Five Bedrooms (2019) s04e02 Episode Script

Previously on Five Bedrooms
You might want to know that Ben
is currently on a date.
- So?
- With Mel.
I'm just not really available, emotionally.
Who said anything
about emotions?
There's no other guy?
Definitely not another guy.
Then why did Harry
lead me to believe
- that there was someone else?
- That is out of line.
Maybe it's time we looked at
moving you into a nursing home.
I'm afraid there's
some cause for concern
in your mother's
medical results.
They found cancer.
LIZ: In the week
of Manju's diagnosis,
I became a faultless friend.
HARRY: ..call Geetha Mami
once you're in surgery.
- Have you spoken to her?
- MANJU: No, I haven't.
Why would you call her?
HARRY: Well, have you
spoken to the neighbours?
MANJU: Go tell the whole world.
HARRY: I'm not going to
tell the whole world.
I just think maybe
the neighbours
should know that you won't
I thought if I accrued
enough brownie points,
it might soften the blow
HARRY: I'm going to
be busy
LIZ: ..for when he found out
what I've done to him.
HARRY: ..with you
as much as possible.
You can't pre-approve the nurses
that are going to be coming
in and out of your room.
MANJU: You're a doctor.
Can't you do that?
I don't work at
this this hospital!
You know, they have
their own shifts.
They've got different people
in charge.
Surely you can
pull some strings.
HARRY: What strings
do you want me to pull?
This is nice and soft,
in case you need something
a bit warm.
No. Just pack my pretty nightie.
I don't think I'll be there
that long, to be cold.
We don't know how long
you'll be there, Mum.
MANJU: It'll just be
a day or two. I know it.
If you had faith in me,
you would know too.
HARRY: It's got nothing
to do with faith.
The oncologist was very clear.
He needs to lose a few kilos.
You're having
a radical hysterectomy, Mum.
It's MAJOR surgery.
My womb has been useless
for many years, Harpreet.
Y You won't be able to
live on your own
when you get out of hospital.
So? You move back in
to care for me.
Elizabeth, what are you
doing? - I'm helping.
That shampoo is only for show.
I haven't washed my own hair
in three decades.
Does she have to come
to hospital with us?
- Well, not really.
- I just really want to help.
I promise I won't
ask any questions.
Try not to speak at all.
Um, I might go and grab a
coffee and give you two a minute.
Uh Go get something to eat
as well.
You are going to be
absolutely fine.
I know it.
She is suffocating.
She just has a lot on her mind.
Who hasn't, huh?
She's having some problems
with her marriage.
Of course.
No man can endure
such distances for so long.
Well, actually, Stuart's
back in Melbourne.
I see.
Then it's the old demons
rising up again.
What old demons?
She is insecure
because he's much more
attractive than her.
That is so offensive, Mum.
The truth often is.
Well, it's also
just plain wrong.
(WHISPERS) They're having
problems because
she cheated on him.
(GASPS SOFTLY)
She would not dare.
- She did.
- Oh, she did?
- Hi.
- My God, I can't be
Hi. Mrs Sethi?
Ready to head down to theatre?
Of course. Thank you.
Um, can I just get you to
hop out of the way?
Yeah, of course. I'm so
sorry. - No, no. All good.
I'll be here the entire time.
Pull yourself together, Harpreet.
I love you, Mom.
My son.
Feeling guilty because
he tried to put me in a home.
Oh!
- I managed to escape.
- Did you?
How did you manage to do that?
MANJU: It wasn't easy.
(LIFT DINGS, INDISTINC
CHATTER)
(INDISTINCT CONVERSATION
CONTINUES)
(SIGHS)
She's just got
absolutely no idea
that she could actually die.
Maybe that's a good thing?
I'm not going to
pretend to understand
what you're going through,
but I am here for all of it.
You don't have to
handle this alone.
And you don't have to
move back in with her.
(EXHALES) I do.
She could just move in with us.
(LAUGHS)
- OK. What is going on?
- What?
You've just been
relentlessly helpful.
Well, maybe because I love you.
What happened with Stuart?
Oh. You've got enough
on your plate.
Come on, tell me right now.
