WOMAN: Benny Bates is responsible for this.
Has anything like this happened before?
- Out! - Benny, what you doing?
You can't leave me here! Benny!
I've always found I can get what I want if I want it badly enough.
I really bet you can.
I saw him once talking to Ivan Cartwright.
They were pretending to look into a shop window.
And then Ivan handed Bill a package.
I didn't put that in there.
- You are going to jail. - No, please. Please.
What would happen to you if someone caught us here?
To be with a white woman, I'd lose my leadership standing,
lose my privileges.
When Dad was at war, she had an affair.
NEWSREEL: The flames of war at the heart of London.
One of the of the fiercest raids in the German attack on Britain,
a storm of bombs rained down on this proud city.
But they leave it a prouder city still.
And as a new day comes,
the unshakable men and women carry on as before.
The spotters watch the skies,
because down below it's business as usual.
You go and play in the yard, sweetheart, for ten minutes.
Good girl.
Annie! I thought I heard your voice.
- Is Pattie with you? - Yeah.
I enjoyed Saturday night... staying over like that.
She didn't know I was there, did she?
No.
Harry, we didn't...
We didn't use protection.
Right.
I'm sure it'll be OK.
I hope so, because, um...
Well, this is gonna have to stop - you and me.
Us.
Right.
That's great, Annie.
Fantastic news. He's...
...safe, and he's...
...he's coming home.
This bloody war!
Five years, no comfort. Barely the touch of another person.
Annie... No-one could ever blame us.
I lost Angie, you lost Terry.
Or as good as.
We did what we needed to to get through this.
What does that mean, though?
- What does that mean?! - Hey, hey, Annie. It means
we shouldn't feel bad about the feelings we have for each other.
NEWSREEL NARRATOR: Australia.
A great place for families.
MAN: Australia is an exciting new land.
A country in the modern world.
NARRATOR: Create a real home for your family.
A good place to grow.
There's a bright future.
Come over to the sunny side.
MAN: The cost of the journey halfway round the world is £10.
Look for a new start.
NARRATOR: On your way to Australia.
Lovely.
Drop punt.
Ah! Safe hands. Very good.
Have you told him yet?
Love, come home.
You and Mary, you can't... You can't live with Kylie, can you?
So you haven't told him?
No, I haven't.
Mum, I don't want to live with someone I can't trust.
And Dad has a right to know who you really are.
Pattie... Pattie.
Pattie!
Where are you two going in this very nice car?
We are going
- to the Blue Mountains. - Oh.
Robbie says they have to be seen to be believed.
Seen to be believed. My dad lives up there.
It's where I'm from. I thought I'd show Kate my childhood.
I'm envious.
I'd love to go to the mountains. I hear they're absolutely wonderful.
Well, you should come with us.
- You don't mind, do you? - The more the merrier.
Don't be daft. He wants to take you on a special trip. Don't you?
Oh, we'd enjoy the company.
- Really? - Well, I mean, it would be nice.
We've been saying we want to get away for the weekend, but, um,
with Mary and everything...
Oh, we'd get a motel, though. We'd leave you to your own space.
Sure. Uh, we are about to leave, though.
So did you want to check with Terry?
Do you think he'd want to?
- (CLANG) - Argh!
Toilets are still not emptied!
Need me bloody gas mask next time I go in there!
Oh, what a dump!
I think he'll want to, yeah. Yeah, yeah.

TREVOR: They say you're Billy Anderson's wife.
SHEILA: Sheila.
SHEILA: This is John Joseph Walker.
JJ: JJ.
Well, nice as it is to have visitors,
what are you doing here?
You've always maintained your innocence, Trevor.
Always said it wasn't you who stole the money from your employer.
Yes, cos I didn't do it. I was framed.
And who would do that?
Why are you asking me this?
Because we believe you.
You're a young man with family connections to the business.
Why would you steal?
Exactly.
Now my family's disowned me. I brought shame on them.
You've been in here half a year. Plenty of time to think.
Who do you reckon might have taken that money?
There's a situation.
