Short filmTranscript
00:00Closer each day, I'm in no way
00:06Theo is coming over for dinner
00:10Uh, well, that's a turnaround
00:12We talked and he agreed to come over
00:14Well, it's promising
00:15What?
00:17Lacey's coming too
00:18Is that a good idea?
00:20So what do you do for work?
00:22I'm in between jobs
00:24At least you're safe from the river boys now
00:26That's all that matters
00:28I should go
00:29What? No, no, stay
00:31Actually, Lacey, I owe you an apology
00:34I was wrong to blame you for what happened
00:36I'm sorry
00:37I was thinking about what you said last night
00:39About looking for work
00:40How would you like to work here?
00:41You don't need to offer me a job out of pity
00:43But thanks anyways
00:45No, you'd be helping me out
00:46But it's up to you
00:47Just think about it
00:49I think her being kind to me
00:51Just kind of reminded me of my mum
00:53Now, well, why is that such a bad thing?
00:55My mum died
00:56I'm so sorry
00:58It was an accident
01:00I just never got to say bye to her
01:03Nice work, everyone
01:14Keep it up
01:15Don't let yourselves drop now
01:17Hey
01:18Hey
01:18Shouldn't you be at work?
01:21Oh, I've got plenty of time
01:22Is your new sergeant starting today?
01:24Yeah, apparently
01:24Looked you'd want to get in early
01:25Score some brownie points
01:26Yeah, you're right
01:28You're probably top of the class
01:29After the thing with the Riverboys
01:30Hey, don't forget to mention me
01:31When you get a reward, eh?
01:32Yeah, I don't get a reward
01:33If you're doing my job
01:34Seriously?
01:35Not even a commendation?
01:36Hey, look at that
01:36They're sucking off
01:37See you later
01:38Hey!
01:39Hey, I tell you to relax
01:40Keep going!
01:41Let's go!
01:42Push!
01:43Push!
01:44When did the accident happen?
01:48Almost
01:49Two years ago
01:51Oh, I just hate that it can just sneak up on me like this
01:57Two years is nothing
02:00When you've lost someone as important as your mum
02:03Hey
02:05Come here
02:08Oh, oh, oh
02:11Sorry
02:12I'm so sorry
02:13I'm a bit sore
02:14No, no, no
02:15I shouldn't be laying this all out on you
02:16I don't mind
02:17No, no, no
02:18You're not properly back on your feet yet
02:20Yeah, well, I can handle
02:21Talking about heavy stuff
02:23Body and mind
02:24No, I'll
02:26No, no, no
02:27We're done
02:27Discussing my mum
02:29Oh?
02:31Yeah
02:31If that's what you want
02:33It is
02:35Good
02:38Look at this
02:41I'm even buying groceries
02:43Like there's three of us living here
02:44Well, we can cut back
02:46That's a win with the cost of living these days
02:48I know you're trying to give me up
02:51Oh, come on
02:53Normally my bad jokes make you smile
02:55Dio was never going to live here indefinitely
02:58So you're not missing him?
03:01Of course I am
03:01I even miss you two being stupidly loud and competitive over video games
03:06You know, a more insecure man might get offended
03:09You're sad being stuck alone here with me
03:12You know, that's not what this is about
03:14Why don't we get outside after brekkie?
03:18Go and remind ourselves there's a big wide world out there
03:21Thanks, but I've got books to do
03:24Okay, listen up
03:37For those of you who failed your insignia exam
03:41These three stripes mean I'm your new sergeant
03:44My name's David Langham
03:46I've heard mostly good things about Yabby Creek Station
03:50So I'm happy to be here
03:52There's really only one thing you need to know about me
03:54Nice of you to join us, senior constable
03:58No, Sarge, my shift hasn't actually started yet
04:00Make that two things you need to know about me
04:03The first is I'm not a fan of lateness
04:05Everyone's time is valuable
04:08The second, and most important
04:11Is that as far as I'm concerned
04:13The community comes first
04:15The people we serve benefit when we're all moving in the same direction
04:20All right
04:23I've bored you enough, back to work
04:25Excuse me, Sarge
04:27Sarge
04:28Good morning
04:29I'm actually not late
04:30My shift starts in 20 minutes
04:32It's Newman, right?
04:36Go wait for me in the interview room
04:38Okay
04:39Can I ask why?
04:40You're gonna ask
04:41So, I know you don't want to talk about your mum anymore
04:48All right, so be smart and don't bring it up
04:50No, I just wanted to say that
04:52It means a lot that you felt safe to open up with me
04:56Don't get used to it
04:58Those are some crazy walls you built up there
05:02Look, just because I got upset in front of you
05:04Doesn't mean you're allowed to look at me differently
05:06Okay?
