I don't think so.
Was there a taxi waiting for him? Um I'm not sure.
Why can't Helen see him anymore? Well, I'm working up to that sensitive subject.
Wow! Oh! 42! They must have an idea.
I mean, did it happen gradually? Did she just wake up one day and she couldn't see him anymore? OK, Mum? OK.
I'm sure you can beat 42.
Yep.
- On your marks, get set, go! - Let's go.
Come on, go! Come on! Faster! You should've seen them dancing, Henry.
It was magic.
It was like she knew where he was.
Yeah, but she doesn't.
Cute party trick, sure.
But you're you're missing the point.
What if you just suddenly stopped being able to see me? I've experienced that once.
I don't want to go there again.
Robbie did say one thing.
He said he wanted to kiss Mum one more time.
Maybe they met in a dream.
Maybe.
It's nothing.
Come on.
I can do better than this.
Whoo! 41! Oh, well done.
There's something that's been on my mind.
Are you here? I'm always here.
Oh, this is odd.
I'll get used to it.
Robbie I don't know if you stayed in here all that time.
Of course I did.
Of course you would have.
I'm sorry that you saw me like that.
I'm sorry if it seemed I had no faith.

Glue mouth.
Thank you.
Melinda will take care of you.

I spent three months studying in a monastery.
Oh.
How about that?! So you're back? Yeah.
And you're you're not working anymore? Of course.
Work's great for my practice.
It releases the ego.
Right.
So you wear a wig to work? No.
How's Penelope? Has she taken the day off? I see you have a temp.
Yes.
Well, um things didn't quite work out with Penelope and Oh.
I see.
Even a watched pot boils eventually, as they say.
You know, I don't think they do.
Linda would you come back? I'd like that.
Oh, fantastic! I'll give you a pay rise.
I accept.
Oh I can't start for two weeks, though.
I have to give notice.
That's fine.
That is great.
Um so, would you wear a? No No.
That's alright.

Hi, Nanna.
They're gorgeous.
Would you? - Hi.
- Oh, toots.
Elvis, hello.
Is that for lunch? Do you want some? Oh No, thanks.
He's a vegetarian.
Oh.
Suzy, this is what we always dreamed of - a house full of family.
Uh, could you tell her something for me? Kids, um, why don't you give yourselves a tour of the house while I have a chat with your mum? Cool.
I prefer the blue one.
The fellow she was talking about, his name is Sam.
And just say 'mittens'.
Um, he prefers the blue one.
The guy you were talking about, his name is Sam and 'mittens'.
Oh.
Robbie! So it's all going well, then? Everything seems lovely.
'Lovely's the word.
Yes.
Getting used to it.
Um, can I ask, Henry and I were wondering, why can't you see Robbie anymore? Oh we don't know.
I don't know.
Well, how did it happen? Well, I came home one day and he wasn't here.
I thought I thought he'd left.
Did did a taxi ever come for you? A taxi? From the other side.
No? Have you ever seen any other ghosts? I haven't.
Yes, but not in this house.
And not since Robbie, you know, disappeared.
Robbie, why don't you go and check on the kids? Sure.
Come on.
Tell me about Henry.
Yep, and one little step and one big step.
There we go.
Oh Keep going.

Steve, did you just give me earrings in a glass of champagne? Uh-huh.
I did.
You're welcome.
Does does this ever work? Mm-hm.

Well, jewellery in food is never a good idea.
You're right.
Why don't we, um, take a dip before lunch? Yeah No.
I didn't bring my bathers.
Private pool.
Kidding, Jennifer.
I'm kidding.
I am kidding, OK? Mmm Now, please.
Just sit down here and we'll eat.
OK? That's it.
There we go.
Bye, Steve.
It's been interesting.
What What is that? Oh, it's just utterly astonishing! It's just Oh! It melts! Well, that's the beauty of a 7-hour slow-cook.
That's not nutmeg, is it? Yes.
Mmm.
Finished off with truffles.
Black Perigord truffles.
Incredible.
Italian? No.
No, that's the oil.
Uh-huh.
- The truffles are - French.
Mmm.
Whoa.
Cool.
What's that? That's a watch.
Here.
There.
Hmm.
What are all these? Those are for betting.
These are all the races for today.
Hmm.
Isn't that Grandad? Nope.
