The Heights (2019) s01e30 Episode Script

Episode 30

1 Previously on The Heights What do you think? About selling? It has always been the plan.
Let's do it.
I'm going back to England.
I just feel like I should aim for something more.
PAV: You're ashamed of me.
Should we really be doing this? Let's make a baby.
You and Dad are getting a divorce, aren't you? From Embleton.
(ALL CHEER) You know if you stay, you're gonna turn into her.
You really want that? (CHUCKLES) Only a week and he's already got you wrapped around his little finger.
(LAUGHS) So, how big's this place? Ah, I'm not sure, exactly, but it's pretty big.
Plenty of space for a growing boy.
We can grow and sell our own fruit and veg, maybe get some chooks.
How long's this been on the cards? Ah, not long.
But Seb says it's a good time to buy.
Lot of blokes would have run a mile when they found out.
I told Seb everything the first week we met.
He didn't judge me.
It was Seb who encouraged me to come back and face things.
To come and get Patch.
That right? (KNOCK AT DOOR) RENEE: Come in! Oh, hi.
Thanks for taking them.
I just didn't want them to be here when Mark is It's no trouble.
Kat's been pestering me to take her to the zoo for weeks.
- Hey, Mum? - Yeah? Next weekend, after Billie's party, can Kat come over for a sleepover? Yeah, sure, but Billie's party's not for another couple of weeks.
N-no, everyone's talking about it at school.
Oh.
Yeah, you're right.
I'm a week behind.
Alright kiddly-winks, let's go.
OK, love you.
Bye.
Have fun.
Be good.
(WHISPERS) Thank you.
NOAH: See ya.
(DOOR CLOSES) ASH: How'd you go? KAM: We only got half the list.
LAILA: How come? I thought you were going to the second-hand school uniform sale.
Yeah, we did.
Still massively expensive, though.
We got some things, and he's all measured.
Very handsome.
(CHUCKLES) Why do you need a school tie and a house tie? I don't get it.
Yeah, schools like that have "houses".
Yeah, like Gryffindor and Hufflepuff in Harry Potter.
Yeah.
Well, then there's the other stuff too.
You know, first term induction camp, $250.
Geography field trip, $45 Doesn't your scholarship just cover that? Nuh, it's only the fees.
Like, I knew there'd be other costs, but this is insane, man.
Our savings won't even make a dent.
Don't touch your savings.
They only do the second-hand uniform swap once a term.
We have to get the rest now.
I'll make it work.
Yeah, how? We'll, ah, harvest your eyebrows for burn victims.
Hey, I don't know yet OK? But don't worry, you're gonna be in Snuggletooth or Bubblebutt or whatever, trust me.
Alright.
(KNOCK AT DOOR) Mmm! I'm here to save your butt.
About what? Amira's birthday.
What about it? Have you bought her anything yet? Ah no.
Oh, boys! It's your first birthday as a couple.
The fact that you haven't got her anything yet proves that you're gonna blow it.
It's nice to know you've got such faith in me.
What's that? Ah, your dad's cheesecake plate.
Oh.
It was good cake.
He's still not over my mum? Um nah, he'll be right.
I mean, I don't blame him.
- She's amazing.
- Yeah, yeah.
RENEE: So, it's a one-bedder? Yeah, it should tide me over for a while.
Looking at a couple of two-bedders this weekend, which'll be better for the kids.
OK, sounds great.
And you're still OK to pick the kids up from Leonie's? Yes, yeah.
I should finish early today.
I'll see you later, then.
Yeah, OK.
(GENTLE GUITAR MUSIC) When the night comes out I will leave my house alone OK I changed the kegs, so you should be good until you close and I changed the lights in the ladies' bathroom.
And I signed where it said to.
I'm sorry I can't stick around.
- Lottie is - What do you think about this Sebastian bloke? Ana get in your ear too? No.
Why? What's she said? Just that she was worried about them moving too fast.
Aren't you? It's not like they're getting married.
Worse.
They're buying property together.
What's so bad about that? What's so bad about leaving the moola in the bank and waiting a while? (DOOR OPENS) Right, I'm going to whiz past the beach one last time.
Cool.
I'm going to swing by the towers, say goodbye to Shannon.
OK, well then I'll meet you there.
Hazel Make sure you keep him in line.
I will.
(DOOR CLOSES) We made a good team for a while.
(DOOR OPENS) Yeah.
We did.
WATTO: Hope I'm not late, Lord.
Don't make me late! (WEEPS) I'm gonna miss you, Ryan, with your funny clothes and your big broad shoulders.
(CRIES) OK! - (SNIFFS) - Don't be a stranger.
Thanks.
Bye, Mum.
Bye, son.
Let me drown Into myself They grow up so fast, don't they? Into myself Would you have a free drink just to get me over me suffering? (CHUCKLES) Into myself (CRIES) (COUGHS) (DOOR CLOSES) - Mark.
- Hey.
You got anything on next week? I could seriously use some more hours.
