00:00Previously on Satisfaction.
00:03Guess it's time to stop wishing for things to be different, Dad.
00:07I know you want me to do something with my life,
00:09but I know I never will while I'm part of yours.
00:12How much did we drink last night?
00:15You got room in there for one more?
00:19She's my daughter.
00:21You have no business being anywhere near there.
00:24Jesus, I did not for one minute think she might be in there.
00:27You bloody well should have thought.
00:29I am genuinely interested in you.
00:34I am exceptionally interested in you.
00:40I get too involved with people.
00:42I get caught up in their lives and then sucked into their problems.
00:45I need to learn to keep my distance emotionally.
00:47My work requires sensitivity and listening,
00:52and a big part of me wants to listen and wants to help.
00:55It's a hard habit to break. I know that one.
00:59Mistress Natalie, I love you.
01:03I love you too, Betty.
01:05If anybody rings, tell them we're giving up drinking.
01:09That might be a good idea, Lauren.
01:11I'd be suspicious and jealous and...
01:13I can't even think of how to...
01:15You're getting way ahead of yourself.
01:16No, I'm not. I've made a mistake. I'm sorry.
01:19You're a prostitute. Sorry.
01:22You got rid of the boyfriend yet?
01:24Yep, I did that.
01:25Now I just have to keep him away so he won't tell her the truth.
01:28How are you going to do that?
01:29I don't know. I'll think of something.
01:31My mum has no idea, so it'll be easy.
01:58Mmm.
01:59Mmm.
02:27Mum!
02:30Are you going to get that or what?
02:35Oh, um, look, I got this woman passed out at the back of my cab,
02:38but you don't know it, do you?
02:42Um...
02:44SHE LAUGHS
02:47Um...
02:49SHE LAUGHS
02:58Immerse yourself in me
03:01In bliss and ecstasy
03:04Play in your games of passion
03:10Naked seduction
03:13Breathless emotion
03:16Sea of love and sadness
03:21Want you
03:28Satisfied
03:31Satisfied
03:35I want you
03:41Satisfied
03:43Embrace me
04:03Mum.
04:08Mum.
04:10Katie, don't.
04:12Give me another half hour.
04:14The police are here.
04:15They want to talk to you.
04:21What do they want?
04:22I don't know.
04:23But you should brush your teeth before you come out.
04:25Your breath's feral.
04:31Hi.
04:32Sorry to wake you up.
04:33It's all right.
04:34I wake nine.
04:35I'm Detective Bramble.
04:36This is Detective Knox.
04:38We need to ask you some questions about a red Renault.
04:41Rego TJH419.
04:46What about it?
04:47Your car, right?
04:49And at the moment it's...
04:51In a parking station in the city.
04:54Flinders Lane.
04:58Isn't it?
04:59It's being towed from the middle of a floral clock on St Kilda Road.
05:04When did you last drive it?
05:06Uh...
05:09Last night I drove into the city and...
05:12I had a function to go to.
05:14I had a couple of wines.
05:17I took a cab home.
05:20So there's a whole lot of procedure that kicks in from here.
05:23Mm-hmm.
05:25All good?
05:26All good.
05:32It'll be good to get that money back today.
05:35For what?
05:36For the taxi.
05:37I'll give it to you before I go to work.
05:40Ah, caffeine, yum.
05:43Maybe I should wait.
05:45If I have another one before the meeting I'll get all dangly.
05:50You remember I'm having the meeting here today, right?
05:54I asked you yesterday.
05:55You nodded, you smiled.
05:57I took them as positive signals.
05:59Someone stole Mum's car.
06:01What? You're kidding.
06:03Probably just joyriders.
06:10I'm in the shower.
06:33Fuck.
07:04And so our hunger for security becomes a need to control things.
07:10And we mask this as being helpful.
07:14Maybe this is something we can all be on the lookout for this coming week.
07:17Thanks, Angela.
07:18Yeah, thanks.
07:22Sorry, uh...
07:23Ah, it's fine, we're just tying things up.
07:25Our next meeting is at Larissa's house, so I'll see you there.
07:30You really don't have to do this.
07:33Unless you really want to.
07:35Not really.
07:36I'm probably just looking for an excuse to be the last to leave.
07:39So maybe I should just be brave and ask.
07:42Is there any chance of us getting together this week?
07:46Do you know what I'd do for a living?
07:49What?
