Five Bedrooms (2019) s01e05 Episode Script
Five Lies
[mid-tempo music]
- [Narrator] Previously
on "Five Bedrooms."
- Is this about
the Ben situation?
- When you had your
dalliance with him,
how did you turn your
feelings off so quickly?
- Yeah, life is short.
And when you find this
kind of connection,
you gotta have a crack.
- Melanie--
- Where is my husband?
- We got a leak problem.
She's saying that
she still loves me.
- You have been
declared bankrupt.
You are required by law
to inform your employer.
- Unfortunately it means
instant disqualification.
- Mum, in terms of my love life,
let me handle it myself, okay?
- That's what I've
been doing, Harpreet.
Where is the woman?
- [Harry] I just haven't
met the right person yet.
[slow music]
Clarity, empathy,
and 100% honesty.
I like to think
that's my trademark,
in my professional
life at least.
- Please, tell me this
won't happen again.
- Unfortunately with melanoma
there is always a
risk of it returning.
But there's no
need to be anxious.
You've simply got to know
the risks, take precautions,
and keep up your
yearly skin checks.
In my personal life,
the honestly stats
weren't quite so strong.
See you Monday.
- Ooh, you're off early today.
Something exciting on?
- But maybe that was changing.
Actually, I've got a date.
Have a good weekend, Cynthia.
- Oh, you too.
[upbeat music]
- [Harry] Whenever I needed
laser beam, bare naked truth--
- Okay, ready.
- [Harry] Liz was
the place to go.
- If the goal is
to cause the man
retinal damage,
you've nailed it.
You look like a waiter,
or an undertaker.
You look like a
waiter at a funeral.
Find the middle ground.
- What does that even mean?
- Be true to yourself.
- Okay, gee I'd like to comment.
But I'm mindful of
cultural sensitivities.
- Gotcha!
[Liz laughing]
- I know I'm over
invested, but the man
has invited you out to
a wine bar at 3:00 p.m.
This is it, Harry.
Also, I have nothing else
going on in my life right now.
In fact, I'm potentially
at rock bottom.
I need the distraction.
And it's been
completely worth it.
Oh. [growls]
[upbeat music]
[people talking]
- [Harry] For the
first time in my life
I wished I could
send a message back
to petrified 20 year old Harry.
One day you'll be dating
an Italian policeman.
- Hello.
- [Harry] You'll
be out in public
talking with total
honesty to each other.
- It was annoyingly
underwhelming, actually.
My brother had already come out.
I didn't even get to
complete the sentence.
I got out, "Mum, Dad."
And they both guessed.
I mean, Mum was
completely unaffected.
- Really?
- Mm.
I mean, it got a little
weird when Dad came out too,
but she took it on the chin.
[laughs] I'm so
sorry, I'm kidding.
I'm kidding, he didn't come out.
[Harry laughing]
[laughs] So how did your
mum react when you told her?
- She was gracious in a quiet
don't speak about it
too much kind of way.
- Mm-hm.
- Yeah.
But that's the thing about
a policy of total honesty.
It only takes a 10% half
truth and you're a total liar.
[mid-tempo music]
[computer keys clacking]
[door banging]
[Liz gasping]
- I just wanted to let you know
that Ben and I are rostered on to clean this week,
and I'm going to
take this opportunity
to say something to him.
I know what you think,
but we're at the point
where I just need to
rip the Band-Aid off.
- Do you know what ripping
the Band-Aid off means?
- I think I do.
- 'Cause this isn't ripping.
This is edging
slowly, annoyingly.
- I know you disapprove.
- [Liz] I do.
- But this is what I'm gonna do.
- Well thank you for the update.
- You're welcome.
- I was being sarcastic.
- I know.
[slow quirky music]
Oh, Ben, it looks like you and I
are in the cleaning trenches.
- Can't wait.
- I was maybe if
we get started now
we can knock it
over before dinner.
- Oh, 100%, yeah.
- [Heather] Oh actually,
I need to swap.
- Sorry?
- I'm on weekend shifts
for the next three weeks.
- So?
- So I'll do it
with Ben this week.
- It's just that
I was going to do
a really thorough
clean and get in
all those hard to reach places.
- You saying I didn't?
So my cleaning was
good enough for you
for the eight years you
lived in my granny flat,
but now suddenly
it's substandard?
- You're looking for an
insult that isn't there.
- Am I?
'Cause I feel like you're
spitting in my face.
- I'm sorry, I didn't
realize your identity
was so attached to cleaning.
- You're the one who insisted
on a bloody cleaning roster.
- I was just trying to help.
- So am I.
I'm actually just
trying to pull my weight
and I don't understand
what the problem is.
- There is no problem.
- Great.
We took the scenic
route, but we got there.
- [Ainsley] Well that
was not my fault.
- For the love of God, if you insist on following
this thing through, just ask the man out for a drink.
On the third beer--
- I promise I'm going
to say all of the things
the very next time I
see him, no excuses.
I can see that you don't
believe me, but you're wrong.
- Am I?
- Yes, you are.
You'll see.
[country music]
She was a big-boned gal
- What's this?
- This is just my
cleaning playlist.
It's good to be your
cleaning partner.
What made you pick me?
- I didn't pick you.
- You weren't angling for a
bit of alone time with me?
- No, I was trying to
explain in plain English
that I needed to work the
next three weekends in a row.
- Nonetheless, we do
have this whole place
to ourselves for
at least an hour.
I reckon we could
have this whole house
done and dusted in 45 minutes,
which would leave
us 15 minutes to do
[groans] whatever, you know.
- Too risky, and you
know, I'm sober, so.
- Yeah, Roger that.
I'll just busy myself here then.
Hey, hey, the big-boned gal
- Seriously?
- It's just how
I mop, all right?
- How do you dust?
- Dust?
Ooh.
Just regular dusting.
Ain't no doubt
she's a natural ♪
Reelin' and a rockin'
- How do you place a bin bag?
Here you go.
- It's all about the grip,
and the placement, and.
- Yeah, wrong-sized bag.
You're going to
be there all day.
[Heather panting]
- Right-o, downstairs
bathroom done, hallway swept.
Gutters probably good
for another week.
Hey, we would hear
them if they came home.
And once this hits spin
cycle, she'd muffle anything.
14 minutes left on the clock.
- Spin cycle's eight minutes.
We've got until permanent press.
Come on. [groans]
- Shit.
You all right, it's all right?
- Yeah, I'm all right.
- Stop here, mate,
on the left please.
Thanks, mate.
See, now I call this
an indisputable plus
of neighbor dating.
- I am starting to wonder
if you're only in this
for the rideshare benefits.
- So, what now?
- Well, I don't want
the night to end.
- Well, you want to
maybe come back to mine?
- Actually no.