Yeah, look I've been meaning to talk to you about that.
I've, um My situation has changed a bit, so I need to make some cutbacks here.
Be doing most of the work myself.
You're sacking me? Oh, look, I'm sorry, mate.
It it's nothing personal.
I just can't afford to keep you on.
What about the money you owe me for the last couple of weeks? Ah, yeah listen, I'm a little light on cash as well.
So what, I've gotta do without 'cause you can't manage your business? Oh easy, mate.
No seriously, I've worked my arse off, Mark, and I expect to get paid.
Well, it's a little more complicated.
How's it more complicated? How? What kind of a man doesn't pay his debts? Please tell me.
I don't have any money! Don't you get it? Look, I've got nothing.
OK? (SIGHS) Look, here.
Here, take that.
I paid 800 bucks for this six months ago.
Come on, it's top of the range.
You'll get a good prize.
Sell it.
Go.
Come on.
Take it.
Sure, mate.
I'm sorry, Ash, mate.
You know, I'm really sorry.
(SOFT GUITAR MUSIC) False Words The things you wrote Down Lost It's time to clear out your emotional closet.
Take steps towards new opportunities.
- (CHUCKLES) - My horoscope.
Oh.
I returned Pav's plate for you.
Are you ever gonna tell me what happened between you two? Oh, it was nothing.
It was more We're just very different.
Well, according to your horoscope, you don't need to worry, because "You are at a crossroads "However, your true destiny will present itself to you in the most surprising way.
" Guess life's all figured out then.
Mm.
Every day Every day Ahh! Oh, sh Ah.
Oh.
I'm going to miss you, little man.
Do you have to go straightaway? Seb's pretty keen to get out of here.
We both are.
What? Nothing.
You say goodbye to Ana? Not yet.
What? Nothing.
That's what I love about this family, always been such great communicators.
(CHUCKLES) You're gonna be a great mum.
Yeah, you've said that before.
I still mean it.
(SIGHS) Reckon I'm gonna have to get some more boxes.
You leave Lottie waiting any longer, she'll leave without you.
All the best, mate.
Ah, thanks.
Now if you need anything, you just call.
I can be on a flight in no time.
I'll keep an eye on 'em.
Make sure she doesn't stuff him up too much.
(CHUCKLES) Take care of yourself.
Yeah, you too.
(CLEARS THROAT) See ya later, grub.
See ya.
(DOOR CLOSES) Ryan? Hey.
I just I-I didn't want our last conversation to be it.
Did you wanna come in? I have to go.
Right.
It's been amazing, hanging out with you again, seriously.
And the pub would be long closed without you, so thanks.
I was glad to help out.
I hope you have a nice life over there.
The both of you.
See you, Ana.
- Bye, Ryan.
- Seems like you've forgotten We're not able to move further Than you ever could have done on your own - (DOOR CLOSES) - Ryan! Going away present.
- Bye.
- Watch where everybody goes When they're alone They never No stop - Listening to the words - - 'Cause they don't know - LOTTIE: Ryan? You all set? Ryan! Ah, yeah.
All set.
Stop acting like you any more human than me Oh, hi Oh.
Ooh, let me take a look.
- (INHALES SHARPLY) - Ooh.
How've you been? Apart from the obvious.
Um, oh, you know not not bad.
How about you? Yeah, not too bad.
- Ah - Ow.
You are gonna need some stitches.
How did you do it? I was chopping garlic.
Guess it's not in my destiny to have risotto for dinner.
Kitchen accident doesn't sound like you.
No, I was a bit distracted.
Ow.
Sorry.
I mean I'm really sorry.
I shouldn't have said the things I said.
I, um, I've just got to go and get some more stuff to get you stitched up.
I would really like to be someone that you could be proud of.
Pav, you are.
OK, well, I'm going to give you some pretty strong painkillers for that.
Awesome.
I don't think you'll be cooking tonight, but I finish in a few hours and I could come by with some takeaway.
That sounds good.
Thank you.
So strange watching her do that.
What? Pull a beer like she's done it a million times.
She has.
All the time I've known her, she's never touched a drop.
All about that clean living.
On a property at the arse end of nowhere, apparently.
Well, you'll have to come visit.
No-one's gonna keep me away from my grandson.
Such a good place for him to grow up.
There's this little creek that runs through the bottom of the property with this old tyre swing.
There's these trees in the small orchard to climb on.
- Got everything, by the sounds of it.
- Yeah.
Just never thought we'd be in the position to own something like it.
Until Shannon came along.
Look, Hazel, I didn't know about Shannon's inheritance until we'd been together for a few months.
On her birthday, I took her to the pub in town and She froze at the door, you know? She couldn't go in.
She explained about this place, about Bill dying, about everything.
I don't know, I guess she just found it really confronting.
ASH: Brand-new.
I'll give you $300.
$300? Are you insane, man? Just This was $800 six months ago.
Ah, $300, take it or leave it.
Come on, man.
$400.