07:50I don't know.
07:51I don't know.
07:52I don't know.
07:53I don't know.
07:54I don't know.
07:55I don't know.
07:56I don't know.
07:57Do you know what I'd do for a living?
08:00Angela mentioned it while we were making the deal, yeah.
08:03Oh, that was good of her.
08:05So what's the answer?
08:08It still depends.
08:10On?
08:11On whether the idea of getting together came before or after Angela decided to share my employment details.
08:19Does it matter?
08:21Well, maybe you're one of those guys that thinks sex workers just need someone to save them.
08:27Can't say I gave it a lot of thought before today.
08:38I'm there most nights, but you can ring to make a booking.
08:41You're going to make me pay to see you?
08:44Seriously?
08:45Seriously.
08:47I expected her to have second thoughts, but...
08:52Amy?
08:53Huh?
08:54Who?
08:55Ruby.
08:59Are you sending or receiving bad news?
09:02What makes you think it's bad news?
09:04Because you've been staring at it like it's ticking.
09:07I don't know.
09:08I don't know.
09:10I don't know.
09:11I don't know.
09:12I don't know.
09:13I don't know.
09:14I don't know.
09:15I don't know.
09:22What's in it?
09:23Um, I think it's my last four uni results.
09:27And they need to be good or I'm not going to qualify for post-grad funding.
09:30Right.
09:32Can you open it?
09:34Okay.
09:43Post-grad's kind of like one big nerd camp anyway, isn't it?
09:47Was I even close?
09:48It's all D's.
09:50Ah!
09:51Thanks for the distinction, you dick!
09:53Yeah!
09:54I know!
09:55I know!
09:57I'm actually a genius!
09:58Yes!
09:59Come on, I want to buy you a drink to celebrate.
10:01Okay, good idea.
10:02You know men hate smart chicks, don't you?
10:04Do I look like I care?
10:06Maybe.
10:08Mel?
10:10Wow.
10:11Come here!
10:17What are you doing here?
10:18I got in a couple of hours ago.
10:20Why didn't you tell me?
10:21I wouldn't be surprised if I told you, would it?
10:23Hey, Amy.
10:24Hi, Mel.
10:25What are you doing back?
10:27Flying visit.
10:28Is this one too much?
10:32Um, I'll leave you guys to it.
10:34Okay.
10:42Hey.
10:43It's alright.
10:44He doesn't bite.
10:47She's part of your gig.
10:48Bit of au pair, some rich Arab's kid.
10:51You're not from the Middle East, are you?
10:53No.
10:54She's from the Philippines.
10:56And she's here with me.
10:59What do you mean she's with you?
11:01I adopted her.
11:04Whoa, Mel.
11:06Jeez.
11:07What, you're in duty free and you can't choose between
11:11cheap scotch and a baby?
11:15This one's such a comedian, isn't he?
11:17Well, come on.
11:18He hasn't said hello yet.
11:26Hello there, sweetheart.
11:28What's your name, huh?
11:30Her traditional name's Long.
11:32It's hard to pronounce.
11:34It's, um, not for English speakers.
11:36The agency suggested that I give her an English accent name.
11:39Hmm.
11:40And what did you choose?
11:41Oh, I haven't decided yet.
11:43You know, it's just nothing seems right.
11:45Yeah.
11:48Yeah, okay.
11:49It's time for us to go.
11:51Could I have your keys?
11:52Yeah, sure.
11:56Okay.
11:58We'll see you back at home.
12:00Yeah.
12:01Okay.
12:02Go.
12:09Hey, little rabbit.
12:10It's me.
12:11You might not be up yet.
12:13I'll try again later.
12:15Oh, Dad.
12:16Just in too good of a mood to talk to you.
12:19Next message.
12:20Me again, love.
12:22Just wanted to say I hope you did well on your exams.
12:25Your results come back today.
12:27Don't really doubt it, though.
12:29Such a smart cookie.
12:33Anyway, it's just there's something I wanted to talk to you about.
12:36This week would be good if you could give me a buzz.
12:39This week would be good because the mortgage is due?
12:43Amy, you've got a booking?
12:56Some manager's born with a gift.
12:59I'm sure with most of them you just can't wait for it to be over.
13:08Don't hold back, Amy.
13:10If you need to scream, you let it out.
13:13Yeah.
13:18Could you please make some sound?
13:20Oh.
