Bloom

Good friends.

- Cheers. - Yes, cheers.

- Lovely. - Yes, come on!

This is your night.

No, Jenny. Haven't you heard enough of me for one day?

- We want a speech, love. - Alright. Fine.

As the way-too-lucky recipient of this old-age award...

Lifetime achievement award.

Oh, whatever! I have one person to thank.

Me.

Well, of course. Who else?

Honestly, though,

A, I'm bloody lucky to still have a job

and B, everything - and I mean everything -

the silliness, the lovely trips, the joys, the sorrows -

none of it would mean anything without my favourite person.

My morning, my day.

My night, my rock, my Ray.

This is your lifetime achievement.

We all want more time.

More love.

More life.

And it's what connects us - our human desires.

Whoo!

It's what consumes us.

This... time.

And I get that.

I understand that.

- Because it's easy. - Whoo!

Yeah!

Get down!

And it's all we can see. What's right in front of us.

Get down! Stop it!

The bird in the hand. More wealth. More possessions.

More luxurious island holidays.

But it is a trap to believe in the here and now.

Because this is just a blip. A test.

A trial.

And only then

will we be rewarded with eternal life.

Millions and billions of infinite days,

just waiting for us

in the glory of His kingdom.

It's the promise our creator has given us.

But you only get that miracle...

that ultimate prize,

if you are at one with God.

And I know it's not always easy.

Trust me. I know.

And we are constantly tempted -

by the devil, by vices and sin.

- At every turn. - And who created sin?

Sorry?

He created everything.

Including Adam, who committed the original sin.

So... it's God's fault.

I mean, He's responsible. I mean... shouldn't He be accountable?

I'm not here to judge. I'm just sayin'.

That's the devil, Donnie.

Yeah but he's a fallen angel.

That God also created!

So God... created sin!

Glad we cleared that up. Hallelujah!

Oh, god.

Oh!

- Looked a lot better in the photographs. - Perfect!

Fresh start. OK.

No! Hey, hey. Wait a minute. I've got it. No.

- Oh! - I've got it all.

- You're welcome. - That's...

- This one? - Yeah, come on. Load me up.

- There. Saddle up. - Yeah. We're... all good.

I've got this.

- Mum... - I know. It's a pain.

I promised his parents we'd look after him while they're overseas.

It won't be for long.

Is it because of the cigarettes?

Monique gave them to me.

- I would never have smoked them... - Honey, no!

I'm not punishing you.

I'm helping us.

I just forgot what is most important and that is you and me together, OK?

And I know it's hard to understand but...

I'm saving our lives.

Excuse me.

Father.

- Hi. - Hi.

Shane, isn't it?

Yeah. How did you know?

Uh, it's pretty easy to spot you out of three people.

Oh. Right. Yeah. I mean... I get it.

Well, I've nearly set this all up

but, uh, this is for you.

Well, for everyone, really, especially us fellas.

Yeah. I mean...

I get... Yeah. I've been meaning to...

do a bit of...

Or just to talk.

Just chill out.

See... Yeah. I mean, that... that's...

That... that'd be good,

'cause it's been a pretty... shit year, actually.

Might... might...

might be good to talk to someone.

It takes real guts to admit that you need help.

Uh...

You know, I...

I just can't. I'm sorry.

Mate!

Hello? Mrs Reed?

Oh. Shit!

Come on! Come on, keep up! Keep up.

Slow down!

Luke! Where are you going?

I win!

Luke 1, Eva 0.

- Whatever. - Maybe next time.

Oh, cool. Check that out.

What are you doing?

- This is how people die. - No, this is how people live!

Don't be an idiot!

Stop!

Whoa!

Oh! Come on!

Come on. Try it, try it!

It's safe. I dare you.

Oh, come on!

Come on. It's glorious.

Hi!

God.

Hey.

Where's, um... where's Eva?

Oh, we're out, um... we're out hangin'.

Hangin', like kids.

- Were they home? - No.

And it looks like they haven't been there for a while.

It's not your job to bond with Eva, alright?

You just do as I tell you.

Yeah, I know.

It's all about our deal, right?

Why are you soaked?

I went to the river.

It's beautiful here.

But you know what? You know, I don't think that, uh...

I don't think you've ever looked sexier than you do right now.

Oh, god!

- Come on. - No!

Oh, come on, please. Please. Annie, look.

You don't even have to touch me. You don't have to move. I...

Please. Come on. I've been going crazy without you, Annie.

Oh!

Please, Annie. Let me just...

Oh, Annie...

Oh, I've missed you.

Oh, shit!

Oh, shit.

G'day.

Hi, there.

It's all a bit whiz-bang.

Yep.

And what exactly are you looking for?

I'm a sustainable botanist, so I'm just collecting some samples, that's all.

Unfortunately you can't take any of the indigenous flora without a...

permit.

Good on you.

Benjamin Garnot.

Is that French, is it?

Uh, pff.

So, what brings you to Mullan?

I take it you're not a local.

Why? Is that relevant?

Just making a bit of polite chit-chat, mate.

Could you open the back of your van for me, please?

Again, why?

Curiosity.

And because I'm politely asking.

Asking, yes.

But you need to reasonably suspect illegal activity,

which, based on the evidence here, I fail to understand.

Ah, really?

Really?

Just so we're both accountable.

You're getting on my nerves, mate.

Alright. Well, good luck with your, um... botany.

Thank you.

See ya!

Thank you for calling me, Father, but I...

Look, I'm... This is absurd.

Look, whatever my daughter told you...

Mrs Carter, thank you for coming.

- Please just... - Nothing happened.

- OK. - Not that it's any of your business.

So... He's 16, isn't he?

Oh.

Eva, he was being silly.

Alright? He's been through so much and he's missing his own family.

- Eva, come on. - Mrs Carter, this is my duty of care.

- And clearly, Eva is still grieving... - She misinterpreted the...

- grieving for her dad. - Situation.

She's still clearly devastated.