My heart is home with you
My heart is home with you
- Okay, clear.
- Was that doctor speak?
- Would you like doctor speak?
- Oh, I'm open to anything.
- Okay, come here, stat.
Oh my God, I'm so sorry.
- Fuck it, I never
liked this shirt anyway.
[door knocking]
- Hey.
- Hey.
- I just thought I'd let
you know that Harry's home.
He's making a lot
of happy sounds,
so good signs on the Pete front.
- Hm, come up the
stairs to tell me that?
- No, there is something else.
I got a visit with
Mia coming up.
- Oh, that's exciting.
- Yeah, yeah.
No, it is.
It's also a bit terrifying.
I tell you what, she
really likes you.
After she got home
from the hospital
she was telling Bec that
she reckons you're funny.
- [laughs] I liked her too.
- Is there any chance
you want to join us?
I just thought it
might help Mia somehow
having someone else to talk to
in case I, you know,
don't make any sense.
- You sure she wouldn't
rather just hang out with you?
- Oh, that's the thing.
I don't know.
Ever since my little tango
with the Spanish dancer,
I reckon there's no
time to stuff about.
You know, you got to
get as much exposure
to your favorite
people as you can.
- I'll think about it.
- All right, cheers.
- Hey, where do you
think you're going?
[slow music]
[door banging]
- I can confirm, that
was policeman Pete
transiting from the
bedroom to the bathroom
wearing one of Harry's
cricket T-shirts.
Oh. [vocalizes]
- What are you doing?
- Just--
- Breakfasting.
- Oh, that's funny.
Because I don't
believe we've ever
all breakfasted
at the same time.
[footsteps thudding]
Okay, if you could all
just stay cool please
and avoid any
inappropriate anything.
- Morning.
- Oh, hey.
- Morning.
- Hello.
- Morning.
- Hazza, here it comes.
- He just does this
ever since the surgery.
- It's a version of love.
- I kind of liked it. [laughs]
- I'll show ya.
- Okay.
- Boom, boom--
- But you don't have to.
[men laughing]
- [Manju] Hello, anybody home?
- Mum.
You have a key?
- I had one cut.
Who has the time to knock?
- You didn't say you
were coming over.
- Perhaps I'm here
to visit Elizabeth.
- Are you?
- No.
Who are you?
- I'm--
- This is Pete, Mum,
one of our neighbors.
- Ah, and you go for India.
- Yeah, I'm a big fan.
- Right, you ready for the test?
Harpreet and I
watch it together.
- Oh, great.
- Some feel Dhoni was a
better captain than goalie.
But I love Virat's
fighting spirit.
What do you think?
- I agree.
- So who's your favorite player?
- Oh, I love that
guy, Shar, Shar--
- Sachin Tendulkar?
- [Pete] That's the one, yeah.
- Ah, Sachin
Tendulkar, he's lovely.
But he hasn't played
in a long while.
You must update your choices.
So, Peter, how do
you know everybody?
- Like I said, Mum, he's
one of our neighbors.
- He's also a police officer.
- Oh, police, what's wrong?
- Nothing.
He's consulting us about
our security systems
after the last break-in.
- I could use a new security
system for my house too.
Since Harpreet left
me I feel very unsafe.
- Well I know come
good companies, can
give you some names.
- [Manju] Thank you, lovely.
- Right, leave you guys to it.
- I might walk Pete out.
- [Pete] No, it's
fine, talk later.
- He's so handsome.
- Mm.
- But a bit young
for you, Elizabeth.
- I'm so sorry.
Would you believe
me if I told you
that's not the most
awkward first encounter
someone's had with my mother?
- She doesn't know you're gay?
- I'm sorry.
Everything was
just going so well
and your mum sounded so amazing.
I'm going to tell her soon.
- No, Harry, it's got
to be for your own sake.
- We're watching the test today
and I'm going to do it then.
- [Pete] Oh, your shirt.
- Thanks.
Mum would actually be devastated
if I wasn't wearing it, so.
Maybe after I've told her
you could help me recover
with copious amounts of wine,
maybe a quick fossick through
my medical dictionary.
- Just please be honest with
me, even if it's difficult.
And yeah, I could
probably manage the wine.
[slow music]
And bring your dictionary.
[man clearing throat]
- [Woman] You worked on
the Chambers divorce?
- [Liz] I led the team, yeah.
- Wow.
Wasn't that a record breaker?
- I can't say, but I think
it's public knowledge
that Tessa Chambers is living
very comfortably in Mallorca.
[all laughing]
- You realize mostly
we draw up wills,
arrange power of attorney.
- We sort out some disputes,
but when it comes to litigation
we tend to refer to other firms.
- Yes, of course.
Well, I actually
started in estate law,
so this is a real
back to my roots move.
Also, I just think
it's so important
that we're 100% honest.
- Of course.
- I was actually declared
bankrupt recently.
- Oh, I see.
- Right.
- I mean, in terms
of this position
there'd be little to no impact,
aside from the fact
that I'm likely
to be particularly dedicated.
[all laughing]
- Right, right.
Thanks for telling us that.
[slow music]
- Any other questions?
No, it was wonderful,
it was perfect,
couldn't believe their luck.
Until I came clean
about my situation.
- [Harry] Do you have
to say it up front?
- [sighs] Technically yes and
legally, possibly ethically.
- [Harry] [sighs]
Are you still there?
- Yes.
- I just wanted to let you
know that I am in my car,
parked outside Mum's,
and it's gonna happen.
I'm telling her.
- Oh my God.
Right now?
- Yeah.
- Oh, oh.
Um, where do you want me?
Um, nearest bar,
outside the window?
- Oh, I'll just call
you after, okay?
- I feel like I'm going to cry.
- [Harry] No don't, don't cry.
- What are you wearing?
- My cricket T-shirt.
We're watching the test.
- [Liz] Oh, it's beautiful.
Shall we rehearse?
- Absolutely not.
- I do your mother so well.
- [Harry] No, you do not.
- Come on, Harpreet.
- Liz, stop.
How many times do
I have to tell you?
It's racist.
- Is it though?
- Even asking that is racist.
- How do you feel?
[slow music]
- I don't know.
- [Liz] She really
loves you, Harry.
- Yeah, but it's not just her.
She'll be up
against the aunties.
Put it this way, I don't think
I'll be going to Diwali again.
- [Liz] No, you will.
And if not, you know, I
will fly us both to India
for Diwali first class.
- You're bankrupt.
- You will have to
cover the first year,
but we are going to stay
in a five star hotel,
we'll ride the elephants.
- [Harry] Such a stereotype.
- We'll look at
the real fireworks,
none of the crappy
sparklers in backyards.
- Okay, I'm going to do it.
- I love you, Harry.
I love you.
- I love you too.
[doorbell ringing]
- What are you doing ringing
the doorbell to your own home?