13:22I'm serious, love.
13:24I'm serious, love.
13:25That's my thing.
13:26Hearing you moan is what gets me there.
13:29I'd really appreciate it.
13:31Okay, alright.
13:32Yeah.
13:35I want to hear you enjoy it.
13:37Ow!
13:38Jose, don't do that.
13:40That's good, that's good.
13:42Jose!
13:44You give me a love bite, mate, and I'm warning you.
13:47Ow!
13:49Ow!
13:50Shit!
13:51Jesus Christ!
13:53I'm bleeding.
13:54He was having trouble playing by the rules.
13:57Sounds like he was in good company.
13:59The guy thinks he's the cunnilingus champion of the world.
14:02He pays a lot of money to be able to think that.
14:05Maybe.
14:06But he didn't pay to put love bites on my thighs.
14:09I asked him to stop, and he didn't.
14:11And I think I remember you selling me that one of the precious 2-3-2 rules
14:14was that we get to decide what we will and won't do.
14:17And the alarm button is for when clients are not respecting that decision.
14:21He doesn't seem to remember selling you that idea as well.
14:24He wants an apology.
14:26It's not going to happen.
14:28He could charge you with assault, Amy.
14:30I think an apology is getting off lightly.
14:33And what if I don't agree? Huh?
14:35What if I think you're talking total shit?
14:38Well, then it's a short walk to the door.
14:40Would you want me to just walk through?
14:42Nah.
14:43If you want me to leave, you've got to grow some balls and sack me.
14:49Done.
14:50You can pick up your pay in the morning.
15:21Ha, ha, ha.
15:28Hey guys, it's me.
15:30I'm just ringing around to invite a few select people over tomorrow afternoon.
15:33Wanted to celebrate Mel's baby.
15:36Bring something to whack on the barbie, something to pour in a glass.
15:39See ya.
15:40Mum.
15:42Are you having some sort of issue with the phone?
15:44No, I was just...
15:46Because Detective Bramble called again.
15:48Three times now.
15:49I'm starting to think you don't like him.
15:52That's my...
15:54Look, I've got to go to work.
15:57If he calls again, tell him...
16:00Tell him I'll ring him in the morning.
16:05Sleep, sleep, go to sleep.
16:09Humming
16:15With all the hand jobs I've given, you'd think this would be a piece of...
16:18Hey, Mel, Mel.
16:19Piece of cake.
16:21You think I'm doing such a bad job you want to take over?
16:24No.
16:31She's asleep.
16:32Yeah.
16:33I'll open the champagne.
16:35Not for me.
16:36I thought we were going to catch up.
16:37Shut up.
16:38I haven't had more than three hours sleep in a row all week.
16:40The only catch up I'm doing is with the inside of my eyelids and a doona.
16:43Now go.
16:50Are you sure you're okay?
16:52I'm around if you want to have a talk.
16:53Are you on some kind of retainer?
16:56Do you get some kind of therapy bonus points if you get some new victims along?
17:01Lauren.
17:03I can't do this.
17:06Everything okay?
17:07Fine.
17:08Really? You don't think she seems a bit off kilter?
17:11No, it's nothing a few good nights sleep won't fix.
17:15If there's something more I need to know...
17:17Nah, don't you believe me.
17:20Someone's asking for you.
17:29And then my dad passed away.
17:31And it felt like a whole cloud had been lifted.
17:34So I switched across to law the next year instead.
17:37Really?
17:38Yeah, it was something I've always been passionate about.
17:42I'm the first to admit my ego is out of control.
17:45But I reeled it in and everything...
17:46Paul.
17:47What?
17:49It's okay just to be here.
17:51I know, I just want to tell you everything.
17:53You don't have to say anything.
17:55I know, but I just...
17:56Paul.
17:57I just want to...
17:58Please, shut up.
18:05Paul.
18:17Is that something that happens all the time with you?
18:19What?
18:21Sharing your love story.
18:24Only with people I like.
18:28Is that something that happens all the time with you?
18:31What?
18:34The avoidance.
18:38Only with people that have paid to have sex with me.
18:41Sure that's true.
18:46This might come as a bit of a shock, but...
18:48You don't get all of me just because you swiped your credit card.
18:51Well, that bit makes sense.
18:54I'm just wondering if anyone gets it all.
19:00Home time, I think.
19:02This has been fun, hasn't it?
19:05Sure.