It's dated 1905, which means this guy would be150 years old.
153, actually.
Come on.
Let's get out of here.
This place gives me the creeps.
Hmm.
I kind of like it.
I mean, technically, we first met when when he was alive.
Really? Remember I told you a man gave this to me on the ferry when I was a kid? Yes.
That was Henry.
We met when he was alive.
Oh, that's lovely.
Look at that.
Now, this is weird.
When we both hold on to it, we go to this strange, dark place where we have to cling onto each other, otherwise we'll get sucked away to I don't know where.
Well, that sounds awful.
I wouldn't want to go messing with that.
No.
Of course not.
Mum, I I wanted to ask how did you, um manage the whole love thing? Oh, you're handling it so much better than I ever did.
Didn't you ever want a cuddle? Every love has its limits.
Accept that now - it'll save you a lot of pain.
Yes.
Of course.
II just thought I This is the love you've chosen.
This is the way it has to be.
No-one, and I mean no-one has ever understood my cooking like you do.
It's it's like you're inside my head.
I know exactly what you mean.
Steve I have to tell you something about me.
Tell me anything.
Um I'm old-fashioned in some ways.
Yes, I know.
And I like that.
In fact, I love that.
Yeah No.
Steve, I'm keeping myself for marriage.
You're keeping yourself? Right.
Yes.
That's great.
Yeah.
Really? Yeah.
Hmm.
Never? No.
No? No.
Not not ever.
How about some dessert? Yes.
Oh, that's a great job.
There we are.
Just pat all that down.
I need a close-up of the dirt.
What what are these called? Cherry tomatoes.
'Cherry bombs', your Aunty Jonquil used to call them.
Because they explode in your mouth.
Oh, yeah.
We've got them in our house.
How long until they ripen? Um, what does the label say? This one? Mmm.
"Allow two weeks for cherry tomatoes to ripen.
" There you go.
Hmm.
We'll just pop on some water.
Go! Go! Yes! You beauty! I've still got it.
That's $500 today so far.
Oh, wow! You're pretty good.
Oh, it's my talent.
Horses - I could always pick a winner.
In this life, it's meant I can provide for your mother.
Oh.
How useful.
Uh, quite.
Ooh, I've got more bets for Helen to place before you go.
Yeah.
No problem.
Robbie, the other evening, I I just overheard you saying to Mum that you wanted to kiss her one more time and I just What? .
.
I was curious Have you kissed? Excuse me? Have you spirited? What's that - spirited? It's wonderful.
What are you talking about? What is it? Spiriting almost made me a man again.
How? Robbie? Wow.
No! And where were you then? Really? That's up high.
Yeah.
Hi, Mum.
What are you two talking about? The good old days.
We were just having a chat.
Oh.
Good.
Suzy, ask her about it.
Oh, um, next time, maybe, 'cause, uh, we gotta go now.
Um, kids? What did he say? Oh, uh, Robbie wants to lay a few more bets.
Um, I'll just get a pen.
Fine.
- Where's the remote? - It's here.
Well, find it.
Relax.
Haven't you got homework? Dinner in an hour.
No snacking.
- Yep.
- Alright.
No, we're not watching that.
I have the most amazing surprise for you.
Oh, Suze, no.
Come on.
Trust me.
Henry I hope you know what you're doing.
Henry? What are we doing? Come on.
We've got to be quick.
Ooh, shit.
Um, uh, I was up here because I was do I thought you were at work.
Oh, there's no need to ignore me.
That's just rude.
Suzy.
Ah.
You're good.
Ha! Suzy.
I thought you said no snacks.
Mmm.
Fine.
Impossible to ignore! Notice me! Fuck me.
Henry, no! You can't light that! How do you mean? You'll kill us.
That's real petrol.
I thought this was a dream.
No.
It's all real.
Real? Come here.
After you.
OK, Mum.
Robbie? Robbie? Robbie? Hello, Suzy.
Who are we meeting, Mum? Please, Robbie, if you're here, try to get a reaction out of her.
Oh, certainly.
Yeah, hello.
Hello.
Mum, you told me Robbie is dead.
I understand if it helps if you keep speaking to him but I can't join in.
You don't remember a thing, do you? Robbie? Ghosts? Henry? OK, Mum.
If we don't leave now, we're gonna miss the kids.