The neighbors will
think I've disowned you.
[quirky music]
Come on in.
- Okay, Mum.
Just before we sit down--
- I've got a very
special surprise for you.
- Oh, Mum, I'm
really not hungry.
Please just sit--
- Come out, dear.
- Hey, Harry.
- Prisha's here to watch
the cricket with us.
Meteorologist, single, over 30,
and she thinks it's your idea.
Go on, go on.
- [Commentator]
Jefferson continues.
[crowd cheering]
- [Commentator] Right off
the middle of the bat.
Beautiful strike of the ball--
- I made this saag today.
It's Harpreet's favorite.
Try it.
- I'd love to.
- How's it?
- Fantastic.
- Ah, I don't like to say this
but it's better than
your mum's, yeah?
- Absolutely.
- Mum, don't you want
to watch the cricket?
- No, no, no, I don't
want to be an intrusion.
- [Commentator] Couldn't
ask for better conditions.
Marsh is on the attack.
A bounce and misses it, no no.
- Thanks for inviting me.
- Oh, that's
Thanks for coming.
- How's work?
My mum says you're a
fully-fledged surgeon now.
- He's very successful.
Six figures is all I'm saying.
- I'm so sorry.
- Don't be.
My mum's much worse.
Her favorite dinner activity
is to criticize my life choices.
At least your mum's adoring.
- That's one word for it.
So how's work for you?
You're a meteorologist?
- Yeah.
It's good.
A lot of travel, but I enjoy it.
- Ah, your jobs will not
keep you warm at night.
- At least as a meteorologist
you'd be prepared for the cold.
- [laughs] Such a wit.
Just like his father,
just like his father.
- Prisha, do you actually
like the cricket?
- I was forced to
watch it as a kid
and it honestly
puts me to sleep.
- Do you want to go
out and get a drink?
- [laughs] Of course, of course,
please enjoy your
time out together.
I'll text you the scores.
- Look, Prisha,
you're a lovely girl.
And in another life
you would definitely
be my woman of choice.
But--
- You're seeing a white chick?
- No.
Well, I am seeing someone.
But definitely
not a white chick.
Actually, they are white,
but not so much female.
- You're gay.
- Yes.
That's what I'm trying
to say, thank you.
- I knew a handsome
single doctor
who wasn't a prick was
too good to be true.
- I feel awful for
wasting your time.
- It's okay.
The combined force
of our mothers--
- Oh my God, terrifying.
- Right?
[Harry laughing]
Oh God.
My mum's going to think
this was my fault.
- [Harry] No.
- Oh, she will.
- No, don't worry about that.
I fully intend to
come out to Mum soon.
- Seriously?
[slow music]
- Yes.
- Sorry, just none
of the family friends
have done that before.
They seem to move
overseas and not return.
- I've considered that
on many occasions.
But like you said, Mum loves
me, so she'll find a way.
- I didn't say that.
Sorry, I mean, hopefully yeah.
I hope she's capable of that.
[mid-tempo music]
- This is not at
all a reflection
of your own interior design
skills, Mrs Creighton,
which by the way, I love.
But the problem
is not all buyers
have your refined taste, so--
- This has got
nothing to do with--
- Shoot.
- Please, you're
acting ridiculous.
- I'm so sorry, Mrs Creighton,
I'm going to have
to call you back.
- Could I have a word please?
- [Lachlan] Mel.
- Is everything okay?
- [Mel] I just wanted
to say congratulations.
- Sorry?
- Mel.
- You got there in the end.
- [Ainsley] Where?
- Don't touch me.
My life for the past six
months has been a horror movie
where my husband has been
stalked by a pug-nosed redhead.
- She's not pug-nosed.
- I'm not doing
anything with Lachlan.
- I hope you're
proud of yourself.
- Not really.
I deeply apologize for
my history with Lachlan,
but I can assure you
that I've moved on.
- Says the girl who bought
a whole house with him.
- There's someone else, okay?
There's someone special
and I'm focused on him now.
- How'd you get him,
co-invest in a superyacht?
See you at home.
- [sighs] I am so
sorry about that.
Clearly Mel and I have a
couple of issues right now.
- Right.
- I just was honest with
her about some feelings
I have for someone
else, not you.
- Lachlan, I don't need to know,
and you should probably.
- Okay.
I didn't realize you
were seeing someone.
[slow music]
- Well, now you do.
[rock music]
Where's Ben?
- I think in his room
listening to terrible music.
- Mm-hm, and the others?
- Don't know about Heather.
Don't think she's home.
Harry's at his mother's.
As far as I know I'm
the only one here.
Why don't I conduct
business in my room,
or maybe I need,
I'll have a third
workout in the garage.
- Ben.
- [Ben] Yeah?
- Ben, you in there?
- Yeah.
- Would you mind
if we had a chat?
- Yeah, Ains, no worries.
Just give us a sec, will ya?
[head thudding]
- [Ainsley] I can come back.
- No, it's fine, Ains.
[dog barking]
[Heather grunting]
Sorry, Ains, coming.
Ains, sorry to keep you waiting.
- Could we just,
could I come in?
- Yeah.
Do you want to sit down?
- Yeah, ooh.
- All right.
Ooh.
- Ooh.
So I need to tell you something.
It's a bit uncomfortable
for me, maybe for you too.
Sorry.
- It's all right.
- I know we have some
pretty strict house rules
about not complicating
things with romance.
- Look, I got to
stop you there, Ains.
I've never been
sold on those rules.
- Really?
- Yeah, if something happens,
it happens, you know?
- I agree.
I mean, it's better to
just be honest, right?
- Yeah, totally, totally.
[both laughing]
- Totally.
Which is why I need to tell you
that I have feelings for you.
- Mate, I'm seeing someone.
- I didn't realize.
- Well no, it's only early days.
I mean, we haven't
even told anyone.
But it might be serious.
- Oh wow, I'm sorry.
- No, no, don't apologize.
I mean, if I wasn't, you
know how much I love you,
or how much I care about you.
I mean, any bloke would
be lucky to be with--
- It's okay.
- No.
No, hey, Ains.
Ains, you gotta talk to me.
- It's fine.
- You gotta talk to me.
- I think I just needed
to say it, and now I have.
[slow music]
And I actually feel
much better, lighter.
I think that maybe I just
needed to release it.
Can we not mention
this to anyone?
- [Ben] Yeah.
- Just forget it ever happened.
No but Ains, Ains.
That kind of thing
takes guts and, I mean,
you can do way better than me.
- Oh.
- Yeah, Ains, yeah,
you actually can.
- Thank you.
[Ben sighing]
- You haven't told her.
- There were complications.
A third party was involved.
But there's another
day of the test
and I'm absolutely
going to tell--
- Why don't you just
take the time you need?