So myself and your husband took money to the bank
- every couple of days. - Yeah.
Then we get attacked.
Next thing is, the money bag turns up in my locker,
but most of the money's gone.
I'm sorry to say this, Mrs Anderson, but your husband knew
about that locker inspection in advance.
The only ones were the foremen, Bill and myself
who knew that information.
So if somebody planted it,
who's the most likely person?
I saw him...
...in the town... having a clandestine meeting...
...where someone handed him a package.
So I need you to look Mrs Anderson right in the eye...
...and swear... may God strike you down...
...that you are totally, 100% innocent.
I swear.
Or may God strike me down.
SHEILA: Don't worry.
We'll do everything we can to get you out of here.
- KATE: Well, there's no snakes yet. - ROBBIE: No snakes.
- No. - No, you'll be fine.
- Still looking, though. - It's all right. Snakes hate noise.
Oh!
- Hey, you all right? - ANNIE: Are you OK, love?
- Yeah. - Are you sure?
- Yeah. Yeah. I'm fine. - What have you done?
Oh, I just tripped.
- Here, here. - Oh, let's see.
- Ooh. - It's just a cut.
- It's fine. - ANNIE: Looks sore.
- TERRY: You have to clean that. - No worries. Always prepared.
Look at this lad - short of nothing!
- May I? - Yeah. Course.
ANNIE: Oh, that's gonna sting.
Ow!
Does it hurt?
No. It's fine, it's fine.
Shall we walk on and leave you to it?
- We'll meet you at the lookout. - Yeah.
- Go to the lookout. - Yeah.
There.
And you're all good.
Thank you.
Kate...
Ever since we pretended we were engaged...
...I've wanted it to be true.
(LAUGHS)
I never thought I'd be lucky enough to be with a woman like you.
Oh!
And I don't want it to end.
Look, I know this is quick, but...
...when you know, you know.
So...
Kate Thorne...
...will you be my fiancee?
Hmm.
Robbie... Um...
- It's OK. - No. No, no.
It's not a no. It's...
- Robbie... - Just forget I said anything, yeah?
Robbie, Robbie, listen. I have feelings for you.
I do. It's just...
I'm only getting used to having a future without Michael.
And... this is huge commitment
before I get back on my feet.
- I'm sorry. - No, no, no, no, no, don't.
Don't apologise.
But it's me. It's me. I...
I-I just...
Let's just forget I said anything.
Yeah?
Have a nice weekend?
Robbie...
Robbie!
(FAINT CHATTER)
Is your dad's far from here?
No. About half a mile.
Oh.
Kate!
They had one room left.
Oh, good. All right. Well, have a lovely evening.
- And you too. - See you tomorrow.
- Thank you.
They're coming to dinner.
- Oh. - The more the merrier.

- Here he is! - G'day, Dad.
Aw!
Dad, um, this is Kate.
- Hi. - Aren't you a picture, young lady?
- Oh. - I'm Roddy.
Roddy and Robbie.
I was going to call him Roddy Junior, but his mother,
God rest her soul, wouldn't allow it, so we compromised.
Come on in and meet Carmel.
Carmel!
They're here!
Robbie Carter, where are you?
Oh! There he is.
- Hello, darling. - Hi, Carmel.
Oh, my word. So you must be Katherine.
- Yeah. - Oh, we've heard so much about you.
So lovely to meet you. Welcome to our home.
Now, I've put you both together. I hope that's all right.
OK. Now, who wants a drink?
I'm going to have a gin and tonic. But don't let that sway you.
You can have whatever you like.
- Um... rum and black, please. - Rum and black. Good.
Coming up. Come through.
- Come on in. - Thank you.
Oh, these are mine. Don't you love them?
(LAUGHTER)
Look.
Carmel thinks she was a koala in a previous life.
I don't think. I know. I can feel it in my waters.
Well, I hope you like eucalyptus,
because that's what she's cooked us for dinner!
Oh, I hope you don't mind, but I invited our friends,
Terry and Annie. They came with us on the trip.
- Absolutely fine. - Do they enjoy a drink?