05:07I don't
05:07Why would I?
05:10Hey
05:11That's that guy who showed up with cash
05:13To pick me and Dana up the other day
05:14Yeah, yeah, Tane
05:15He's a good guy
05:16Actually, I need to talk to him
05:19Yeah?
05:20Okay
05:20Go get us some drinks
05:21Hey
05:21You sure you're up?
05:24Yeah
05:25I'm fine
05:25Go
05:26Hey, great class today, guys
05:29See you next time
05:30Thanks
05:30Just a man
05:33You got a minute?
05:34Yeah, sure
05:34How are you travelling?
05:35You doing okay?
05:36Oh, yeah
05:36I'm getting there
05:37I just wanted to talk to you about doing some post-op rehab
05:40Oh, yeah?
05:41Yeah, I'm still doing physio at the hospital
05:43But I just wanted to see if there's anything I can do here to supplement that
05:46Good to see you, Keane
05:47Yeah, well, it's frustrating, man
05:49I'm just nowhere near where I used to be before the surgery
05:52Oh, not a big surprise
05:53But I'm sure we can work something out
05:55Yeah, good
05:55Because I want to get back to my feet as fast as I can
05:57Thought you were doing the diner books
06:03All done
06:04So now you're what?
06:07Cleaning the house from top to bottom
06:08Don't worry about me
06:10I just need to keep busy
06:11Well
06:12You know there was a time when all we wanted was
06:15Time alone and a free house
06:18We are not spending the whole day in bed if that's what you're suggesting
06:21Oh, ouch
06:22Feels like my ego's just packed up and retired
06:26I didn't mean that the way it came out
06:27I'm just all good company at the moment
06:29You know, I do have an idea
06:33But you've got to keep an open mind
06:36Me? What? Are you serious?
06:42I lost my gaming buddy
06:43In all the time you've known me, when have I ever played video games?
06:46Never
06:46And that's the point
06:48We can't become empty nesters
06:49Staying open to new experiences will keep us young until we're 90
06:53Are you missing Theo that much?
06:54You want me to be your new gaming buddy?
06:56I know you hate losing, so I promise to go easy on you
06:58Fine
07:01No racing games
07:03No, how about
07:04Zombie apocalypse?
07:07No matter how old you guys get
07:09You still love your toys
07:11Alright, later up
07:12Thank you for waiting
07:23No problem, son
07:24You have my personnel file
07:29Makes for quite the read
07:32Let's go through some highlights
07:34Okay
07:35You're back on the force following a charge of grievous bodily harm
07:42That title's dropped
07:43Still, not a good thing to have on record for a serving officer, is it?
07:49A serving officer who also once knowingly harboured a wanted fugitive
07:54To help bring down a dirty cop
07:56Didn't stop you from being suspended, though
07:58Did it?
07:59And invited back after an investigation
08:01It should clearly state that in the file?
08:02Yes
08:03It does state that
08:04Okay
08:05So how long were you away from the force?
08:11Six months
08:11Even though you were invited back earlier
08:15Why?
08:17I had some doubts about the job
08:18Doubts about serving this community?
08:21No, I wouldn't say that
08:23Some time away made me realise where I belong
08:27Perhaps you should read about my success in the most recent investigation
08:31That's what this one is, right?
08:33Right
08:33You'll have to forgive me I couldn't get past the part where
08:40You allowed a civilian to assist in a dangerous rescue operation
08:45There were extenuating circumstances
08:47Without Tane Parata, lives could have been lost
08:50That sounds like good luck, not good planning
08:53Well, we rescued the witnesses
08:54Put a gang leader behind bars
08:57Says here that Gage Reynolds was only put away
08:59Because his girlfriend made a last-minute decision to testify
09:03Hey
09:06Lacey Miller
09:10Yeah, it was Miller's testimony that convinced the magistrate that he was guilty
09:16Sergeant
09:22Tell me about Miss Miller
09:27Everything you're not
09:30Sorry to keep you waiting
09:36It's all good
09:38Thanks for doing this
09:39Good to see you again
09:40Doing okay?
09:41Yeah
09:41Hi, thanks
09:42So you said you've been doing some physio at the hospital
09:45Yeah, so when can we start?
09:48Look
09:48It's good that you want to get started
09:50And I want to help you
09:51But we can't do anything with an official medical clearance
09:53Yeah, but I need this now
09:55I'm sorry Theo
09:55But no medical clearance, no training
09:57Yeah, he's right
09:58Once you get the sign off, then you come and see me, okay?
10:01In the meantime, I'll start the program so we can hit the ground running, yeah?
10:04Yeah
10:04This sucks
10:08Hey
10:09What's going on?
10:12Why are you pushing for this all of a sudden?