Um
Well, it
actually went really well.
Oh.
Um It was just so good
to see him.
And
we talked and talked and
we stopped talking, a lot.
(LAUGHS)
So it didn't freak him out
that you'd been with a woman?
No.
Oh, please don't tell me
it turned him on.
Oh, God, no. No, no, no.
- You didn't tell him?
- He wasn't ready, so I lied.
About which bit?
What, you told him
it was someone else?
Ugh, You threw someone
under a bus.
I th threw you under a bus.
You told him
you had sex with me?
I told him that you were
angry with me,
so you let him think that
I had sex with someone else.
So he thinks
I deliberately misled him?
- He might.
- Like I made a calculated
choice to make him suffer?
No. No.
I told him that you were drunk.
She was in quite profound
denial, even by her standards.
And I've I've never seen
Harry this worried.
Poor fella.
What can we do?
Well, she's going to need
a lot of care,
especially when she
gets out of hospital.
Right
I think that
she should move in here,
temporarily, with us.
And put her where, exactly?
She She's going to
need her own space,
and peace and quiet
and round-the-clock care.
And I am happy
to provide that care.
HEATHER: You're not even
vaguely qualified.
I have aged care experience.
You've never wiped an old arse
in your life.
I am ready to learn!
If it means more of Manju's
cooking, I'm in.
I I don't think that
she'll be cooking, Sim,
but I do take your vote.
Thank you.
- Heath
- Liz, I'd be happy to
have her here,
but Heath's got a point.
HEATHER: See?
I'm not the only asshole.
Yes, you are.
Well, you two
could take my room.
And then Manju could have
the granny flat.
- No worries.
- Where will you stay?
I can stay with Stuart.
How could you care for Manju
if you were at Stuart's?
I'll help as much as I can, but
work's a bit tricky right now.
No, Ains, don't worry about it.
I have this under control.
Heather, if you could just
take me through a few things.
Oh, for Christ's sake,
she's not even here yet,
and you're dumping her on me.
- Where's Ben?
- He's out with Mel, I think.
Well, what if he's not into
the idea of Manju being here?
- As if he would mind.
- Have you met Ben?
Ooh, Sim, I wonder whether
you and Ben
could maybe make
some adjustments to the space?
OK. What are you thinking?
'Cause I've got a bit on,
so if you want to knock
a wall or something
- It's a bed.
- Done.
Fine!
But every one of you
is doing a first aid course.
- I was gonna suggest
that anyway.
- My arse, you were.
I knew you'd all be
well, most of you
would be on board and the
rest of us
could bully you into it.
Now I just have to
get Harry on board.
I thought this was
coming from Harry.
Un-fucking-believable.
Yeah.
STUART: Well, I mean,
I just hope
he appreciates you being there
for him.
- LIZ: Oh, I'm sure he does.
- (CUTLERY CLATTERS)
LIZ: This is all delicious.
Thank you.
It's, um, take away I
put into a bowl.
LIZ: You put it into a bowl beautifully.
And there's so much of it,
I might bring some of it back
for Harry.
Really? It's, um
not quite as good
the next day.
You're seriously
going back there tonight?
What? He can't even
make his own dinner now?
It's his mum.
Look
I know it might sound petty,
with Manju being in hospital
but I'm still
pissed off with him.
- Well, that's understandable.
- Well, aren't you?
He deliberately tried to
sabotage our marriage.
He didn't really.
I know you want to
be there for him.
I'm not saying you can't be,
but he's not a child, Liz.
You don't have to be there
all the time.
I'm sorry. If that
makes me a prick
for wanting you to stay,
then I'm a prick
who just happens to
want to wake up
with his wife.
You are not a prick.
Oh, sometimes I'm a prick.
- Not this time.
- Not this time.
(BABY CRIES)
LACHLAN: Hey, Ains!
Oh, thank goodness you're here.
I was just wondering if you
could look after Star for, like,
15, 20 minutes, tops.
- I don't really have time.
- Yeah, I know.
And I'm sorry, but I can't
get hold of Mel.
She's not answering her phone.
I really need to
go and suck up to Brendon.
He's got the shits with me
because I parked in his car
spot again.