Yeah, they enjoy one or two, don't they?
Well, what problem could we possibly have?
(LAUGHTER)
(PANTING)
It's nice not having to worry about the kids, eh?
Yeah.
Be like that all the time when we get our own place.
I will get us off that camp.
I know things haven't gone well with Benny,
but I won't keep failing.
Love, you're not a failure.
You saved three people's lives.
That's heroic.
They're lucky you went that day.
Why did you?
Do you like her - Christine?
No.
No, I wouldn't blame you if you did.
But we all have... connections.
I don't.
It was the kids... living in that place...
I felt bad for them.
Yeah.
Whoo!
(ALL EXCLAIM)
(SHOUTS OF ENCOURAGEMENT)
Who can't read?
It's a bit of fun. We're not doing any harm.
Yet. But what if you smash a window?
Who'll be paying for it? You?
Plus, all the yelling and screaming, bothering the residents.
- (SCOFFS) - Bat.
Right, the toilets are overflowing with excrement,
the showers only work when they feel like it,
and you're bothered about a game of rounders!
(CHUCKLES)
Miss Roberts...
Apple doesn't fall far from the tree, does it?
Bat.
And if I don't?
Well, you'd be breaching hostel rules
and you'll be asked to find alternative accommodation.
I'm not standing for this. We have to do something.
- Yeah, I agree. - Me too.
- Yeah. Me three. - Like what?
ALL: Cheers!
There are some cheesy twirl things here if anyone wants a snack,
cos dinner might be a little while.
If I was you, I'd fill up on the snacks. Her cooking is dreadful.
- OTHERS: Aw! - Roddy, what is that?
- Ooh. - God. Don't ask.
Ah! That is my serpent. Do you want to have a go?
Me? No, no, no, I'm tone deaf.
Well, I'll have a go. I always fancied myself as a band man.
RONNIE: Oh, yeah? Come on.
- Go on. - Come on.
Come on.
You OK?
- Not really. - Why?
When we were talking in your hut, Pattie overheard us.
No...
She's calling me a liar and she's saying I need to tell Terry.
No, Annie, you can't.
I mean, what good would it do?
Right, you and Terry are the best couple that I know,
and that will just... It will just tear you apart.
(LOUD TOOTING)
- RONNIE: Yeah, that's it. - RODDY: Bloody hell, Terry!
Dingoes'll think there's a storm coming.
It's not supposed to sound like that, is it?
- Hello! - Roddy Carter, are you having
a party without us?
Robbie's here with some of his mates.
This is Hilary and Mandy.
They live across the road. Mandy and Robbie go way back.
Well, they're your friends, Robbie. Do the bloody intros.
Oh, uh, they're all from England.
- Terry, Annie and Kate. - Hello.
- TERRY: Pleased to meet you.
Are you his girlfriend?
- Oh... - Er, she's a friend.
- Yeah. - Oh.
CARMEL: Come in, come in. Sit down. What do you want to drink?
We don't get many poms in the mountains, do we?
- No. - Tend to stay in the city.
Oh, except for that woman in the library from Leeds.
But she's got a lazy eye, so we don't talk to her.
(LAUGHTER)
I love it up here. It's like paradise.
- Mmm. Yeah. - And, um,
Robbie says you're in some hostel.
Yeah. Um, Galgownie.
- Tin huts and cold showers. - Urgh!
And overflowing dunnies.
- Urgh! - Oh, disgusting.
- What do you do for work, Kate? - I'm a nurse.
Oh, nurse. It's a wonderful profession.
- Yeah. - I wanted Mandy to be a nurse.
I bought her the little outfit. She looked so cute.
But it turns out she can't stand the sight of blood, so...
Makes me vomit.
And I can't stand the sight of vomit.
It makes ME vomit!
Can we not talk about vomit?
It's making Carmel's cooking taste even worse.
Oh!
- What do you do, Mandy? - Oh, I'm a schoolteacher.
Oh, that's a lovely job.
Yeah. Do you have children, Kate?
- No. No. - We do.
We've got a girl and a boy.