Sorry, I just
Look, I've had this before,
an ex who was always on
the brink of coming out.
And I just, I can't,
I can't do it again.
- What, so that's it then?
[slow music]
No, you might struggle
to believe this
but I am going to
tell her, tomorrow.
- And if that happens,
you know where I live.
- I do.
- What you saw earlier.
- So this is happening?
We're talking about this?
- Well, I suppose you
wouldn't believe me
if I told you I'd been
dabbling in parkour?
- What's parkour?
- Something my boys
watch on YouTube.
- Okay, sure.
Let's go with that.
- Look, you were very clear
about the house rules.
No sleeping with housemates--
- I don't give a fuck
about the house rules.
- Well clearly I owe
you an explanation.
- No need for full disclosure.
- Okay.
[quirky music]
[Heather panting]
- I have to tell you something--
- Oh fuck!
- Sorry.
I've been avoiding you a bit.
I think because I know
exactly what you'll say.
But now I just need to hear it.
- Oh God, is this
a Lachlan thing?
What's he done this time?
- [laughs] No.
But it is remarkably
similar territory.
I have feelings for Ben.
Had, have.
I actually backed
myself and told him.
He wasn't interested.
Of course he wasn't.
But yeah.
So I need you to hit me
with it with both barrels.
Come on, I broke the house
rules and I fell again
for a guy who is apparently
in love with someone else.
- What?
Did he say that?
- Mm-hm.
[slow music]
Did you know?
- No.
- In my defense, I did
compress the self-torture
from five years to
well, only a few weeks.
Which shows some
progress, doesn't it?
- Well yeah, that's
definitely progress.
- [Woman] You have
six new messages.
[phone beeping]
- [Manju] Was it a
wonderful night with Prisha?
It was so lov--
[phone beeping]
Please call me.
Prisha has also not
called her mother yet.
[phone beeping]
Harpreet, I did
not get much sleep.
I'll have a sleep now.
[phone beeping]
I cannot sleep.
Harpreet, your father's
smiling down on you.
I can just--
- [Harry] I didn't
give myself a choice.
We were winning the test.
She'd be onto her fourth sherry.
Circumstances would
never be better.
- [Commentator] Going
into the 43rd over.
- Mum, it's just me.
- [Commentator] That's a
six for sure, that's huge.
[Harry sighing]
- Wish me luck, Papaji.
- [Commentator] The second ball
and Dhoni's hit another six.
- Mum.
[slow suspenseful music]
Mum.
[dramatic music]
Mum, can you hear me?
[Manju groaning]
I need an ambulance.
It's my mum, I think
she's had a stroke.
[slow music]
The walls go up
And the walls come down

There's something inside
It knows my fears
- Is she okay?
- We don't know.
I think I left the
oven on at her house.
She was cooking and I just--
- Don't worry about that,
we'll take care of that.
- Dr. Sethi, your
mother has had a stroke.
It's lucky you found
her when you did.
But we need to do a
number of tests and scans
before we get a true sense
of what her recovery
will look like.
- I don't know what to do.
- Be here, that's
really all you can do.
[slow music]
Do you have any immediate
family you can call to help?
- No, it's just me.
- Okay, we'll update
you as soon as we can.
[birds chirping]
- Hey, have you got a sec?
- Ah, yes, yeah, I'm all yours.
- What I'm about to say
may feel inconsistent
with my recent behavior.
We can't do this anymore.
- Right, this is about Ainsley.
- Look, it's so complicated
I can't even explain
it to myself.
You are,
you'll probably never understand
how much this arrangement
has done for me.
- Look, if this is a version
of mates before dates,
isn't there a right of way,
a first in, first
served type thing?
- Yeah, it's not just that.
- Yeah, I understand.
It's complicated with
Ainsley, I get that.
But don't you think
it's worth it?
- I just don't think I'm
feeling what you're feeling.
[slow music]
- Right.
Really?
- We both knew this
wasn't a long-term thing.
- Hey?
Yeah, I didn't know that.
- Well you do now.
- [Lachlan] Ains.
- Not a good time.
- What's wrong?
- [Ainsley] Nothing.
- Look, if this is about
the mean Mel situation,
I've talked to her.
Well, I've sent her
several messages.
- As hard as it may
be for you to believe,
this has nothing to do
with you or your wife.
- Well then something
is definitely wrong.
- Oh my God.
- Come on, Ains.
We used to be completely
honest with each other.
- Actually, no.
Whatever was going on
with whatever it was,
it was never honesty.
- That's confronting.
- I don't care.
- Well then, can I be completely
honest with you right now?
I lied to you
yesterday, and to Mel.
I don't have feelings
for someone else.
It's you, Ains.
[slow music]
I just keep thinking about
us and what an idiot I was.
I just, I never
knew how you felt.
All these years, I swear,
if you just told me.
And I know I shouldn't
be saying any of this
because you've got another
bloke now and I respect that.
- Good, you should.
Anything else?
Then why are you still here?
[machine beeping]
- Who was that?
- No one, just the others.
They've picked up the key
and they're on the
way to your mum's.
Is there anyone else you want
me to contact, maybe Pete?
- I need you to ease
up on the Pete thing.
- Okay, but it
might be a good idea
just to let him know
what's going on.
He really cares about you.
- Liz, it's not going to happen.
- I know it's been an
unimaginably shitty day.
- Pete doesn't want to be
with anyone who's not out,
which is totally understandable.
But that's not me.
- [Liz] It will be.
- It really might not be,
and that's gotta be okay.
She could die.
I can't be the one to break her.
- Okay, well, I'm
not suggesting--
- If I never tell her,
that's gotta be okay.
- Of course.
[door creaking]
- Dr. Sethi, your mother is
starting to become responsive.
- Mum, Mum, can you hear me?
You're in hospital.
You've had a stroke.
On and on the strain
Beauty from afar
Help is on its way
- You probably don't
remember anything,
but it will start
coming back to you.
[Manju groaning]
Don't speak, it's okay.
Beauty from afar
Help is on its way
I know you love to fall
On and on the strain
Beauty from afar
- You're going to be okay, Mum.
I'm not going anywhere, okay?
I love you, and I'll be

- [Narrator] Next time
on "Five Bedrooms."
Happy Birth
- It's tomorrow, Colin.
- I know that.
- Every time I turn
around, there you are.
- Well, I live here and I'm
currently unemployed, so.
- Maybe you need to lower
your standards and
try a little harder.
- I can't remember
if you're supposed
to swipe left or right.
But I accidentally
matched with Colin.
Oh, you didn't
know he was dating.
- I've decided that what
I want for my birthday
is to pretend it's
not my birthday.
- [All] Surprise!
- If I had told you how I
felt all those years ago,
how would you have reacted?