19:13Lauren.
19:14Oh, hi.
19:15I tried to call you, but I've had no response.
19:17Maybe we should...
19:19I'm sorry I haven't called. Everything's been hectic.
19:24Can I get you something to drink?
19:25No, look, I just wanted to tell you that we had no luck at the parking station.
19:30But St Kilda Road has a dozen cameras running 24-7.
19:35And there's some footage with you in it, hailing a cab.
19:39Pretty close to where we found your car.
19:43Look, it'll be worth your while talking to a lawyer before things get out of hand.
20:01Thanks.
20:21Do you know any good lawyers?
20:24Weren't there one or two helping you with the divorce?
20:28There were, but I need an opinion that's not going to leg back to Phil.
20:32I had sex with one today.
20:34Crank's in the sack, but whether he's any good at his job...
20:39Can I get his number?
20:42Is everything alright?
20:43Yeah.
20:46It's all good.
20:58I know, I know, I know, I know.
21:02What's your name, huh?
21:06We should give her another ten minutes' sleep.
21:08I couldn't sleep anyway.
21:10See, your Uncle Sean's not so bad, is he?
21:13He's pretty cool.
21:15He's a good guy.
21:16He's a good guy.
21:17He's a good guy.
21:18He's a good guy.
21:19He's a good guy.
21:20He's a good guy.
21:21He's a good guy.
21:22He's a good guy.
21:23He's a good guy.
21:24He's not so bad, is he?
21:25He's pretty cool.
21:38Sean!
21:40Sean!
21:45Oh my God.
21:48What are you doing?
21:49Oh!
21:52Shh, shh, shh.
21:55What?
21:56I didn't know where she was.
21:58Well, she's here.
21:59I know that now.
22:01I got a fright.
22:03Okay.
22:04Shh, come on.
22:05Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
22:08Tea?
22:09Coffee?
22:11Psychotherapy?
22:12Shh, shh.
22:16You know, I don't know what came over me.
22:20This is seriously her name?
22:22Yeah.
22:24Jesus, Mary and Joseph.
22:26No, it's, I became richer or something.
22:31Maybe it was the menopause.
22:34Or the medication.
22:37Ag-ger-in-er.
22:41I stopped over on the way.
22:43I saw all these kids.
22:45I met her and we just...
22:48I don't know, she seemed to like me.
22:51And I just went to see how the thing would run.
22:54If, if I was to ever think about it at some point in the future.
22:59She was all set to go with this Danish couple and that fell through.
23:03And a week later the agency called me and said,
23:06she's ready for you to pick her up.
23:09You're just waiting there.
23:10Everything had been sorted.
23:13And a part of me didn't want to say no.
23:17I just didn't want to ignore that.
23:20Sean, does anything about me scream mummy to you?
23:24It doesn't, does it?
23:26Hey, come on.
23:28So you're not going to be a cookie baker, alright?
23:31But she's going to learn other things.
23:33She's going to be strong.
23:35Independent.
23:37Funny, sometimes.
23:40Discerning about shoes.
23:41Oh, you are just such a comfort.
23:44Glad I can be of some service.
23:47You know, you could help me by cancelling this thing this afternoon.
23:50Why?
23:51Well, because I don't want all these people here seeing me messing everything up.
23:55I mean...
23:56Hey, come on.
23:57Can I just say this one thing, okay?
23:59These people are your friends.
24:01And maybe they'll be interested in giving you some support.
24:05Hmm?
24:06I'm getting a full time nanny when I get back.
24:09I bet.
24:14Can you please...
24:17Mm-mm.
24:18Come on.
24:20You're going to be very good at this.
24:22You're just a little bit scared.
24:37If you're here to pick up your pay, you'll have to come back in an hour.
24:42Alright.
24:43I'll wait.
24:46Okay.
24:51Did you always handle the money side of things?
24:55I mean, here or did someone else do it?
24:58I haven't shortchanged anyone yet, Amy.
25:00I'm not about to start with you.
25:02No.
25:03I just heard you're in the business with your dad and I wondered what that was like.
25:08I need to make a few calls.
25:09Maybe you should wait in the bar.
25:12Look, what happened yesterday...
25:15I'm in this situation with my dad and uh...
25:18Jose wore it.
25:21What kind of situation?
25:22He...
25:23He hits me up for money.
25:26Yeah.
25:27So uh...
25:28Probably just bad timing and...