How about I wait in the car? OK? You told her, didn't you? I didn't know, I thought And now look at her.
I didn't know she'd say something to you Why would you do that? Who knows how long she is going to be like this? Oh, bloody hell as you say.
Yeah.
Hold me, Henry.
What happens now? I don't know.
What do you mean you don't know? - Oh - Are you alright, Doctor? Oh Oh, Linda.
What are you doing here? Did you hit your head? No.
No, no, I'm quite alright.
I just, um Oh Um, no, no, just Oh.
It's nice to see your face.
Um, now Annie.
Um Uh, let's take a look at those, um wisdom teeth.
Do we have to? Yes, I'm afraid.
Um, I think we'll be starting with the, uh the left-hand side.
Uh, the extraction of the left side went very well - last week.
Today we'll be completing with the right.
Well, let's take a look, shall we? Mmm.
Honey, you're working yourself up over nothing.
You've been dead so long, your heart's dead, too.
Sadly untrue.
It's not bad, that, is it? Number one on Billboard for 17 weeks.
Speak of the devil.
Henry! Henry! What What's wrong with you? You look like you've seen a ghost.
Where have you been? How do you mean? Well, we haven't seen you for two weeks.
We thought Jennifer killed you.
No.
Not fucking likely.
I've been trying to tell her that you'd be back.
Henry, Suzy can't see us.
She what? Well, Suzy can't see us anymore.
Suze? Suzy? Suze.
Oh Annie, um, I don't think you're gonna need stitches but we'll just wait a few minutes to be sure.
Linda, can you keep an eye on this? Yes, Doctor.
That's ridiculous! Two weeks? That's what she said.
I've got a patient in there, Henry.
I took out two of her wisdom teeth last week.
How could I do dental work if I wasn't here? I don't fucking know! Henry 'A-Dent' - the October edition.
Yeah? It's supposed to be September, not October.
Where are the kids? Hello? Uh, yes.
Who's this? Oh, hi, Suzy.
Sorry? Ha-ha.
Well played.
Yes, it's me, Jennifer.
I'm still here.
Jennifer is at Steve's house.
Oh.
Um, the kids - are they with you? Of course.
Do you need to change the arrangement? You don't want Steve to drop them at the book launch like we arranged? Like we arranged? Uh, yes, of course.
I knew that.
OK.
Bye-bye.
I don't know what's going on.
Helen and Robbie - they they told you about it, that, you know, whatever it was, right? Yes.
Well kind of.
Well Yeah.
OK.
Suze.
Suze.
Your patient.
Shivers! Just stop.
Stop.
Calm down.
It's fine.
Nothing's broken, right? Yes.
No.
No.
All my limbs are intact.
No apparent damage.
OK.
How are you? I'm good.
I'm really good.
Hello? Hello, Suzy.
Robbie.
Where's Mum? Oh, you're back.
We need to talk.
See? You left the building.
What, do I need to ask the committee for permission? He's done it.
I can tell - he's different.
Done what? No.
Spook story.
Betty thinks it might be relevant to your situation.
What is this - another one of Dazza's tall tales? Not mine.
You and I both know ghosts are full of shit, trying to convince themselves their bodies are not lost forever.
Come on, then.
Let's hear it.
Go on, King.
Tell us.
Well, the story goes, if a ghost and a mortal fall in love, the ghost can get his body back, at least for a time, in some mythical realm.
That's what they say, is it? I told you.
You're kidding, Henry.
There's no way.
Actually, I'm not.
And there is.
It's a pity it all comes at such a cost.
Not to you, though.
Hooray for Henry.
Poor Suzy.
Darling, you and Henry have spirited.
That's what Robbie and I call it.
Time goes differently when you're spiriting.
A moment there can be much longer here.
But how come no-one noticed I was gone? There was another you here in your place.
What? Oh, you were alright.
You were almost like you.
Just a little duller.
There's no harm done.
Tell us all about it, Suzy.
Where did you go? I don't understand.
Explain it to me, Mum.
How many times have you done it? Oh I've lost count.
16 times.
16 times? He does remember everything, doesn't he? But how long have you have you done this for? About an hour.
We found you can never stay longer than about an hour.
But if two weeks passed when we were gone, then an hour would be About a year.
A year?! But what happens to your body? What To your life? This is how I coped.
That's what these were about? Uh-huh.
