Short filmTranscript
00:00My name's David Langham. I'm your new sergeant.
00:06It's so good to see you.
00:08I can't say the same about you.
00:09What's going on?
00:10This is my daughter.
00:11I can't be here anymore. This isn't the right place for me. I thought it was.
00:15Theo cares about you.
00:16This isn't about Theo. This is about my dad.
00:18He was more interested in forgiving the driver than he was mourning the loss of his own wife.
00:23The driver that was responsible for your mother's death.
00:27Does Theo know any of this?
00:29Well, he knows Mum died, but that's all.
00:31You're right. I shouldn't just leave town because of Dad.
00:34What about Theo? Are you going to tell him that you were planning on leaving?
00:38You alright?
00:39Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine.
00:41I was hoping we could talk about where we go from going.
00:44We go, no way.
00:45Come on.
00:46No, no, I mean it.
00:47I want nothing to do with you.
00:49One gif for every year, I couldn't be with you.
00:51Lots of love, Dad.
00:52We can't accept this, Abby. It's emotional blackmail.
00:56You said you wanted to bring the family back together?
00:58Well, if you really mean that, then you should invite Dad to your wedding.
01:01You know, it's about time Theo sorted things out with a pair of them.
01:06Yeah.
01:07Seeing them both sitting together talking was a huge relief.
01:11G'day.
01:12G'day.
01:13What can I get you?
01:14Flat white.
01:15Thanks.
01:16A councilmate of mine told me there was a new copper at Yabby Creek.
01:20You wouldn't be him, would you?
01:21I mean, the uniform is a bit of a giveaway.
01:23With an informant network like that, you sound like someone I should get to know.
01:27You're not wrong there, darling.
01:29David Langham.
01:30Nice to meet you.
01:31Alf Stewart.
01:32I look after the caravan park.
01:34And he's the president of the surf club.
01:36This is Irene and Leah.
01:38They own the diner.
01:39Nice to meet you.
01:40Hi.
01:41Thanks.
01:42You wouldn't happen to have a daughter named Lacey by any chance?
01:46I sure do.
01:47Do you know her?
01:49She's come to the diner a few times.
01:51Nice place to work.
01:53Yeah.
01:54Yeah, it is.
01:55And we all look after each other around the bay.
01:57So if you need anything, just sing out, eh?
01:59Good to know.
02:00Thanks.
02:01Bye.
02:02Bye.
02:03Can I do a trial shift just in case the spot opens up?
02:09Yeah.
02:10Yeah, it's cool.
02:11Thanks anyways.
02:12Hey.
02:13Hi.
02:14I've missed you.
02:15You too.
02:16Oh.
02:17You okay?
02:18Yeah, yeah.
02:19Just had a big workout.
02:20You want some water?
02:21Yeah, yes, please.
02:22Who's that on the phone?
02:23I'm just trying to get some work.
02:24What, last night's shift didn't pan out?
02:25I mean, it was fine, but one shift isn't going to make me enough money to move out of
02:39backpackers.
02:40I wish we could help you.
02:41Oh, actually, maybe I can.
02:46What are you talking about?
02:49What if I sold my car?
02:52Once I pay off the loan, then you have like 5k to get yourself sorted?
02:57You are very sweet, but that is your car.
03:00And I don't want to rely on anyone for money.
03:02Hey, hey, hey.
03:03I am not anyone.
03:04I know.
03:05But I want to be able to stand on my own two feet.
03:08Look, I just want to help.
03:10The thing depends on you for money.
03:13It's not good for me.
03:15Or for us.
03:16Okay.
03:19But the offer still remains.
03:22Still remains.
03:23All right.
03:27Yeah, I promise. I love them all.
03:30All right, I'll see you soon.
03:32I love you too.
03:35You two are really chatty now.
03:37Yeah, we are.
03:38I can't be bought like everybody else in this family.
03:41All right, if mum can tolerate being in a room with him,
03:43then why can't you?