Please?
Look, I'll be in and out.
10 minutes, I swear to God.
(BABBLES TO STARLETTE)
Yes!
Say hi. (BABBLES)
You better be back in 15.
I will be. Thank you.
Thank you so much. Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
(BABBLES) Bye!
(BABBLES)
(LAUGHS) What was that?
(BABBLES HESITANTLY)
(BOTH LAUGH)
Aw
SIMMO: Here we come. That's it.
Oh! Yeah, yeah, yeah.
HEATHER: Alright.
It's really easy.
- It's all wedging up.
- Sit down. I'll show you.
- On the carpet.
- Yeah.
- (HEATHER CONTINUES)
- Do we need the rug?
- No, I might just
- really close to the body.
No, no. I OK.
Alright. Now put your arms
un Not YOUR arms.
- I put my arms under, OK?
- Yep, yep.
Grab both your hands
and then you lift.
- (LIZ GRUNTS)
- You can use your legs.
OK? One, two, three, lift.
- Oh, wow!
- See? It's really easy.
OK? Alright,
now you try that on me.
- OK.
- OK, bend your knees.
Get closer.
Put both arms
under my arms. Under.
Under, yep, yep.
OK. Grab, and hold your hands.
OK. Alright.
Now, you're a belt,
you're a human belt.
- Yep.
- Too tight.
- Sorry.
- OK.
This is the front line. You
stuff this up and people die.
- Don't tell me that!
- MEL: She's not stretching
far enough.
I'm trying.
- Why are you even here?
- Calm your farm.
All right, now, this is it.
There's no turning back, OK?
On one, two, three, and lift.
- Oh!
- Oh, sh
Oh, Christ's sake, I weigh less
than some toddlers.
- OK, OK.
- OK, try again.
One, two, three, and lift.
Nah, she doesn't have
the upper body.
HEATHER: You can do this. OK.
One, two, three.
- Lift.
- (GRUNTS LOUDLY)
OK. Alright.
OK. Now, that was the easy bit.
Now you got to get my pants
down and put me on the toilet.
OK. - Get it out so you can
sort of get your head around
the design.
Oi, fellas. Beer o'clock?
- Oh, it's got to be close.
- Oh, I don't know.
We've still got a fair bit
to do here, I think.
Oh, come on.
I'll drive, you shout.
Come on, mate.
You can't say no to that.
Ah, yeah, alright.
Only if we're in and out.
- Is that your room?
- Yeah.
- You gonna show me?
- No, no.
Don't go in there.
It's a mess.
Don't you need to put that
away?
This is where I keep it.
(FAINTLY) Ugh
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
Do you get any rest?
How is she?
She's still in recovery.
They couldn't get it all,
and it's already spread.
Oh, Harry
She's going to need
a lot of chemo, and
there's no guarantee it'll
work.
I've already spoken
with the others,
and they're all
completely on board
with the idea of
Manju moving in.
There's no way she'll agree.
She might surprise you.
And what if
I don't want her there?
We've already bought the bed.
(SIGHS)
- (SPORT PLAYS ON tv)
- Play on, play on!
AINSLEY: Oh, my goodness,
you are so gorgeous!
(STARLETTE BABBLES)
What have you got there?
(INDISTINCT CONVERSATION)
SIMMO: Come on, Kingy.
COMMENTATOR: Goes to him
anyway!
- He's out for a
- (CROWD CHEERS)
- COMMENTATOR: Beautiful.
- SIMMO: here we go.
- He's on.
- (YAWNS)
We need this one, Kingy.
Come on.
- Oh, he's
- Oh!
(ALL CHEER)
OK, darling
SIMMO: Heath, pull up a pew.
Just keep pounding it inside 50.
Straight down
the big boy's throat.
What was that?
Pissweak.
That is hard to watch.
That's brutal.
You are so beautiful.
Yes, you are so beautiful!
Ah, Ains.
Could you just not
compliment her looks?
I wanted to understand her
value beyond her physical beauty.
Oh, I see. Um
You are so clever and strong,
aren't you?
Yes, you are.
MANJU: Where did
you get it from?
Well, it's from a new place,
very upmarket.