25:31I'm sorry.
25:33I don't need the apology.
25:35Alright.
25:36I'll apologise to the Tung Fu Master too if it means I get my job back.
25:41What's wrong with your dad that he needs to ask you for money?
25:46I don't know.
25:47He just can't seem to get his shit together.
25:50And you continually bailing him out?
25:52That's helping him get his shit together?
25:54That's rhetorical, right?
25:57Look, it's not really my business what you do with your money
25:59but if every time your dad asks for his cut and you flip out and thump a client...
26:04It's just on the employment front.
26:06Is there an answer in there?
26:07Yep, my answer is I'm not sure yet.
26:11You know, I heard you might cut me some slack on this because it's a personal problem.
26:17I did cut you some slack.
26:20I'll let you know when I've made my decision.
26:31You get someone on a good day, you could end up with community service, a good behaviour bond.
26:36And on a bad day?
26:39You could be looking at a custodial sentence.
26:41We just need to make sure we tell the right story.
26:44So we're going to need references.
26:46Accounts of the emotional distress you've been under without your husband and the kids.
26:49What about 232?
26:52Well your association might come up anyway.
26:54I'd prefer not to deliver that gen for free.
26:56Should I stop working?
26:58Well morally sex work is a problem with the courts.
27:01But you come away with a charge, Lauren, you'll be ditching 232 for good anyway.
27:06And you won't have a choice.
27:07Legislation doesn't allow owners to have any criminal convictions.
27:12But look, we get our story right, you'll be able to call this a close shave.
27:17So I'd like you to make a diary of events for me, as you remember them.
27:20And then we'll get together again in a couple of days.
27:24Sorry, I'm just, I'm on my way to work.
27:28Well you need a lift?
27:30You're ready now, I can give you one.
27:31I don't want you to go out of your way.
27:34No, I'm going that way anyway.
27:37Okay.
27:48Tess, I just want you to look at me.
27:51Please.
27:53Could you?
28:03Paul, is everything okay back there?
28:07Not really.
28:08No?
28:10Anything I can do?
28:14I just want you to look at me.
28:17Really? Is that all?
28:20Really.
28:22Oh.
28:24Oh.
28:25Oh.
28:26Oh.
28:28Oh.
28:35Amy, can you please take that?
28:40Hey, here she is.
28:42I thought you were going to stand us up for clients.
28:44Not likely.
28:45Good.
28:46Hello.
28:47Hello.
28:50And Lauren, jibbity chop chop chop.
28:55Lauren?
28:59I'm sorry.
29:01Lauren, what is it?
29:06I drove my car.
29:08I drove my car when I had too much to drink and now I'm in trouble with the police.
29:13You can't seriously be tearing up over that?
29:16Oh, come on, Lauren.
29:17Aren't you being a bit over dramatic?
29:19We've all been bailed out by the flashing blue lights at some point or other.
29:22Mm.
29:24Really?
29:25Yes.
29:26Am I the only one living on the edge here or?
29:28Yeah.
29:30I was just...
29:32I was thinking maybe it's a sign I drink too much.
29:36Oh, for God's sake.
29:38We all drink too much.
29:39Oh, Lauren, you are such a good girl.
29:41But really, I don't think this is the kind of stuff that you're going to get sent to hell for.
29:44No.
29:45And come on, how many times has one of your best friends get to outsmart the stalk?
29:49Mm.
29:53All right, just the one.
29:54Yeah, good.
29:56Cheers.
29:57Cheers.
29:58Ladies.
30:00Your Mum left some stuff at my place.
30:02She did?
30:03Yeah.
30:04I'm gonna go and put it in my car.
30:05I'll be back in an hour.
30:06And this is all yours, isn't it?
30:08Well, it's all yours.
30:10Thanks very much.
30:11Hey, and don't forget.
30:13You're always welcome to come back.
30:14Well, I'll see you later.
30:15Bye.
30:16Bye, Daddy.
30:17Bye.
30:18You'll forget about me.
30:19I'll be back.
30:20I'll be back.
30:21Right, Mom?
30:22All right.
30:23You're the best.
30:24I've got six million dollars.
30:25You'll never forget that.
30:26Right.
30:27Right.
30:28place. What happened to the car? I don't know. Is she okay? She looks okay.
30:44What happened to you to make you so... Fucked up. It's not clear yet.