03:44Dad didn't respect his own marriage.
03:46I'm not about to invite him to the start of mine.
03:48So you're going to invite everyone in the entire family except for Dad?
03:52I'm not having this conversation.
03:54Now or ever.
03:55Eden, you might regret this.
03:56Okay, this is my wedding, my guest list.
04:02See you at work.
04:04Yep.
04:09Absolutely, Sarge. I'll check it out.
04:11I'm on the way.
04:13Hey, Cash. Hey, good news.
04:14I'm off to Japan next week.
04:16Oh, on your own?
04:17No, no, no, with Papa and Archie.
04:19I'm just on my way to Yabby Creek to grab some stuff and get organised.
04:21Yeah, okay.
04:23Okay, isn't it going to be confusing going on your honeymoon with your ex-fiancée?
04:27It's not a honeymoon.
04:29We've talked about it.
04:30Friends only.
04:31Yeah, but that's what you've talked about.
04:32And then there's the reality of actually going over there.
04:34Relax.
04:35We're both just keen to have a family holiday with our boy.
04:37It's a good thing.
04:38Yeah.
04:38Hey, Cash.
04:39I met your new sergeant earlier.
04:41Seems like a decent sort of a blight.
04:42Yeah, he seems like it.
04:43Sometimes you live a lie, but all you want to do is scream.
04:51Just a minute.
05:14Oh, I hate you so much, Amanda.
05:37Have you melted down for s-
05:38Are you okay?
05:41Yeah.
05:43Yeah, I'm good.
05:44It looked like it hurt.
05:45Do you want me to take a look at it?
05:46Oh, thanks.
05:47It's fine.
05:48I've got a first aid kit in the car.
05:50So you want me to use it?
05:52I'm sorry.
05:53I don't know how many ways I can say it.
05:55Thank you, but I don't need your help.
05:58Oh, right.
06:00So I'm guessing it'll be a mistake for me to ask the time with the car, then.
06:04Big mistake.
06:05Am I amusing you?
06:09No, no, it's just not every day you see someone yelling at a car, that's all.
06:14Well, someone gets yelled at a lot.
06:17All right, well, let me take a look at it.
06:18All right.
06:20Are you a mechanic?
06:21No, but I might be able to get going.
06:24I didn't ask you to do that.
06:26So why, are you just going to keep yelling at it until it starts?
06:29Well, deal with it yourself.
06:39That's what I was trying to do.
06:41Did you follow up about that graffiti?
06:59Yes.
06:59Actually, the servo owner recognized some of those kids on the CCTV, so I'm going to make
07:03some phone calls and bring them in for questioning.
07:04Good.
07:06Met a few of the locals at Summer Bay earlier.
07:09Alf Stewart runs a surf club.
07:10Yeah, he runs a town more like it.
07:12Is that right?
07:12Yeah, nothing gets past him.
07:14Okay.
07:14Hey, hey, I texted you.
07:20I'm sorry to interrupt, but we need to talk.
07:22Abby is bugging me about inviting you to the wedding.
07:25This is the station's new sergeant.
07:28Oh, David, right?
07:30Sergeant Langham.
07:31Eden Fowler.
07:32It's nice to meet you, Miss Fowler, and it's time to go.
07:40See ya.
07:44Bring those kids in for questioning.
07:47Plan your wedding in your own time.
07:49Yes, Sergeant.
08:08You sure you don't need any help?
08:10I'm fine.
08:11My car is fine.
08:13Well, at least let me call a mechanic for you.
08:15Does this usually work for you?
08:17Does what usually work for me?
08:19Playing the champion to damsels in distress?
08:22I'm not playing anything.
08:23If I see someone's in trouble, I don't just drive past.
08:26Right, and you'd just as quickly do it for a bloke, yeah?
08:29Yep.
08:31Just needs a new fan belt, okay?
08:33I'll call a mechanic myself.
08:34Thanks anyway.
08:36Okay.
08:36Okay.
08:36Okay.