- Hmm. - We've just become grandparents,
actually, believe it or not. Our daughter
- had a little girl recently. - Aw!
She must be very young, your daughter?
Yeah, she is.
And it's, you know, not what we'd have chosen,
but baby's here now, isn't she?
Little Mary. We love her, don't we?
Yeah. Our Pattie's doing really well.
Good mums run in the family. I am a lucky man.
- Three lovely ladies in my life. - Aw!
- And an annoying son. - (LAUGHTER)
So she's not married, then, your daughter?
No. The father stayed in England.
Oh, I see.
Well, she has a lot of support, though,
- don't she? - Yeah.
It's not what God intended, though,
- is it? - Mum...
- Oh, well, I think... - He created the Garden of Eden.
And in it he placed a man and a woman.
"Every kingdom divided shall be brought to desolation.
"Every house divided shall not stand."
Why would you say that?
I beg your pardon?
Make them feel bad about their daughter?
You know nothing about their situation.
Does anyone want another drink?
Mandy's father left us when she was five years old
- and she withdrew into herself. - Mum...
No. Children need a strong male presence.
She's got a strong male presence. She's got me.
Oh... (CHUCKLES) Not so strong.
Your daughter deflowered herself.
Oh, for heaven's sake!
What's wrong with her? (CLEARS HER THROAT)
- Come on, let's have a smoke. - Gladly.
Why don't you go and see if Mandy's OK?
Mandy...
Are you OK?
She, er, seems nice.
Your girlfriend.
- Mandy... - I don't "Mandy" me, Robbie.
How am I supposed to feel?
Last time you were here, we were playing footsies
at that table.
Yeah, and that was great. But...
It was only a few months ago.
Now...
I feel silly, because I've been thinking about you.
- And you've been in Sydney... - Mandy...
- ...with... Please don't touch me. - Yeah.
All these years, we've known each other.
How long have you known her?
(SIGHS)
(WHISPERS) I gave myself to you, Robbie.
That's a special thing for me to give - God's eyes looking down.
Mandy, we never said we were...
I mean, it... kind of just happened, didn't it?
Just "happened"?
Robbie, do I mean so little to you...
...that you bring another woman home?
No. Mandy...
I've said don't touch me!
Now, get...
(MANDY SNIFFS)
Oh.
I'm sorry. I feel quite unwell.
- Um, I'm going to go home. - Oh.
- Carmel's cooking strikes again. - Oh!
- Don't be ridiculous. Sit down. - I'm going home.
- I hope you're satisfied. - Me?
(DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES)
Hilary, maybe you should go home too.
I'll say when I go home, little Robby Carter.
If your mother was still alive...
You're not too big for a slap around the legs.
As it so happens, I've lost my appetite.
So thank you, Roddy, Carmel.
But I'll finish my brandy somewhere with a less sour taste around it.
CARMEL: Well, it was quite the entertainment.
- (CHUCKLES) - Who's for a Tom Collins?
(ENGINE OFF)
(CAR DOOR OPENS)
- Hey. - Hey.
- I came to see you earlier. - Where?
The beach hut.
I saw you - dancing with that gub.
I haven't seen you smile like that in a long time.
But you know what people would say if they saw what I saw.
You want any chance of living the life you want,
then this country needs to change.
And you need to be more involved in that change, cousin.
- Talk isn't enough. - So what have you got planned?
We're taking our protest where the white money spends.
- Arika, we could lose everything. - We've already lost everything.
I just want it back.
Aren't you tired of it, Ron?
The way they treat us?
- Where'd you learn to do that? - Me da.
He used to break into stuff all the time back in Ireland.
Come on.
- (LOCK CLICKS) - Yes.
OK. (LAUGHS)
OK. Let's go.
This needs sorting.
(STONE CLATTERS)
(DOOR OPENS)
I'm just going out for a minute, Mother!
He's here.
Let's go.
SHEILA: Where's he gone?
He can't have left.
I dunno. He can't just vanish into the darkness.
Maybe he's taking a dump.
JJ...
He went to the Skinners'.
If you're looking for Bill.