[upbeat music]
- [Narrator] Previously
on "Five Bedrooms."
- Is this about
the Ben situation?
- When you had your
dalliance with him,
how did you turn your
feelings off so quickly?
- Yeah, life is short.
And when you find this
kind of connection,
you gotta have a crack.
- Melanie--
- Where is my husband?
- We got a leak problem.
She's saying that
she still loves me.
- You have been
declared bankrupt.
You are required by law
to inform your employer.
- Unfortunately it means
instant disqualification.
- Mum, in terms of my love life,
let me handle it myself, okay?
- That's what I've
been doing, Harpreet.
Where is the woman?
- [Harry] I just haven't
met the right person yet.
[slow music]
Clarity, empathy,
and 100% honesty.
I like to think
that's my trademark,
in my professional
life at least.
- Please, tell me this
won't happen again.
- Unfortunately with melanoma
there is always a
risk of it returning.
But there's no
need to be anxious.
You've simply got to know
the risks, take precautions,
and keep up your
yearly skin checks.
In my personal life,
the honestly stats
weren't quite so strong.
See you Monday.
- Ooh, you're off early today.
Something exciting on?
- But maybe that was changing.
Actually, I've got a date.
Have a good weekend, Cynthia.
- Oh, you too.
[upbeat music]
- [Harry] Whenever I needed
laser beam, bare naked truth--
- Okay, ready.
- [Harry] Liz was
the place to go.
- If the goal is
to cause the man
retinal damage,
you've nailed it.
You look like a waiter,
or an undertaker.
You look like a
waiter at a funeral.
Find the middle ground.
- What does that even mean?
- Be true to yourself.
- Okay, gee I'd like to comment.
But I'm mindful of
cultural sensitivities.
- Gotcha!
[Liz laughing]
- I know I'm over
invested, but the man
has invited you out to
a wine bar at 3:00 p.m.
This is it, Harry.
Also, I have nothing else
going on in my life right now.
In fact, I'm potentially
at rock bottom.
I need the distraction.
And it's been
completely worth it.
Oh. [growls]
[upbeat music]
[people talking]
- [Harry] For the
first time in my life
I wished I could
send a message back
to petrified 20 year old Harry.
One day you'll be dating
an Italian policeman.
- Hello.
- [Harry] You'll
be out in public
talking with total
honesty to each other.
- It was annoyingly
underwhelming, actually.
My brother had already come out.
I didn't even get to
complete the sentence.
I got out, "Mum, Dad."
And they both guessed.
I mean, Mum was
completely unaffected.
- Really?
- Mm.
I mean, it got a little
weird when Dad came out too,
but she took it on the chin.
[laughs] I'm so
sorry, I'm kidding.
I'm kidding, he didn't come out.
[Harry laughing]
[laughs] So how did your
mum react when you told her?
- She was gracious in a quiet
don't speak about it
too much kind of way.
- Mm-hm.
- Yeah.
But that's the thing about
a policy of total honesty.
It only takes a 10% half
truth and you're a total liar.
[mid-tempo music]
[computer keys clacking]
[door banging]
[Liz gasping]
- I just wanted to let you know
that Ben and I are rostered on to clean this week,
and I'm going to
take this opportunity
to say something to him.
I know what you think,
but we're at the point
where I just need to
rip the Band-Aid off.
- Do you know what ripping
the Band-Aid off means?
- I think I do.
- 'Cause this isn't ripping.
This is edging
slowly, annoyingly.
- I know you disapprove.
- [Liz] I do.
- But this is what I'm gonna do.
- Well thank you for the update.
- You're welcome.
- I was being sarcastic.
- I know.
[slow quirky music]
Oh, Ben, it looks like you and I
are in the cleaning trenches.
- Can't wait.
- I was maybe if
we get started now
we can knock it
over before dinner.
- Oh, 100%, yeah.
- [Heather] Oh actually,
I need to swap.
- Sorry?
- I'm on weekend shifts
for the next three weeks.
- So?
- So I'll do it
with Ben this week.
- It's just that
I was going to do
a really thorough
clean and get in
all those hard to reach places.
- You saying I didn't?
So my cleaning was
good enough for you
for the eight years you
lived in my granny flat,
but now suddenly
it's substandard?
- You're looking for an
insult that isn't there.
- Am I?
'Cause I feel like you're
spitting in my face.
- I'm sorry, I didn't
realize your identity
was so attached to cleaning.
- You're the one who insisted
on a bloody cleaning roster.
- I was just trying to help.
- So am I.
I'm actually just
trying to pull my weight
and I don't understand
what the problem is.
- There is no problem.
- Great.
We took the scenic
route, but we got there.
- [Ainsley] Well that
was not my fault.
- For the love of God, if you insist on following
this thing through, just ask the man out for a drink.
On the third beer--
- I promise I'm going
to say all of the things
the very next time I
see him, no excuses.
I can see that you don't
believe me, but you're wrong.
- Am I?
- Yes, you are.
You'll see.
[country music]
She was a big-boned gal
- What's this?
- This is just my
cleaning playlist.
It's good to be your
cleaning partner.
What made you pick me?
- I didn't pick you.
- You weren't angling for a
bit of alone time with me?
- No, I was trying to
explain in plain English
that I needed to work the
next three weekends in a row.
- Nonetheless, we do
have this whole place
to ourselves for
at least an hour.
I reckon we could
have this whole house
done and dusted in 45 minutes,
which would leave
us 15 minutes to do
[groans] whatever, you know.
- Too risky, and you
know, I'm sober, so.
- Yeah, Roger that.
I'll just busy myself here then.
Hey, hey, the big-boned gal
- Seriously?
- It's just how
I mop, all right?
- How do you dust?
- Dust?
Ooh.
Just regular dusting.
Ain't no doubt
she's a natural ♪
Reelin' and a rockin'
- How do you place a bin bag?
Here you go.
- It's all about the grip,
and the placement, and.
- Yeah, wrong-sized bag.
You're going to
be there all day.
[Heather panting]
- Right-o, downstairs
bathroom done, hallway swept.
Gutters probably good
for another week.
Hey, we would hear
them if they came home.
And once this hits spin
cycle, she'd muffle anything.
14 minutes left on the clock.
- Spin cycle's eight minutes.
We've got until permanent press.
Come on. [groans]
- Shit.
You all right, it's all right?
- Yeah, I'm all right.
- Stop here, mate,
on the left please.
Thanks, mate.
See, now I call this
an indisputable plus
of neighbor dating.
- I am starting to wonder
if you're only in this
for the rideshare benefits.
- So, what now?
- Well, I don't want
the night to end.
- Well, you want to
maybe come back to mine?
- Actually no.
My heart is home with you
My heart is home with you
- Okay, clear.
- Was that doctor speak?
- Would you like doctor speak?