10:15I just want to feel like my own self again
10:17And where is she staying now?
10:21Riefland likes backpackers, last I checked
10:23Why all the interest in this particular witness?
10:27Just trying to get a sense of what's been going on around here
10:32Okay, well I'm not sure if this helps
10:33But Lacey wasn't the criminal here
10:35She was in a coercive relationship with the gang leader, Reynolds
10:38Bring her to the station
10:47The case is closed
10:49Wouldn't that be pointless?
10:51Don't question me, Newman
10:52Bring her in
10:54Okay, Sarge
10:56Oh, hey
11:08How'd you go in prison, the new boss?
11:10Oh, I've certainly made a first impression
11:11Oh, don't want to know?
11:13I'll tell you about it later
11:13You better go
11:14Oh, yeah
11:15Hey, got your message, what's up?
11:18Look, I'm going to need you to come back to the station with me
11:20Why?
11:21It's nothing serious
11:22It sounds serious
11:23No, it's just routine
11:24Got a couple loose ends we need to tie up with the case
11:26Alright, how's that my problem?
11:28Well, it shouldn't take too long
11:29I can drop you back here when we're finished, if you like
11:31Just go and get it over with
11:33I've got to sort out this medical clearance stuff anyway
11:36Alright, fine
11:38Make it quick though
11:39I don't want to waste my whole afternoon
11:40Understood
11:40Appreciate it
11:41I never thought I'd see this place again
11:53Well, at least it's under better circumstances
11:56It still gives me the ick
11:57What cop shops do
11:59Yeah, come on through
12:00I'm going to try to make this as painless as possible
12:02Okay, you still haven't told me what this is about
12:05Take a seat
12:07I'll get Sarge
12:09So it is you
12:15You played me
12:17What?
12:19It's so good to see you
12:20I can't say the same about you
12:22What's going on?
12:25This is my daughter
12:26Whoa!
12:34Where'd you get that weapon?
12:35Scared about big guns, are you?
12:37There is no way this is the first time you've played this game
12:39I have seen you and Theo kill each other great a thousand times on this game
12:42Okay
12:43I'm not going to take it easy anymore, this means war
12:47Bring it on
12:48Mm-hmm
12:48You can run, Morgan, but you can't hide
12:51Oh, keep it on
12:52Your overconfidence is going to be your downfall
12:54Yeah, well I'm just relying on your weak spot
12:56No, no, don't try and psych me
13:00I do not have a
13:01What's my weak spot?
13:04Oh!
13:06Oh, a sneak kill
13:07You killed me when I wasn't looking
13:08Oh, smooth
13:09That's your weak spot
13:11You were so easy to distract
13:12I want a rematch
13:13Yep
13:13And please don't tell Theo about this
13:15Because I've got a reputation up home
13:16Oh, it's a bit late for that
13:18Oh
13:19Hey, man
13:21Hey, why did you transfer here?
13:25To mess with my life?
13:26I didn't know you were here
13:27Right, and are you a part of this?
13:29I don't have a clue what's going on
13:30Newman, you can leave us
13:31No, no, no, seriously, stay
13:32This isn't going to take very long
13:34I don't believe you
13:35Seeing your name in the case file
13:37Was pure luck
13:38I wasn't even sure it was you
13:41When did you change your surname?
13:44Right after I left
13:45I didn't want anything to do with you
13:46So you took your mum's maiden name?
13:48Well, someone had to keep her memory alive
13:51That's not fair
13:53I've spent months trying to find you
13:58I had notifications on your bank details
14:01Dad, dad, dad
14:02What don't you understand?
14:04I don't want to be found
14:05I'm not the only one who's missed you
14:07Okay, don't you dare go there
14:11So let's talk about the gangs
14:14And the street racing then, Lacey
14:16Seriously?
14:18No, no, no
14:18You don't get to judge me
14:19You get zero say
14:20On what is going on in my life
14:22Well, it sounds like you're messing up that life
14:24Okay, okay
14:24You could have been killed
14:25What would your mother say?
14:27Well, she's not here
14:27Is she?
14:32And you told me that this was about the case
14:33I thought that it was
14:34Lacey
14:35No, no
14:35I want to go
14:36Lacey
14:37Now
14:37Lacey
14:38So Leah's first time playing the game and she beat you
15:03Matt, how can you even show your fate?
15:05How many times have I let Leah win to cheer her up?
15:07Oh, are you buying that?
15:08No
15:09It cuts pretty deep that Justin's replaced me so far
15:12So clearly I'm not missed around here
15:13I will beat you at that super game whenever you want
15:15What are you doing here anyway, mate?
15:18You missed us already
15:19That
15:20And
15:21I need a lift to the hospital
15:23Are you okay?