We are. Thank you.
Er... And exactly what are you two up to?
- Nothing. - Nothin'.
Nothing?
(SCOFFS)
- Yep. - Fair enough.
And I saw nothing.
(LAUGHS)
Passed your card round the neighborhood,
so might get you some more work.
- Thanks. - Pleasure.
So, are you gonna hang around this time?
Or are you gonna take off again like a little frightened bird?
Sorry?
Oh, last time you here, you just left.
No goodbye. No nothin'.
Oh, yes. No, I realised I had to...
- ...get the girls. - That's crap!
- Pardon? - It's crap.
You're scared of me, aren't you?
- Scared? - Yeah, that's right. Scared.
The way that I make you feel...
- All right. Right. Now, look... - Don't...
Don't lie to yourself.
There's no-one else here, Bill. It's just me and you.
And we can speak the truth in this room.
JJ...
...if this gets ugly, then let's just... go.
It'll be fine. OK?
Sheila, we've got him.
OK? This proves it. We've won!
(CLATTERING)
Oh!
It's not how it looks.
I think your problems are over.
Sheila, you have to believe me. It's not at all how it looks...
It's exactly how it looks!
(DOOR CLOSES)
(LAUGHS)
Pull that over there. Yep.
(LAUGHTER)
- Hoo! - Got them.
(LAUGHTER)
Fantastic. Well done.
This is brilliant. Right, let's get going.
Oh, we also got this.
- (LAUGHTER) - No?
- For sabotage. - An ax?
Under the cover of darkness.
All right, we got Tuscan yellow. Any takers?
- Oh, yeah. - Pattie, it's yours.
- TERRY: Thanks, Carmel. - ANNIE: Bye.
TERRY: See you, Rodders.
TERRY: Oh! (BREATHES IN)
That night air...
(EXHALES)
I meant what I said, you know. Paradise, this place.
- I could live up here. - Hmm.
How fantastic would it be to bring Mary up in a place like this?
Maybe I could get a serpent.
All right?
Tired?
Just... I'm just shattered.
- Yeah, drunk, more like. - No.
Yes. Maybe a little bit. It's been a very long day.
Go on. I'll carry you.
Behave yourself, you daft bugger!
- Go on, get on. - No!
Go on.
- Come on. - OK. Right. Ready?
- Yep. - One, two, three.
Oh, blimey! I'm glad you didn't have the pudding.
You cheeky sod!
Used to do this with Peter. You remember?
Pretend we were in the Grand National?
Yes, I do. Go on. Giddy up. Go on, then, giddy up.
(AS COMMENTATOR) As they come up to jump five, it's like a bus queue.
They're over, but thundering towards Brecher's now,
every rider's nightmare.
It's What No Sun, followed by housewives favourite Terry's Tache...
- Terry's Tache! - ...with Angel Hill in third!
Here... they... over Brecher's Brook!
But no. What's this? Oh, Terry's Tache is down!
Housewives everywhere will be heartbroken!
- (ANNIE LAUGHS) - Let's hope the jockey's OK.
Three broken limbs.
No! Three broken limbs!
But still looking very attractive as she lies on the floor.
Give me a minute.
Annie, whatever's the matter?
Do you know that ever since we kissed
that first time outside the plaza, I've wanted you to be my man.
You know that, don't you?
Through all the hard times...
...this ring on my finger has meant the world to me.
- You know that, don't you? - Yeah, of course I do, love.
And you wearing that ring has meant the world to me.
(SOBS)
I'm so sorry.
I had an affair...
...during the war.
With Harry Brewis.
I thought you were dead, love.
I thought you were dead.
And he comforted me.
And one thing led to another and...
But it wasn't love.
Not like our love.
People were dying all around us, and I was...
- Ah! - Listen to me.
- Please listen to me. - Oh...
- Listen to me, Terry. - Oh!
I was lonely. I was so lonely, love. And I was scared.
- He was a coward. - No, he wasn't.
He got out of conscription. He was a coward.
- Listen... - He was... You slept with a coward.
I was off fighting,
tied to a wall in a German hellhole.