Geetha recommended it.
And what's that supposed to be?
- That is the gobi.
- Ugh.
Put the lid back on. Quickly.
That
- That's the signature dish.
- Uh-huh?
Stop fussing, Harpreet,
and sit down.
Sit down.
I know it's bad news.
Your face is puffy.
Just tell me, Harpreet.
Um, they couldn't remove
all of the tumour.
It was too risky.
And it's already spread
to your stomach
and your lymph nodes.
We're looking at a combination
of radio and chemo.
I will not have chemotherapy.
Well, I know it's
a lot to think about
- No, it's not.
- We We don't have to
decide now.
Harpreet, you're not
listening to me.
There is no 'we'.
It is only me.
And I will not do it.
You don't really
have a choice, Mum.
This isn't something
you can just will away.
If you don't have chemo,
you will die.
Then I will die.
- (STARLETTE BABBLES)
- SIMMO: Jeez, it hurts.
(SIGHS) They all hurt.
- (STARLETTE BABBLES)
- Oh!
AINSLEY: Are you trying to
tee him up with the block?
- That's nice.
- (BABBLES)
AINSLEY: Yeah.
- Hey, um
- Yeah?
Do you have a hoodie
I could borrow?
I'm just feeling a bit chill.
Yeah, of course.
(STARLETTE BABBLES)
Oh. What's this?
What's what?
Why'd you close the door for?
Come on.
First one won't take long.
- There you go.
- Ta.
Mate, we've covered this.
- Did we?
- Yes. Couple of times now.
- I don't remember.
- I think you do remember.
- What if I don't?
- Oh, God
We're gonna miss
all the post-match stuff.
(INDISTINCT)
We should probably kiss
first. - Holy shit.
(GROANS)
Sorry.
OK.
Oh! Ow.
Oh, shit! Shit!
Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry
Got your foot.
Oi I didn't just
tread on your foot, did I?
- No, mate.
- Cheeky bugger.
Where should that go?
What do you think? On there.
I think so too.
Oh, you can move this
out of the way.
Oopsie daisy.
And back on there?
HARRY: Are we getting ahead
of ourselves?
We're being thoughtful.
And organised.
Do you think there's something
she'd like in particular?
- A favourite scarf, or?
- She just doesn't care.
That's the bottom line.
She plays
the fucking martyr card
like butter wouldn't melt.
She used to say she'd cut off
her own arm
if it would take my pain away.
And (BREATHES SHAKILY)
it was all utter bullshit.
I'm just going to grab
a mix of colours and textures.
Oh!
What?
They're probably not even hers.
Who else would have
put them there?
And even if they are,
they've been there for so long
she's forgotten they exist.
There's no way they're hers.
She's not that good an actor.
Where's the stroke stuff?
On top.
- Oh!
- (BELL JANGLES)
This could come in handy.
Imagine what she would do
if I refused to do chemo.
No, I've got no leverage at all.
How can I convince her?
I'm not sure that you can,
or that you should.
Are you fucking kidding me?
It is her decision, Harry,
even if it's not the one that
you want her to make.
You're hitting me with
philosophical bullshit
right now?
Sorry?
What?
- What?
- What is it?
Wow. She really can act.
There are more.
HEATHER: Oi.
Yeah?
Ains is not
your fucking babysitter.
I thought she'd be happy
out there.
Starlette's not just
any baby, Ben.
She's Evie's half sister.
I didn't even think about that.
She's an adorable reminder
of everything Ains lost.
(SIGHS)
Look, I know you'd
You would never hurt her
on purpose
I'm such a fucking idiot!
God damn it.
Like, I've had my head
so far up my arse with
footy and Mel and
I should say something. But
Ah, Ains.
Is Mel still here?
Um
Should be, yeah.
- Could I get you to?
- Yes!
Someone's got a little present
in their pants.
Ah, that's a little surprise
for Mum, isn't it?
- Yeah!
- Hey.
Ains, I'm so sorry.
I'm such an idiot.
- AINSLEY: Bye, darling.
- BEN: Alright.
- See youse. Sorry Ains.
- Bye.
- (BEN SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY)
- (STARLETTE FUSSES)
I don't need you
to speak for me.