Fine.
Let's do it.
Fill this in.
Hey How much for this? SHANNON: That's me and Ryan done.
You're lucky last.
I think we should hold off for a bit.
(LAUGHS) Why? See if there's a better offer out there.
Didn't your lawyer say that was the best out of all of them? That's above market value.
That's a good deal.
Can you and I have a word? About what? Sure.
No, no, anything you say to me you can say in front of Seb.
You told him about the pub on your birthday.
That was a month ago.
And it was only a few weeks ago that he started pushing you to come back for Patch and the pub.
- Right? - So? Don't you think the timing's a bit convenient? Seb could see I was ready, ready to be a mother for Patch.
Is his name going on the title of this property? We share everything.
Yeah, and how much are you putting in? If you buy this place and in a year's time he gets sick of playing happy families and walks, he takes half your inheritance and Patch's.
That's not gonna happen, Mum.
If you're so sure of that, then what's the harm in waiting? Shannon this is our life that she's playing with.
Please just sign the contracts.
If what you really want is to get out, then don't blow this one chance.
I'm not signing.
Not while he's around.
I'm not sitting here, listening to this.
- Seb, wait! - Shan! Maybe you should just give her a minute, eh? Seb! Can't you see how she controls you? We have a chance at a real future, but it's not here.
I know.
- I'm going home.
- Then then I'll come.
We don't even need the money as long as we have each other.
- I love you - Really? 'Cause you had me wondering in there.
You can't even stand up to your mum.
(STAMMERS) I tried.
If you don't get this pub sold so we can start our life together don't bother comin' back.
Seb! Seb! KAM: I don't understand, man, how did you pay for it all? Told you I'd find a way.
Look, I know I haven't been around lately, but I'm here now.
House tie.
(CHUCKLES) And school tie.
Where's your ring? What, you sold Dad's ring to pay for this? And some other stuff.
It's OK, little brother.
No, no.
No, no, I can't let you do this.
That's the last thing we have of Dad's.
Look, I don't need the ring to remember him.
Besides, you know what he'd say.
He'd say that ring, it was from the past.
This is the future.
(GENTLE GUITAR TUNE) Thank you.
Seriously.
Start right here on the fence, try to fall, I want it all I don't know what it is NOAH: Dad, that's impossible.
MARK: No, no.
No, no, it's not, I'm telling you.
The circular saw was broken.
I had to karate chop the planks into the right lengths, like this.
Hyaa! That's the way it went.
- As if.
- No, it's true.
Mum, Dad reckons he karate chopped all the wood planks at work.
Well, it sounds like your dad has a black belt in fibbing.
Can you please get ready for showers? Dinner's not far off.
- Bye, Dad.
- Yeah, yeah.
See you, guys.
Catch ya.
Are they OK? Yeah, good as gold.
I'd better get going.
Mark? Yeah? Thanks for picking them up.
That's no problem.
(DOOR CLOSES) From the bag, out comes the cap I thought that we could leave it at that You're prowling about now Those things they say between disguises I close my eyes (PATCH FUSSES) Here you go.
Is it is it really that impossible for you to believe that someone can love me? Of course not.
You're you're so bloody miserable in your own life that you have to ruin anyone else's chance of being happy.
Did he show any interest in coming back, coming back for Patch, before he knew you had a share in the pub? - I'm not losing him.
- (PATCH CRIES) Please, just sign, Mum.
I'm your Mum.
I need to protect you.
I can't do it.
Then I'll take him away.
What? Sell the pub and give us our money or you'll never see Patch again.
(CRIES) (LAID-BACK GUITAR TUNE) (CRYING CONTINUES) - So take me back - (SHANNON CRIES) Call my phone I only sit alone at home I wonder why you're not around And thinking about us I'm going through hell right now Hell right now Through hell right, thinking 'bout us I'm going through hell right now Hell right now Through hell right, thinking 'bout us Allow me to cry Thinking 'bout us So now I wait for you again Why couldn't we be more than friends? I wonder why you're not around Been thinking 'bout us I'm going through hell right now Hell right now Through hell right, thinking 'bout us I'm going through hell right now Hell right now Bye.
Thinking 'bout us Allow me to cry Mm-mm I'm thinking 'bout us (KNOCK AT DOOR) - Oh, hey.
- I need a smoke.
Um (CHUCKLES) I'm kind of expecting someone.
Are you OK? I will be.
I just need a smoke.
Is that a good idea? Are you really gonna get on your high horse now? I can pay you for it.
Um do you want to maybe come back later? - We can hang out then - I expected more from you.
You were just gonna sit back and watch Mum raise him.
What are you talking about? You were a good guy, Pav, so I gave you a Get Out of Jail Free card.
I was gonna put him up for adoption and then he'd never have to be the son of a tower junkie and a broken ex-cop.
But I guess there is no escape from this place.
I'm sorry? Patch of course he's your son.
- (PATCH CRIES) - (DOOR OPENS) MICH: Dad.