08:44I'll call a mechanic.
08:45I'll call you.
08:46I'll call you.
08:46No.
08:46My phone's dead.
08:48Don't worry about it.
08:48Oh.
08:49I'll call you.
08:50I'll call you.
08:50I'll call you.
08:51No.
08:51My phone's dead.
08:53You need me to call me, can I call you?
09:02No, my phone's dead. Don't worry about it.
09:06Oh.
09:23Come in.
09:30Hey, got you a cuppa.
09:33Why?
09:35I was sorry about before.
09:37Eden, she's stressing about inviting her estranged father to the wedding.
09:41I'm sure you can imagine how difficult that is for her.
09:45Have you interviewed those kids yet?
09:47We're having a hard time tracking down the parents and the guardians.
09:49Then I suggest you start focusing on that instead of making me cups of tea and going on about your girlfriend.
09:54Filzay.
09:57I'm going to leave you to it.
09:58Close the door behind you.
10:00Yep, yep, Sarge.
10:10What are you doing?
10:11Nothing.
10:12Nothing.
10:17Okay, look, before you freak out, I'm selling it for me, not you.
10:23Really?
10:24Yes.
10:25Because I love that car.
10:28Well, I loved.
10:29But now every time I look at it, I just think about what happened.
10:33I just want to sell it and move on.
10:35Okay, well as long as it's for you and not for me, I'm all for it.
10:38Mm-hmm.
10:40Hey, it is for you though, right?
10:43Mostly.
10:44Theo!
10:45Look, I know your family's not around and I'm in a position to help you.
10:50Once I sell it and I've got the money, we can work out whether you need it or not.
10:55If it makes you feel any better, we can call it a loan.
11:01How did I get so lucky?
11:03Sorry.
11:05Sorry, sorry.
11:06It's okay, it's okay.
11:13Can I get two margaritas for table nine?
11:16Did you hear me?
11:17Mm-hmm.
11:19The silent treatment?
11:20Seriously?
11:21You are supposed to be the older, more mature one, right?
11:25Get over you.
11:26Excuse me?
11:27You were being a tool.
11:28Have you actually thought about what it means to cut dad out of your life?
11:30Only for a decade or so, yeah.
11:32Okay, great.
11:33So what are you going to do when Levi actually has a kid?
11:35Because you know that dad will want to be a part of that.
11:37Mackenzie is not even pregnant.
11:38You can't avoid him at every birth, death and marriage.
11:40I will be singing hallelujah at his funeral.
11:43You know he will actually die one day and then it'll be too late and you will regret it.
11:46I told you to leave it, Abby.
11:47Can you please talk some sense into her about inviting dad to the wedding?
11:50Because she will not listen to me.
11:54Sorry about turning up your work earlier.
11:56No, no, that's okay.
11:57What's going on here?
11:58Mr. Stewart, right?
12:03Yeah, that's right.
12:04But call me Alf, eh?
12:05I'm sorry, mate.
12:06I've got to run.
12:07Right on.
12:09I'll grab the time.
12:10Yeah.
12:11I'm starving.
12:12I'm not surprised.
12:13You've probably walked 10 k's.
12:15Watch out.
12:16How many times have I told you?
12:18You've got to keep your phone charged.
12:19Yes, Dad.
12:20I get it, okay?
12:21What about the car?
12:22I'll fix it tomorrow.
12:23Hi.
12:24Nice to see you again.
12:25Me too.
12:26That coffee earlier hit the spot, so I thought we'd give the food a go too.
12:31Hi.
12:32I'm Leah.
12:33Sorry.
12:34My daughter, Jo.
12:36Nice to meet you.
12:37Oh, I didn't know that Lacey had a sister.
12:40Well, lovely to meet you.
12:41How do you know Lacey?
12:43Apparently she likes this place.
12:45I'll give you a moment to decide.
12:48Well, speaking of, seeing as we're close by Reevedon Lakes Backpackers, should we stop
12:55by on our way home?