- Oh, I'm open to anything.
- Okay, come here, stat.
Oh my God, I'm so sorry.
- Fuck it, I never
liked this shirt anyway.
[door knocking]
- Hey.
- Hey.
- I just thought I'd let
you know that Harry's home.
He's making a lot
of happy sounds,
so good signs on the Pete front.
- Hm, come up the
stairs to tell me that?
- No, there is something else.
I got a visit with
Mia coming up.
- Oh, that's exciting.
- Yeah, yeah.
No, it is.
It's also a bit terrifying.
I tell you what, she
really likes you.
After she got home
from the hospital
she was telling Bec that
she reckons you're funny.
- [laughs] I liked her too.
- Is there any chance
you want to join us?
I just thought it
might help Mia somehow
having someone else to talk to
in case I, you know,
don't make any sense.
- You sure she wouldn't
rather just hang out with you?
- Oh, that's the thing.
I don't know.
Ever since my little tango
with the Spanish dancer,
I reckon there's no
time to stuff about.
You know, you got to
get as much exposure
to your favorite
people as you can.
- I'll think about it.
- All right, cheers.
- Hey, where do you
think you're going?
[slow music]
[door banging]
- I can confirm, that
was policeman Pete
transiting from the
bedroom to the bathroom
wearing one of Harry's
cricket T-shirts.
Oh. [vocalizes]
- What are you doing?
- Just--
- Breakfasting.
- Oh, that's funny.
Because I don't
believe we've ever
all breakfasted
at the same time.
[footsteps thudding]
Okay, if you could all
just stay cool please
and avoid any
inappropriate anything.
- Morning.
- Oh, hey.
- Morning.
- Hello.
- Morning.
- Hazza, here it comes.
- He just does this
ever since the surgery.
- It's a version of love.
- I kind of liked it. [laughs]
- I'll show ya.
- Okay.
- Boom, boom--
- But you don't have to.
[men laughing]
- [Manju] Hello, anybody home?
- Mum.
You have a key?
- I had one cut.
Who has the time to knock?
- You didn't say you
were coming over.
- Perhaps I'm here
to visit Elizabeth.
- Are you?
- No.
Who are you?
- I'm--
- This is Pete, Mum,
one of our neighbors.
- Ah, and you go for India.
- Yeah, I'm a big fan.
- Right, you ready for the test?
Harpreet and I
watch it together.
- Oh, great.
- Some feel Dhoni was a
better captain than goalie.
But I love Virat's
fighting spirit.
What do you think?
- I agree.
- So who's your favorite player?
- Oh, I love that
guy, Shar, Shar--
- Sachin Tendulkar?
- [Pete] That's the one, yeah.
- Ah, Sachin
Tendulkar, he's lovely.
But he hasn't played
in a long while.
You must update your choices.
So, Peter, how do
you know everybody?
- Like I said, Mum, he's
one of our neighbors.
- He's also a police officer.
- Oh, police, what's wrong?
- Nothing.
He's consulting us about
our security systems
after the last break-in.
- I could use a new security
system for my house too.
Since Harpreet left
me I feel very unsafe.
- Well I know come
good companies, can
give you some names.
- [Manju] Thank you, lovely.
- Right, leave you guys to it.
- I might walk Pete out.
- [Pete] No, it's
fine, talk later.
- He's so handsome.
- Mm.
- But a bit young
for you, Elizabeth.
- I'm so sorry.
Would you believe
me if I told you
that's not the most
awkward first encounter
someone's had with my mother?
- She doesn't know you're gay?
- I'm sorry.
Everything was
just going so well
and your mum sounded so amazing.
I'm going to tell her soon.
- No, Harry, it's got
to be for your own sake.
- We're watching the test today
and I'm going to do it then.
- [Pete] Oh, your shirt.
- Thanks.
Mum would actually be devastated
if I wasn't wearing it, so.
Maybe after I've told her
you could help me recover
with copious amounts of wine,
maybe a quick fossick through
my medical dictionary.
- Just please be honest with
me, even if it's difficult.
And yeah, I could
probably manage the wine.
[slow music]
And bring your dictionary.
[man clearing throat]
- [Woman] You worked on
the Chambers divorce?
- [Liz] I led the team, yeah.
- Wow.
Wasn't that a record breaker?
- I can't say, but I think
it's public knowledge
that Tessa Chambers is living
very comfortably in Mallorca.
[all laughing]
- You realize mostly
we draw up wills,
arrange power of attorney.
- We sort out some disputes,
but when it comes to litigation
we tend to refer to other firms.
- Yes, of course.
Well, I actually
started in estate law,
so this is a real
back to my roots move.
Also, I just think
it's so important
that we're 100% honest.
- Of course.
- I was actually declared
bankrupt recently.
- Oh, I see.
- Right.
- I mean, in terms
of this position
there'd be little to no impact,
aside from the fact
that I'm likely
to be particularly dedicated.
[all laughing]
- Right, right.
Thanks for telling us that.
[slow music]
- Any other questions?
No, it was wonderful,
it was perfect,
couldn't believe their luck.
Until I came clean
about my situation.
- [Harry] Do you have
to say it up front?
- [sighs] Technically yes and
legally, possibly ethically.
- [Harry] [sighs]
Are you still there?
- Yes.
- I just wanted to let you
know that I am in my car,
parked outside Mum's,
and it's gonna happen.
I'm telling her.
- Oh my God.
Right now?
- Yeah.
- Oh, oh.
Um, where do you want me?
Um, nearest bar,
outside the window?
- Oh, I'll just call
you after, okay?
- I feel like I'm going to cry.
- [Harry] No don't, don't cry.
- What are you wearing?
- My cricket T-shirt.
We're watching the test.
- [Liz] Oh, it's beautiful.
Shall we rehearse?
- Absolutely not.
- I do your mother so well.
- [Harry] No, you do not.
- Come on, Harpreet.
- Liz, stop.
How many times do
I have to tell you?
It's racist.
- Is it though?
- Even asking that is racist.
- How do you feel?
[slow music]
- I don't know.
- [Liz] She really
loves you, Harry.
- Yeah, but it's not just her.
She'll be up
against the aunties.
Put it this way, I don't think
I'll be going to Diwali again.
- [Liz] No, you will.
And if not, you know, I
will fly us both to India
for Diwali first class.
- You're bankrupt.
- You will have to
cover the first year,
but we are going to stay
in a five star hotel,
we'll ride the elephants.
- [Harry] Such a stereotype.
- We'll look at
the real fireworks,
none of the crappy
sparklers in backyards.
- Okay, I'm going to do it.
- I love you, Harry.
I love you.
- I love you too.
[doorbell ringing]
- What are you doing ringing
the doorbell to your own home?
The neighbors will
think I've disowned you.
[quirky music]
Come on in.