Fair enough.
I don't have a problem
looking after Starlet.
In fact, I love it.
I love her.
But if you have a problem
with Mel being here,
I mean, that's
completely understandable.
- I'd be jealous.
- I'm not jealous.
- Really?
- It's not about me.
Mm-hm.
I saw you stuck with that kid.
- She fucking knows
- Don't.
Don't do it, Heath.
I'm not saying that you're
using my stillborn child as an excuse,
not consciously,
but I am asking you
to leave me out of it.
(FOOTSTEPS RECEDE)
- HARRY: This is a mistake.
- LIZ: It is a gamble, yes.
Just promise me you will not
mention the cigarettes.
I don't know if I can sit on it.
Yes, you can. At least
until we get her settled in.
MANJU: Why have we stopped?
Oh. Uh, we're here, Mum.
Why are we here?
Liz, would you like to explain
to Mum why we're here?
I would love to.
Um We thought it might be
easier for you to recover here.
So you've deceived me yet again.
- What did I tell you?
- Take me home.
We just want to make sure that
you're getting the right care.
And if you're here,
then Harry can go to work
knowing that one of us
can be with you at all times.
You can't be bothered to
look after me by yourself?
M Manju, it was my idea
to bring you here.
We've set up the Airbnb.
It's self-contained.
How many new ways
will you find to punish me?
OK. Mum, just come inside
and have a look.
And if you hate it, we can
- I hate it.
- OK.
Don't touch.
I'm not touching you.
I'll called the police.
Where's Where's my phone?
- Where's my phone?
- Oh, sorry.
Well, don't give her the phone!
This is elder abuse, huh?
Is everything OK?
Hi. Hi, darling.
I just had major surgery.
Well, that's not possible.
You're looking so well.
- Thank you.
- (GRUNTS SOFTLY)
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
Do you like the bed?
Is it comfy?
I shall not be here long.
Well, as long as you are,
if you need anything
- (RINGS BELL)
- Stuart
Would you mind getting me
a glass of water, please?
- Well, I can get that.
- No, no. Of course.
Thanks.
LIZ: I'll just pop this
on this side.
Stuart.
That was really
above and beyond.
Mum's been through so much
in the last few days, and I
I really appreciate
you being so kind.
Yep. No worries.
(LIZ SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY)
(SIGHS)
OK, he's clearly
very angry with me.
Oh, shh! No, he's not.
He just looked like he
wanted to punch me in the face.
He would never do that.
He knows how angry
that would make me.
So, what's the big picture
here?
You're just never going to
tell him the truth?
And it doesn't bother you that
he and I will never
be OK again?
Does it bother you?
I never thought
your relationship with him
was that important to you.
I just just just sit on
it for a little while,
for the sake of my marriage.
Oh, my God.
You're as bad as she is.
Who?
There we go, Manju.
You are such an angel.
Oh, it's nothing, really.
Are you still close
with your own mother?
Ah, yes, I am.
She's an incredible woman.
- She's very lucky to have you.
- Not sure I'd go that far.
Elizabeth is even luckier.
You must be very secure
in your masculinity.
I think I am.
Very few men can get past
their wives cheating on them.
It is a credit to you.
MEL: Mate, get out of town.
You have no idea
what you're talking about.
BEN: I do. I heard it
on the radio.
You put your money
where your mouth is.
MEL: Mate, 50 bucks says that
they will make the grand
Hey, Stu! Long time no see.
Welcome home.
Yeah. Hi, Ben.
Um Mel, this is Stu,
Lizzie's husband, Stu.
Mel's a a mate of mine.
- I'm a bit more than
a mate now.
- Oh, I don't know.
Sorry, aren't you
Lachlan's wife?
Legally, sure, but haven't
let him near me in months.
Oh, my God.
Was it you?
Hey? Was what me?
Did you fuck my wife?
Y Yeah. But that was I
thought you already knew that.
Mate, no, I didn't.
Ah
Shit. This is
Uh, this is really awkward.
- You sly dog.
- No, mate, no.
She didn't even take her bra
off. It was over that quick.
Oh, sorry. I
You didn't know that.