Listen to me. I made a mistake. I thought...
- You made a mistake? - I thought you were dead!
When did this happen?
When was it?
The start of '45.
'45?
'45... 12 years, Annie.
You've had 12 years. Why...? Why are you telling me now?
Huh?
Uh... Because he's dying?
(TERRY EXHALES)
Isn't he?
- Yes. - Yeah, I read the letter.
- Sorry. - You know what?
I hope he croaks it.
I hope the yellow bastard dies. And good riddance if he does.
- I'm so sorry. - I didn't need to know, Annie!
I know. I'm so sorry.
You know I killed people, don't you?
- I know. - Huh?
I killed people, we did things. It was war!
- I... - I didn't need to know!
Sweetheart, I know. I'm so sorry.
- Go away. - Please, love.
No! Annie...
- No! - Please, love.
No, no.
I didn't need to know.
Terry...
Tell me about your mum.
You must really miss her.
Oh, she was my whole world.
I guess you could say I was a bit of a mama's boy.
I just adored her.
She was such a kind person.
Good heart. You know.
She was funny.
Do you have a picture of her?
Wow. Well, she was very attractive.
Yeah. She was.
She hated the thought of getting old, though,
so at least now... she never will.
She'll stay just like that for all of eternity.
It's funny what stays with you.
She had all these little sayings.
Like what?
"Folks are about as happy as they make their minds up to be."
"Some people look for a beautiful place.
"Others make a place beautiful."
I was such a happy kid...
...because she tried to make sure
that nothing bad ever happened to me.
Then, of course, the worst thing possible happened.
It must have been really hard.
In the morning, she was there making me breakfast.
And then... after school...
...a policeman came round and told us.
Told us she was gone.
Accident on her way home.
I'm so sorry.
It's the first time that I realised that
nothing's really safe.
That just because something's precious...
...doesn't mean it can't be taken away.
But...
I loved every day we had together.
So...
I understand.
When you have something special...
...you make the most of it whilst it's in your life.
(KNOCK ON DOOR)
Sorry to interrupt.
Mandy...
I just... I wanted to apologise for earlier.
I... I feel so silly.
- No. - Oh, no worries.
Yeah, we just want to make sure that you are all right.
Actually, um, I was wondering,
as Kate's a nurse, if, um...
Can I ask your advice on something?
- Yeah, sure. - Right.
Could we... talk alone?
- Oh. - Ah.
(LAUGHS NERVOUSLY)
- Sit down. - Oh. Um...
Hmm.
Is everything OK?
Not really.
It's just, um...
I've been feeling a sickness.
I also get a light-headed feeling.
It's not the first time it's happened.
It passes, but I just want to know
if it's something I should be worried about.
Have you been to the doctor's?
- No. - Do you think I should?
The main reason I'm worried is...
...well, um, I'm with child.
Oh.
Um... How long?
Um... Er, three months.
Three months? Yeah.
OK. Well, um, I mean, they can do tests.
Your blood pressure's probably dropping because of the pregnancy,
and that's absolutely normal in your condition.
OK. That's good to know.
I really appreciate the chat, Kate.
- You're the only person who knows. - Have you not told the father?
- Thank you, Kate. - It's OK.

(SIREN WAILS)
Evening, boss. Get out.
Oh, I got a certificate here.
When I tell you to get out, you get out of your truck!
- All right, I'm out. - Understand?
- Yeah, yeah. - You get it?
- Did I say you can bend down? - No, boss.
Know your problem? You still think this is your country.
(FLIES BUZZ)
Who did this?
Oh, my goodness.
Who did this?!
She's furious.
Patricia Roberts!
(WHISPERS) No, no, no.
Yes, it was me.
No way.
And me.
PETER: And me.
- And me. - And me.
And me.
We all did.
Here you are playing childish games,
when you're a mother with responsibilities.
You know, I've sacrificed a lot to be a mother.
I have. My schooling, my whole future, really.
I mean, I constantly have to watch where I go and who sees me.
But you know what I've realised? I can still have fun.