- Okay, Mum.
Just before we sit down--
- I've got a very
special surprise for you.
- Oh, Mum, I'm
really not hungry.
Please just sit--
- Come out, dear.
- Hey, Harry.
- Prisha's here to watch
the cricket with us.
Meteorologist, single, over 30,
and she thinks it's your idea.
Go on, go on.
- [Commentator]
Jefferson continues.
[crowd cheering]
- [Commentator] Right off
the middle of the bat.
Beautiful strike of the ball--
- I made this saag today.
It's Harpreet's favorite.
Try it.
- I'd love to.
- How's it?
- Fantastic.
- Ah, I don't like to say this
but it's better than
your mum's, yeah?
- Absolutely.
- Mum, don't you want
to watch the cricket?
- No, no, no, I don't
want to be an intrusion.
- [Commentator] Couldn't
ask for better conditions.
Marsh is on the attack.
A bounce and misses it, no no.
- Thanks for inviting me.
- Oh, that's
Thanks for coming.
- How's work?
My mum says you're a
fully-fledged surgeon now.
- He's very successful.
Six figures is all I'm saying.
- I'm so sorry.
- Don't be.
My mum's much worse.
Her favorite dinner activity
is to criticize my life choices.
At least your mum's adoring.
- That's one word for it.
So how's work for you?
You're a meteorologist?
- Yeah.
It's good.
A lot of travel, but I enjoy it.
- Ah, your jobs will not
keep you warm at night.
- At least as a meteorologist
you'd be prepared for the cold.
- [laughs] Such a wit.
Just like his father,
just like his father.
- Prisha, do you actually
like the cricket?
- I was forced to
watch it as a kid
and it honestly
puts me to sleep.
- Do you want to go
out and get a drink?
- [laughs] Of course, of course,
please enjoy your
time out together.
I'll text you the scores.
- Look, Prisha,
you're a lovely girl.
And in another life
you would definitely
be my woman of choice.
But--
- You're seeing a white chick?
- No.
Well, I am seeing someone.
But definitely
not a white chick.
Actually, they are white,
but not so much female.
- You're gay.
- Yes.
That's what I'm trying
to say, thank you.
- I knew a handsome
single doctor
who wasn't a prick was
too good to be true.
- I feel awful for
wasting your time.
- It's okay.
The combined force
of our mothers--
- Oh my God, terrifying.
- Right?
[Harry laughing]
Oh God.
My mum's going to think
this was my fault.
- [Harry] No.
- Oh, she will.
- No, don't worry about that.
I fully intend to
come out to Mum soon.
- Seriously?
[slow music]
- Yes.
- Sorry, just none
of the family friends
have done that before.
They seem to move
overseas and not return.
- I've considered that
on many occasions.
But like you said, Mum loves
me, so she'll find a way.
- I didn't say that.
Sorry, I mean, hopefully yeah.
I hope she's capable of that.
[mid-tempo music]
- This is not at
all a reflection
of your own interior design
skills, Mrs Creighton,
which by the way, I love.
But the problem
is not all buyers
have your refined taste, so--
- This has got
nothing to do with--
- Shoot.
- Please, you're
acting ridiculous.
- I'm so sorry, Mrs Creighton,
I'm going to have
to call you back.
- Could I have a word please?
- [Lachlan] Mel.
- Is everything okay?
- [Mel] I just wanted
to say congratulations.
- Sorry?
- Mel.
- You got there in the end.
- [Ainsley] Where?
- Don't touch me.
My life for the past six
months has been a horror movie
where my husband has been
stalked by a pug-nosed redhead.
- She's not pug-nosed.
- I'm not doing
anything with Lachlan.
- I hope you're
proud of yourself.
- Not really.
I deeply apologize for
my history with Lachlan,
but I can assure you
that I've moved on.
- Says the girl who bought
a whole house with him.
- There's someone else, okay?
There's someone special
and I'm focused on him now.
- How'd you get him,
co-invest in a superyacht?
See you at home.
- [sighs] I am so
sorry about that.
Clearly Mel and I have a
couple of issues right now.
- Right.
- I just was honest with
her about some feelings
I have for someone
else, not you.
- Lachlan, I don't need to know,
and you should probably.
- Okay.
I didn't realize you
were seeing someone.
[slow music]
- Well, now you do.
[rock music]
Where's Ben?
- I think in his room
listening to terrible music.
- Mm-hm, and the others?
- Don't know about Heather.
Don't think she's home.
Harry's at his mother's.
As far as I know I'm
the only one here.
Why don't I conduct
business in my room,
or maybe I need,
I'll have a third
workout in the garage.
- Ben.
- [Ben] Yeah?
- Ben, you in there?
- Yeah.
- Would you mind
if we had a chat?
- Yeah, Ains, no worries.
Just give us a sec, will ya?
[head thudding]
- [Ainsley] I can come back.
- No, it's fine, Ains.
[dog barking]
[Heather grunting]
Sorry, Ains, coming.
Ains, sorry to keep you waiting.
- Could we just,
could I come in?
- Yeah.
Do you want to sit down?
- Yeah, ooh.
- All right.
Ooh.
- Ooh.
So I need to tell you something.
It's a bit uncomfortable
for me, maybe for you too.
Sorry.
- It's all right.
- I know we have some
pretty strict house rules
about not complicating
things with romance.
- Look, I got to
stop you there, Ains.
I've never been
sold on those rules.
- Really?
- Yeah, if something happens,
it happens, you know?
- I agree.
I mean, it's better to
just be honest, right?
- Yeah, totally, totally.
[both laughing]
- Totally.
Which is why I need to tell you
that I have feelings for you.
- Mate, I'm seeing someone.
- I didn't realize.
- Well no, it's only early days.
I mean, we haven't
even told anyone.
But it might be serious.
- Oh wow, I'm sorry.
- No, no, don't apologize.
I mean, if I wasn't, you
know how much I love you,
or how much I care about you.
I mean, any bloke would
be lucky to be with--
- It's okay.
- No.
No, hey, Ains.
Ains, you gotta talk to me.
- It's fine.
- You gotta talk to me.
- I think I just needed
to say it, and now I have.
[slow music]
And I actually feel
much better, lighter.
I think that maybe I just
needed to release it.
Can we not mention
this to anyone?
- [Ben] Yeah.
- Just forget it ever happened.
No but Ains, Ains.
That kind of thing
takes guts and, I mean,
you can do way better than me.
- Oh.
- Yeah, Ains, yeah,
you actually can.
- Thank you.
[Ben sighing]
- You haven't told her.
- There were complications.
A third party was involved.
But there's another
day of the test
and I'm absolutely
going to tell--
- Why don't you just
take the time you need?
Sorry, I just
Look, I've had this before,
an ex who was always on
the brink of coming out.