30:52Alright. She's got her mobile.
30:58We should probably ring her. Yep.
31:13You're gorgeous, aren't you? Yes, she is, aren't you sweetheart?
31:18What's her name again? Show me. It's a tragic collision of consonants, Lauren.
31:22Lord. Oh, you're kidding. That's an alphabet. Well, I just want to use a few letters from
31:28her real name. That way she's holding on to her roots. What about naggy?
31:35She's not a horse, Sean. Rainy.
31:40I just think that might be a bit cruel, given she comes from a country where it floods.
31:44You might have to rethink the rule about the letters, you know.
31:47What about angels? Angels.
31:58I like it. Okay, more champagne. My baby has a name.
32:09And we've finished this one already. My shout.
32:12Lauren, we don't need any more. Probably not.
32:22Oh, she's gorgeous. She's an absolute princess.
32:34Nat? No, no. I'm going back to work. Thank you.
32:39Hey, should I sign up for unemployment yet or? If you want me to consider giving your job back,
32:45you're going to have to sort this stuff out with your father. What's he got to do with my job?
32:49Well, I think that you should get him to come down to pick up his money from work.
32:54You want my dad to come into work? Tomorrow afternoon.
32:59No, Nat, I'm not- Your choice.
33:19Okay.
33:49So,
34:19Mom? Mom? Mom, are you all right?
34:32Okay.
34:39Katie, stop. I need you to stop.
34:43Katie, I'm in trouble. I need your help.
34:57So, you're a drunk?
34:59Probably. I am. I'm sorry.
35:10Is it because Dad left?
35:15You all lived.
35:17I lied about John.
35:20Why?
35:23To fuck you up.
35:26To fuck me up?
35:32Well, I don't know if I'm going to do it, but I'm going to fuck you up anyway.
35:38You're not going to fuck me up, are you?
35:42No.
35:54You confessed to the drink driving. You're stuffed.
35:57Look, I'm advising you to admit to the blackout,
36:01and then it's up to the prosecutor to prove the rest.
36:03And the chances of them doing that are?
36:06They'll want to come after you. They'll pull out all stops.
36:09So why not just cut to the chase?
36:12Because I blacked out for a reason, Paul. I was pissed.
36:42She's not depressed or taking any weird kind of drugs or anything.
36:45Not that I know of.
36:48What about you?
36:50Oh, I haven't been depressed or taking any weird kinds of drugs either.
36:53Doesn't always guarantee lucid thinking.
36:56Are you going somewhere with this?
36:59I could.
37:00But?
37:01It might push things over the edge.
37:03Go on, live dangerously.
37:07Your ex, the married one.
37:10I'll take it back. Live timidly.
37:13So tell me, a married man messes you up, you start doing sex work.
37:20It's not that simple.
37:22It's a job where you see dozens of men who won't threaten you with commitment.
37:27Are you finished?
37:31Yeah. Anyway, I'm going to go now.
37:36And you have my card.
37:37If you decide you want to commit one day.
37:44Bye.
37:46Bye.
38:00Amy, there's someone to see you in the bar.
38:07Hi.
38:09Hey.
38:10Amy, Natalie or someone. Are you all right?
38:14I'm fine.
38:16Right. Because I thought from the message you must have been sick.
38:20No, I'm not sick. Take a seat.
38:28Do you want something to drink?
38:29No. I just wanted to see if you...
38:33You don't have to worry. It's complimentary. All part of the experience.
38:46What do you think they're thinking, Dad?
38:52They're wondering how much it costs to have sex with me.
38:59And that's kind of what you do to me too, Dad.
39:01Every time you ask me for money.
39:08I wasn't.
39:12Can't say I blame you though for thinking that.
39:17All the times I've sponged off you.
39:20So you weren't calling to ask me for more money?
39:23No.
39:26No, I'm fine. I, um, I take it on my work.
39:32Yeah.
39:34When I was in Nusa, I met someone.
39:41Huh.
39:42She's coming down on Monday to stay for a bit.
39:46Well, good to see you can get it together when you've got a decent enough reason.
39:51I thought you'd be happy.
39:54Someone else around less leaning on you.
40:02Look, um, the reason I was ringing was to
40:11see if you wanted to come around for a roast next week.
40:31You okay?
40:32Yeah.
40:35Um, seeing as I've got my gear on, I'm ready to start work again.
40:38Um, if that's all right with you.