But it was happened ages ago.
It was like before we moved to
the other place.
What?
Are you going?
LIZ: Stuart?
Stuart, would you stop?
Why didn't you just
I don't know, perhaps tell me
when I landed.
I had every intention,
but when I saw you,
- I just felt sick at
- Just tell me who it was.
Oh, for fuck's sake.
I know him, don't I?
- No.
- Ben, right?
You've always had a thing
for him, haven't you?
Please don't tell me
it was Travis. Please don't.
It was Geri.
Geri-Geri.
No it wasn't.
You had sex with Geri?
Once.
How did you?
You don't even
You're not
What the fuck is wrong with
you?
I'm sorry.
(CONTINUES PULLING HANDLE)
(STARTS ENGINE)
Look who's feeling well enough
to get out of bed already!
Oh!
MANJU: Do not infantilize me.
I've been through enough.
- And she's back.
- HARRY: She never left.
'She' is the cat's mother.
Oh, hey, Manju.
Have you lost weight?
Oh, yes, I have. Plenty.
- You look good.
- Thanks.
She's got cancer, Mel.
I know that.
You are so indelicate, Harpreet.
Well, I'm sorry, Mum, but
That's not your news to share.
You know, my second cousin
got cancer last year. Beat it.
Nothing but garlic
and papaya juice.
MANJU: With no chemo?
MEL: Yeah.
Got to be raw, though.
Whole clove every day -
boom - cancer gone.
And you've personally read this
in actual, verified studies
- in medical journals?
- No, on socials. Yeah.
And I know heaps of people
in the wellness industry.
It's all about holistic healing.
They're super professional.
I'll ping their details to Hazza.
Yeah, OK. Thanks for that, Mel.
I mean, why wouldn't you want
to look at all your options?
Oh, absolutely.
You must google everything
there is to know
- about garlic and papaya.
- Mum!
Is it so inconceivable to you
that you don't know everything?
Hubris comes before
a fall, Harpreet.
It's pride.
I rest my case.
I need to retire to my room.
Heather is not your maid.
I prefer to go with Heather.
(WHINES) Oh
- I don't want you to take me.
- I don't care.
You and I need to have
a serious chat, Mum,
just the two of us.
Don't speak to me that way.
How dare you?
How long have you been smoking?
I beg your pardon?
You told me you gave up
20 years ago.
And I did.
These were
in your sewing drawer.
They are not mine.
You've just had major surgery,
Mum! You could have died!
Come back when you're more calm.
- You didn't even
tell the doctors?
- Elizabeth!
You know they might not have
put you under if they'd known.
Elizabeth! Elizabeth!
Where is she?
I know you're there.
- I can smell you.
- You were asked specifically!
I checked your chart and it
said you were a non-smoker.
Because I don't smoke.
But we found seven cartons
in your sewing room.
Is everything OK?
MANJU: I'm in no mood
for your theatrics.
HARRY: How do you explain
all of this?
Because I'm
a spectacular entertainer.
Do you actually want to die?
Don't be a hypocrite.
I know you been eating beef
behind my back for years.
- Oh, my God, Mum.
- (CONTINUES RINGING BELL)
I'm not well. I must rest.
Get out now, or I'm going to
shove this bell up your arse.
Do you actually need anything?
No, thank you.
(BELL JANGLES)
(KNOCK AT DOOR)
Can I come in?
Fire away.
Why'd you take me back?
I don't understand.
At the beginning of all of this,
when I came to you
with my tail between my legs,
trying to make things right
between us,
why the hell
did you take me back?
Because you said that
you changed
and that you were sorry,
and I believed you.
Did you actually forgive me, though?
- Or was this all
just to get back at me?
- Are you being serious?
Yeah, 'cause I'm thinking
that this was just dumb
and we've just been
wasting each other's time.
I don't feel that way.
Stuart, I know that
I've hurt you
It's not even about It's not
about the cheating, OK?
(LAUGHS) It's actually not.
It's about the lies.
And the fact that you
haven't been happy for so long.
What's the point
of us being together
if I don't even make you happy?
It's not your fault.
I don't know how know how
to make myself happy.
Ugh
(EXHALES)
I still love you.