15:25Yeah, no biggie
15:25I just need to get medical clearance
15:27To start a fitness program at the gym
15:29Oh, okay
15:30That's great
15:31You don't want to push yourself too fast too soon, huh?
15:33I just want to get back on my feet
15:34No, I want to be the guy that Lacey met
15:38You're doing this for Lacey?
15:40Yeah, a bit for me too
15:42She's got some real stuff going on
15:44And I want to be there to support her
15:46Without her having to worry about me
15:48Oh, she really means that much to you
15:50Yeah, Leah, she does
15:51Well, we're stoked things are going so good for you
15:56Both of you?
15:57Lacey does seem to make you happy
16:01Here we are
16:12Ordered door service
16:14I'm sorry
16:20If I had known he was your dad
16:21I'm going to be starting your phone
16:22Is Dad's transfer to Yabba Creek Station permanent?
16:30As far as I know, yeah
16:31I don't mean to overstep
16:34What happened between you two?
16:37He obviously cares about you
16:38A word of advice
16:41Watch out
16:43Dad's a stickler for the rules
16:45Until they don't suit him
16:46How'd you go?
16:57Just for the rest of time
16:58Okay, well Justin's going to give me a lift to the hospital
17:03If you want to join
17:04Lacey
17:06Is it cool if I just read it yours?
17:10Yeah, yeah, go for it
17:11I mean, it shouldn't be too long anyway
17:12I mean, it shouldn't be too long anyway
17:42I mean, it shouldn't be too long anyway
17:43I mean, it shouldn't be too long anyway
17:44I mean, it shouldn't be too long anyway
17:45I mean, it shouldn't be too long anyway
17:46I mean, it shouldn't be too long anyway
17:47I mean, it shouldn't be too long anyway
17:48I mean, it shouldn't be too long anyway
17:49I mean, it shouldn't be too long anyway
17:50I mean, it shouldn't be too long anyway
17:51I mean, it shouldn't be too long anyway
17:52I mean, it shouldn't be too long anyway
17:53I mean, it shouldn't be too long anyway
17:54I mean, it shouldn't be too long anyway
17:55I mean, it shouldn't be too long anyway
17:56I mean, it shouldn't be too long anyway
17:57I mean, it shouldn't be too long anyway
17:58I mean, it shouldn't be too long anyway
17:59I mean, it shouldn't be too long anyway
18:00Hey Sarge. Can I help you, Senior Constable? I was just checking out with you. Must have
18:23been rough earlier. Let's get one thing straight. I'm not going to be discussing my personal
18:29life with you. Okay, then how about you stop involving me in it? That's what just happened,
18:36right? You're lecturing me on boundaries, you're asking me to go pick up Lacey, you've
18:38got to see the double standard here. Do I now? Yes. What I do see is a junior rank telling
18:44me how to do my job. Now feel free to close the door on your way out.
18:59Oh, back again. You cops doing your work. Yeah, I'm trying to, mate. Believe me, your boss
19:14isn't making it easy. Ah, not a good day then. No, it turns out we're not each other's biggest
19:19fans. How come? Where do I start? He's been through my personnel file, he's pulled everything
19:23out of it. I get it. Yeah, he's got personal stuff going on somehow. I've ended up in the
19:27middle of it. Hang on, doesn't the whole Riverboy thing matter? Yeah, look, he was, um, he was
19:33not impressed that I involved a civilian in a high-risk police operation. You're talking
19:36about me? You didn't involve me in anything, that was my call. Yeah, hey, you know what?
19:40It's not your problem. I've got to go. He's waiting for me. Yeah.
19:47Excuse me, I need to speak to the sergeant.
19:53Can I help you? You're the new sergeant?
19:55David Langham. Yep. I'm Tani Parata. Now, I know you've got some problems over the choices
20:00Cash made with the arrest the other day. That was on me, not him. Ah, you're the civilian.
20:07Yes, and it was my decision to jump in the patrol car. And he didn't try and stop you?
20:11No, there wasn't time. There wasn't time to stop a civilian from getting involved in a police
20:16operation. Okay. You don't understand. Cash is a mate. So he couldn't stop his mate from getting
20:22caught up in the middle of a police operation. It wasn't like that. Then how was it exactly?
20:32Why don't you come through and take a seat? Maybe you can clear a few things up for me.
20:52Going somewhere? Uh, yeah. I can give you a lift if you like. I'm fine. Thanks. I don't mind,
21:01really. I'm hanging together. No, I said I'm fine. Can you just go? I can't be here anymore. This
21:05isn't the right place for me. I thought it was. Theo cares about you. This isn't about Theo. This is
21:09about my dad. He's decided to move here. If he's here, I can't be. Whatever you decide to do,
21:17it's entirely your call, but you need to be upfront with Theo.