41:02Is that lawyer going to help you?
41:06Probably.
41:09Yes.
41:11I don't want you worrying.
41:14What are you going to do about the drinking?
41:18I'm going to work really hard and I'm going to stop.
41:24Are you angry with me?
41:29Yes.
41:32I'm angry with you.
41:47John's coming over.
41:49Why?
41:50I asked him to.
41:52I rang and apologized.
41:57Okay.
42:02So what happens now?
42:04Well, I've got a lot to sort out.
42:11I'm going to ask Kate if she'll go back early to her dad's.
42:16I'm not used to her the way I am.
42:22You know, Lauren, you put so much pressure on yourself to make everything right.
42:29If you stop that, you might not need to drink.
42:35I've got a lot to think about, I know.
42:38I want to get back to who I was before everything else happened.
42:44Well, if you need to talk.
42:47Thanks.
42:48I'm pretty good with mess.
42:50I don't want to be your mess.
42:52Well, you can't do this on your own.
42:55I think I have to.
42:59For now.
43:02I probably should go.
43:11So you keep in touch.
43:15Promise?
43:16I promise.
43:29Oh, she's finally asleep.
43:32What are you doing?
43:33Looking for a ticket.
43:35Oh, yeah? Find one?
43:37Not the one I want yet.
43:39See, the one I want is on the seat next to you guys.
43:42I could be silly, couldn't I?
43:43Because babies suck on planes, don't they?
43:45What are you talking about?
43:46You're not coming with us.
43:47Yeah.
43:48Sean, no.
43:50You're not putting your life on hold just because I'm not coping.
43:53I'm not putting my life on hold.
43:55I'm going to take a break, all right?
43:57Just not be a hooker for a little while.
43:58Just be a little old me.
44:00What I want to do with my free time is spend it with my new niece.
44:08And I probably want to interview her potential nanny.
44:12Make sure she's got nice legs.
44:13Big set of encyclopedias.
44:15You're so 14 sometimes.
44:17I know.
44:18It's great, isn't it?
44:22What can I do?
44:23Confiscate your passport.
44:25It'll probably only be a month or two.
44:31Wow.
44:31You're going to miss me.
44:34It's nice.
44:35You don't overplay it, Sean.
44:36No, it is.
44:37It's really nice.
44:40It'll be a month, two, max, I'd say.
44:44Who are you trying to convince?
44:45You or me?
44:48I don't know yet.
44:51I guess you don't know how things are going to go until you get there.
44:56You're up to something, aren't you?
44:59Maybe.
45:00Bernie's asked me to go away for the weekend.
45:03Drive down the Great Ocean Road.
45:05You guys getting serious?
45:06No, but we'll soon find out if we've got anything else in common.
45:10Well, if you want to impress him, I suggest taking some fishing hooks.
45:15I'll see you for drinks later.
45:17Yeah.
45:25So, just get your lawyer to keep me up to date.
45:33I'm away for the weekend.
45:35And you want me here?
45:36To keep an eye on the place, yes.
45:38Just stay away from the bar.
45:41But I'll have my mobile on me if you need anything.
45:45I've asked them all to watch me.
45:47You'll be all right.
45:52What did she say?
45:54She said if I get charged, we'll worry about it then.
45:57There's no reason to jump the gun.
45:59Oh, good.
46:01Otherwise, we'd all have to go on strike.
46:04Okay, who's for a drink?
46:06My little family.
46:08Let's not drink.
46:09Oh, bullshit.
46:11Come on, you're not going into a convent or anything.
46:14You're going to be here with us in the real world.
46:20Nat.
46:20Nat.
46:22So, we're off then.
46:24Okay, bye.
46:25Uh...
46:27Introduction?
46:29This is Bernie.
46:31The girls.
46:33And you know, Sean.
46:34Hi, Bernie.
46:37I don't think I'll be here when you get back, Nat.
46:39So, goodbye.
46:42Goodbye.
46:44Anybody else leaving that I should know about?
46:47No.
46:49Oh, we might need a few extra girls, just in case.
46:51Maybe a dominatrix.
46:53Anyone in mind?
46:55Possibly.
46:58Hey, Bernie.
47:00Good luck.
47:02Let's go then.
47:12You know what, Nat?
47:14This place saved my life.
47:16Yeah?
47:24Me too.
47:46So...
48:17So...
48:36So...
48:46So...