Fun... messing up my camp.
No. Playing a game of rounders with my friends to keep me sane.
But you wouldn't allow it, Mrs Walker.
That's why we did this.
You brought this on yourself.
You really are like your mother, aren't you?
Strong-willed.
I want every bit of this mess cleaned up.
And then...
...I'll lose the "no game" signs.
Today...
...please.
- (LAUGHTER) - All right. Well done!
All right, all right. Come on.
(KNOCK ON DOOR)
Sorry to bother you. I've just had a call from a man
who asked me to tell you he's getting the train home,
and... he'd like to travel alone.
Right. Thank you.
It's your friend Annie. She's calling from the motel.
Oh.
Thank you.
Annie?
Kate...
I've told him about Harry.
Oh, no. Annie...
I couldn't live with the lies anymore.
(SIGHS) What did he say?
He's going to get the train home.
I'm going to have to follow him.
Can't lose him, Kate. But I think this might break us.
- (SIGHS) - Everything OK?
Well, it's not great.
It's just me and you on the way home.
OK.
- Robbie? - Yeah.
- Can we go back to the mountains? - Yeah.
Hold that door.
All aboard!
(GUARD'S WHISTLE BLOWS)
(TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWS)
Here.
Oh!
Oh, what?!
Wow!
(KATE LAUGHS)
- Look like they go on for ever. - I think they do.
It's so inspiring.
Make you feel like you're part of something bigger, you know.
That you're not alone.
(ROBBIE CHUCKLES)
Robbie...
I've never had a home like yours.
Or a family.
And I've never been loved by anyone so much.
So...
...ask me again.
Ask me again.
Kate Thorne... will you do me the honour of being my wife?
I will.
(KATE LAUGHS)
One second.
She will!
(LAUGHTER)
We should stop on the way back.
Have a celebratory drink, or three.
Definitely.
Although after last night, I'm not sure how much more I can handle.
You know Carmel was sick?
I heard her in the night!
Yeah, it's hardly surprising, given how much she was going.
Yeah. Luckily, Hilary didn't see,
otherwise there'd be vomit everywhere.
Mind you...
...she's going to have to get used to that.
How come?
I'm not supposed to say.
Mandy's pregnant.
(CHUCKLES) What?
Yeah, she told me last night. That's why she feels unwell.
She hasn't even told the father of the baby yet.
(CAR DOOR OPENS)
(CAR DOOR CLOSES)
- Come on. - (KATE PATS SEAT)
If we're gonna make it back before dark.
Come on.
(KEYS JANGLE)
Mm...
(ENGINE STARTS)
(TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWS)
Is he mine?
- What? - Peter. Is he mine?
I love the bones of that lad.
There's been times over the years where I've looked at him
and I've wondered where he came from.
So I'm giving you this one chance to tell me the truth.
But it's the truth I want. No more lies.
Is my boy mine?
Yes.
So... Pattie's mine and Peter's mine?
Yes.
And I'm yours.
Come here, you.
Did you miss us?
- Oh! - Not really.
- Mm-hm! - (LAUGHS)
- Take those bags in for me? - Mm-hm.
Good lad.
I told him.
Your dad. (CLEARS HER THROAT)
And do you know what he said to me?
"Why did you tell me?"
Truth is always better than lies.
No. Life is not that simple, sweetheart.
It's just not.
We do what we have to do to get through difficult times.
And I think when she's your age,
she'll see that, too.
BENNY: I've come for the keys and I've come for the rent.
You have to give me the rent. You owe me money.
You can't live somewhere and not pay rent. I'm not a charity.
I'll need the key.
You have to pay your rent. You owe me money.
- I understand that, but I can't... - Do I look like a charity?
Hey! What the hell's going on?
- Keep out of it. - What's he saying?
He's wanting money and my house keys.
- Leave her alone. - Keep out of it, Terry. This is...
(PEOPLE EXCLAIM)
ANNIE: Terry!
Terry, Terry, stop!
Stop it! Terry! Stop it! Stop!
Bad decision, Terry.
Very bad decision.
Come on.