You were trying to piece your life together, trying to work out what happened when you were gone? That's why you said I was old when you saw me at the casino.
You have missed years of your life.
Years and years of your real life.
It wasn't always a year.
Sometimes it was only a couple of months.
Being with Robbie was my real life.
When was the last time that you did it? Over a year ago.
Oh, no.
When we came back, I couldn't see Robbie anymore.
We we seem to have burnt it up or worn it out.
Why didn't you warn me? Why didn't you You just let me waltz on into Anything could've happened.
My children Suzy, it's a gift.
It's not Robbie's fault.
I should've told you.
I thought not knowing would be best.
Then you wouldn't have to choose.
You chose.
That's why you left.
That's why you disappeared.
You chose to live to miss your life altogether and live a fantasy life with a with a dead man! Suzy, you don't understand.
It's so hard to stop.
You're with the man you love and it goes so fast.
And now that you've been there, it is going to be impossible to resist.
You're going to want it more and more and so will Henry.
There's no going back.
I'm going home, to my family and my children, who I would never leave.
I understand.
No, Mum, I don't think you do.
Suzy, tell your mother that I love her.
Don't even talk to me.
I know you love me, Robbie.
I love you, too.
No regrets.
After 10 years of dreaming and hoping and and many times failing, um, it's with great pleasure that I am here today for the publication.
But, um, writing this, I never thought that I'd see the day when it would actually be released to the public - Mum! - Verity! Oh, Mummy! I missed you! Oh! Could we have a swim in the pool? Oh! Hi, Elvis.
Jennifer this is the guy I saw when I died the first time.
What? I was at Suzy's, changing a light bulb.
But this is him.
This Really? Yes, really.
This is my guy.
Oh, Steve, I think I understand why we've met.
One little glass, OK? One small glass.
Sweetheart, we know why.
We're we're perfect together.
Yes.
But, Steve there's a higher purpose.
We both have a connection to the unknown.
Steve's shagging the make-up chick? When did that happen? Sometime in the last two weeks apparently.
Tonight we celebrate our brother Henry, the ghost who shows us what the afterlife really can be.
Alright.
Step aside.
Coming through.
Sweet honeybee.
You're so dangerous.
Your guy's here.
I can smell him.
Very strongly.
I knew it.
Whoo-hoo! Wow.
Thank you, uh, all for coming.
It's, uh .
.
it's quite a turnout.
Oh, not really, but thanks, anyway.
My book, uh, proves once and for all, uh, what has long been suspected - that is, that Henry Mallet is dead.
He most certainly is.
- Mallet! Mallet! Mallet! - Henry, Henry, Henry Henry will never again write a song.
Thank God! He will, uh, never grace a stage with his swagger and, uh, we shall never know how age may have mellowed him, um, uh, and what he would make of all this.
But, um, I will never get to share a glass of whisky with him or even have a yarn.
If only you knew, brother.
But Henry's Henry's been my guide and he's been my friend and, uh, writing this book has been the greatest adventure of my life.
So, vale, Henry Mallet.
May you rest in peace.
Not likely.
Thanks, Zac.
It's been real.
It's been real.
Thanks.
The ghost world - tonight we party to raise the dead! Come on, guest of honour.
Yeah, no, thanks, Daz.
I'll I'll catch up with you.
Look at us lonely ladies.
I'm a book widow.
You couldn't even find a date to bring.
You're gonna end up just like Mum.
Oh, my.
Are you OK? Was it alright tonight, celebrating your own? What, death? Yeah.
Getting used to it.
Every time I feel like I'm getting somewhere with this existence, the good old universe is very fucking quick to point out that I shall forevermore remain a dead man.
We could do it again.
Suze I want to.
Not just for you, but for me.
For us.
Yeah.
And then what? I'd love to do it again, too, Suze, more than you can ever imagine.
But we never will.
I'm the one who loses something.
It should be my decision.
Suzy I may never be able to kiss you but I can love you without fucking up your entire life.
You know? I can.
Yeah? Into each other's arms Yeah.
We were suddenly intimate friends With passion our concern We proceeded to burn The candle at both of its ends And when we went our ways I had a new pain Also I had a new friend But the word was out on you And words get around too I knew all about you since then Down there, two on the right.
Are you Zac Hannigan? I'm Henry Mallet.
I believe you think I'm dead.