Yeah, and I love you, too.
But that's not enough.
(CREAKING, BANGING)
What are you doing?
I'm just
I want to be
close enough to hear Manju.
You don't have to do that.
I can hear her from my room,
with the door closed.
Please let me help.
(EXHALES)
(BELL RINGS)
You took 43 seconds to get here.
What if it was an emergency?
- I'll work on it.
- Yeah.
Mmm! And I've got a very bitter
taste in my mouth.
I need something sweet.
(BELL RINGS)
Yeah?
I did not ring the bell.
(BELL RINGS)
Elizabeth.
- Elizabeth
- I'm here.
I've got an itch on my leg,
or my foot.
(GROANS)
(MANJU SIGHS)
Lower, lower, lower.
Not that low.
Mmm.
(SIGHS)
Your face looks
more strange than usual.
Do you not sleep well?
Not really, no.
Why?
Oh, it's just
A few different reasons.
Am I to blame?
No. It's just
I think my marriage
might be ending.
Really?
Well
You were playing with fire.
Sorry?
Don't act coy with me.
I know you've been cheating
on your husband.
I can't imagine you seducing
a man more attractive
than Stuart.
He must be a very special man.
It was actually
a very special woman.
And it cost me a friendship,
and I regret it deeply.
You're not a lesbian.
No, I'm not.
How will he ever forgive you?
Well
It appears that he can't.
This
This right here is exactly why
I don't want you to
give advice to my son.
You're hurting me.
Oh, sorry.
(BELL RINGS)
Mmm.
(BELL RINGS)
(BELL RINGS)
I need to pee, very badly.
Oh.
OK. Yes.
Um
OK. So we need to
I have to roll you over.
- Uh-huh.
- Um. Count of three
OK? OK.
So, one, two, three
- (GROANS SOFTLY)
- Yeah. OK.
And now I'm going to slide you
on the count of three, alright?
One, two, three.
- Oof!
- Yes!
OK, OK. OK.
OK, OK, OK.
I'm a belt. I am a human belt.
OK. Alright.
So, OK
Can you put your arms around
me?
I'm not comfortable with
that proximity,
knowing your lady tinkering.
(WHISPERS) OK. No, no.
No, you've got to
put your arms around me.
Thank you.
OK.
Alright. I am a human belt.
Bent knees.
Lock hands. Hoist.
You don't know
what you're doing.
Oh, God. What did I do
to deserve this?
You're too weak!
- Go get Harpreet.
- No, no, no, no.
Don't you give up on me.
We're so close.
Oh, I can't wait.
OK. Human belt.
Bend knees, lock hands, hoist.
One, two, three.
- Ah!
- Yes!
BOTH: Oh!
It's too late.
(SOBS SOFTLY)
It's OK.
You don't want to end up like
this, Elizabeth, all alone.
You're not.
Or with your son's
lonely friend.
You know
the numbness you spoke of?
It'll pass.
Don't throw your marriage away
so easily.
Your husband flew
across the world for you.
My husband did not even
say good morning to me.
Are you warm enough?
Maybe it's time we
got you back into bed.
Not yet.
Can I get you anything?
You can get me a cigarette.
Manju!
There is no way I can do that.
Please don't ask me to.
You offered to get me anything.
Anything but that.
The cancer is not in my lungs.
Not really the point.
What is the point?
No. Harry would
never forgive me.
How will he know?
I won't tell him.
No, I'm sorry. I can't do it.
You WON'T do it, huh?
I will get you a cigarette
if you agree to doing chemo.
You're not that kind of
a person, Elizabeth,
to blackmail an old, sick lady.
Perhaps you can get me
two cigarettes a day,
and if you get caught,
you will say it was your idea.
One a day.
Next time on five bedrooms
Hi, Cheryl. Everything OK?
Des left Ainsley
all our savings.
- His savings.
- 750 K?
I think it's very clear
that this will
does not reflect
Des's true wishes.
- Could you not stay at Ed's
- Not going to work.
- Spend most nights there.
- No, not most nights.
Is it weird that
you've picked your ex-husband
in your hour of need?
Heather and Ed
are in serious strife.