And I just, I can't,
I can't do it again.
- What, so that's it then?
[slow music]
No, you might struggle
to believe this
but I am going to
tell her, tomorrow.
- And if that happens,
you know where I live.
- I do.
- What you saw earlier.
- So this is happening?
We're talking about this?
- Well, I suppose you
wouldn't believe me
if I told you I'd been
dabbling in parkour?
- What's parkour?
- Something my boys
watch on YouTube.
- Okay, sure.
Let's go with that.
- Look, you were very clear
about the house rules.
No sleeping with housemates--
- I don't give a fuck
about the house rules.
- Well clearly I owe
you an explanation.
- No need for full disclosure.
- Okay.
[quirky music]
[Heather panting]
- I have to tell you something--
- Oh fuck!
- Sorry.
I've been avoiding you a bit.
I think because I know
exactly what you'll say.
But now I just need to hear it.
- Oh God, is this
a Lachlan thing?
What's he done this time?
- [laughs] No.
But it is remarkably
similar territory.
I have feelings for Ben.
Had, have.
I actually backed
myself and told him.
He wasn't interested.
Of course he wasn't.
But yeah.
So I need you to hit me
with it with both barrels.
Come on, I broke the house
rules and I fell again
for a guy who is apparently
in love with someone else.
- What?
Did he say that?
- Mm-hm.
[slow music]
Did you know?
- No.
- In my defense, I did
compress the self-torture
from five years to
well, only a few weeks.
Which shows some
progress, doesn't it?
- Well yeah, that's
definitely progress.
- [Woman] You have
six new messages.
[phone beeping]
- [Manju] Was it a
wonderful night with Prisha?
It was so lov--
[phone beeping]
Please call me.
Prisha has also not
called her mother yet.
[phone beeping]
Harpreet, I did
not get much sleep.
I'll have a sleep now.
[phone beeping]
I cannot sleep.
Harpreet, your father's
smiling down on you.
I can just--
- [Harry] I didn't
give myself a choice.
We were winning the test.
She'd be onto her fourth sherry.
Circumstances would
never be better.
- [Commentator] Going
into the 43rd over.
- Mum, it's just me.
- [Commentator] That's a
six for sure, that's huge.
[Harry sighing]
- Wish me luck, Papaji.
- [Commentator] The second ball
and Dhoni's hit another six.
- Mum.
[slow suspenseful music]
Mum.
[dramatic music]
Mum, can you hear me?
[Manju groaning]
I need an ambulance.
It's my mum, I think
she's had a stroke.
[slow music]
The walls go up
And the walls come down
I've clearly lost
hope come true ♪
There's something inside
It knows my fears
- Is she okay?
- We don't know.
I think I left the
oven on at her house.
She was cooking and I just--
- Don't worry about that,
we'll take care of that.
- Dr. Sethi, your
mother has had a stroke.
It's lucky you found
her when you did.
But we need to do a
number of tests and scans
before we get a true sense
of what her recovery
will look like.
- I don't know what to do.
- Be here, that's
really all you can do.
[slow music]
Do you have any immediate
family you can call to help?
- No, it's just me.
- Okay, we'll update
you as soon as we can.
[birds chirping]
- Hey, have you got a sec?
- Ah, yes, yeah, I'm all yours.
- What I'm about to say
may feel inconsistent
with my recent behavior.
We can't do this anymore.
- Right, this is about Ainsley.
- Look, it's so complicated
I can't even explain
it to myself.
You are,
you'll probably never understand
how much this arrangement
has done for me.
- Look, if this is a version
of mates before dates,
isn't there a right of way,
a first in, first
served type thing?
- Yeah, it's not just that.
- Yeah, I understand.
It's complicated with
Ainsley, I get that.
But don't you think
it's worth it?
- I just don't think I'm
feeling what you're feeling.
[slow music]
- Right.
Really?
- We both knew this
wasn't a long-term thing.
- Hey?
Yeah, I didn't know that.
- Well you do now.
- [Lachlan] Ains.
- Not a good time.
- What's wrong?
- [Ainsley] Nothing.
- Look, if this is about
the mean Mel situation,
I've talked to her.
Well, I've sent her
several messages.
- As hard as it may
be for you to believe,
this has nothing to do
with you or your wife.
- Well then something
is definitely wrong.
- Oh my God.
- Come on, Ains.
We used to be completely
honest with each other.
- Actually, no.
Whatever was going on
with whatever it was,
it was never honesty.
- That's confronting.
- I don't care.
- Well then, can I be completely
honest with you right now?
I lied to you
yesterday, and to Mel.
I don't have feelings
for someone else.
It's you, Ains.
[slow music]
I just keep thinking about
us and what an idiot I was.
I just, I never
knew how you felt.
All these years, I swear,
if you just told me.
And I know I shouldn't
be saying any of this
because you've got another
bloke now and I respect that.
- Good, you should.
Anything else?
Then why are you still here?
[machine beeping]
- Who was that?
- No one, just the others.
They've picked up the key
and they're on the
way to your mum's.
Is there anyone else you want
me to contact, maybe Pete?
- I need you to ease
up on the Pete thing.
- Okay, but it
might be a good idea
just to let him know
what's going on.
He really cares about you.
- Liz, it's not going to happen.
- I know it's been an
unimaginably shitty day.
- Pete doesn't want to be
with anyone who's not out,
which is totally understandable.
But that's not me.
- [Liz] It will be.
- It really might not be,
and that's gotta be okay.
She could die.
I can't be the one to break her.
- Okay, well, I'm
not suggesting--
- If I never tell her,
that's gotta be okay.
- Of course.
[door creaking]
- Dr. Sethi, your mother is
starting to become responsive.
- Mum, Mum, can you hear me?
You're in hospital.
You've had a stroke.
On and on the strain
Beauty from afar
Help is on its way
- You probably don't
remember anything,
but it will start
coming back to you.
[Manju groaning]
Don't speak, it's okay.
Beauty from afar
Help is on its way
I know you love to fall
On and on the strain
Beauty from afar
- You're going to be okay, Mum.
I'm not going anywhere, okay?
I love you, and I'll be
here 100% of the way.
I know you love to fall
I know you love to fall
I know you love
- [Narrator] Next time
on "Five Bedrooms."
Happy Birth
- It's tomorrow, Colin.
- I know that.
- Every time I turn
around, there you are.
- Well, I live here and I'm
currently unemployed, so.
- Maybe you need to lower
your standards and
try a little harder.
- I can't remember
if you're supposed
to swipe left or right.
But I accidentally
matched with Colin.
Oh, you didn't
know he was dating.
- I've decided that what
I want for my birthday
is to pretend it's
not my birthday.
- [All] Surprise!
- If I had told you how I
felt all those years ago,
how would you have reacted?