12:56You can flash your badge and intimidate the staff for giving us the key to Lacey's room.
13:01You know that's not how it works.
13:03If work got to Lacey that we were sniffing around, she'd lose it.
13:06You know that.
13:07Well, she can't ignore us forever.
13:09Given how it went last time I tried talking to your sister, going in full pelt probably
13:14isn't wise.
13:15Yes.
13:16She'd probably bite my head off the moment she saw me.
13:20She'll come round.
13:23Are they ready to order?
13:25Will Lacey be joining them?
13:26Uh, no.
13:27Lacey won't be joining them.
13:30What's the story then?
13:31He seems like a decent bloke.
13:34Yeah.
13:35He really is.
13:36Stairfresh?
13:37Or maybe a pasta?
13:38A few pasta?
13:39You are the best.
13:40You know that?
13:41I know.
13:42Feel free to keep reminding me though.
13:43Pasta it is then.
13:44Are you expecting someone?
13:45It's probably Sonny.
13:46He's probably forgotten his keys again.
13:47Yo.
13:48Oh, hey.
13:49Hey.
13:50What are you doing here?
13:51Ah, I'm still going to break over some leftovers.
13:52Oh, great.
13:53It's probably far better than anything I come up with, so.
13:55Um, I was also hoping to have a moment alone with you.
13:56Why?
13:57Ah, I just need to chat through some of the things we were talking about the other day.
14:02Not about me, is it?
14:03No, no.
14:04No, no.
14:05No, no, no.
14:06I'm just going to break over some leftovers.
14:07Oh, great.
14:08It's probably far better than anything I come up with, so.
14:09Um, I was also hoping to have a moment alone with you.
14:14Why?
14:15Uh, I just need to chat through some of the things we were talking about the other day.
14:19Not about me, is it?
14:20No, no, no.
14:21No, no.
14:22No, no.
14:23Nothing like that.
14:24Um, do you mind?
14:25No, of course not.
14:26Go for it.
14:27Okay.
14:28What's up?
14:29So, we just had a visitor downstairs.
14:30My dad.
14:31He was with your sister.
14:32Jo?
14:33You didn't tell them where I was, did you?
14:34No, of course not.
14:35Okay, good.
14:36He's the only person I want to see less than my dad is my sister.
14:39Babe.
14:40Babe, you don't understand.
14:41Mum was devastated.
14:42For years.
14:43No, she's just forgiven him.
14:44Oh, Abby says so.
14:45But, Mum might just be making nice so that they can both be there to support Abby.
14:46I don't know.
14:47Hey, look, we haven't even said a date for the wedding yet so how about before you decide
14:48anything, just go out and find out for sure.
14:50My dad is my sister.
14:54Babe, you don't understand.
14:57Mum was devastated for years.
14:59No, she's just forgiven him.
15:01Oh, Abby says so.
15:03But Mum might just be making nice
15:05so that they can both be there to support Abby.
15:07I don't know.
15:08Look, we haven't even set a date for the wedding yet,
15:10so how about before you decide anything,
15:12just go out and find out for sure?
15:16Yeah.
15:17Yeah, I mean, I am overdue for a visit to Mum's place.
15:21Yeah.
15:21So, yeah.
15:23Yeah, I, um, had to get back to work.
15:25Yep.
15:26Thanks for this.
15:26See you.
15:28Oi!
15:30All good?
15:30Yeah, yeah, family, family stuff.
15:33How was you, Eddie Creek?
15:34Yeah, good.
15:35Yeah, I'm just going to get my head around
15:36the three million other things Harper's freaking out about.
15:39Turns out traveling with the baby's not that easy.
15:40Yeah, I reckon you're going to enjoy every minute of it, mate.
15:42I'm happy for you.
15:44Yeah?
15:45Yeah, yeah, I know it's not the picture-perfect family.
15:46You always imagine, but, nah,
15:48I don't think the perfect family exists.
15:50But, yeah, I'm happy too.
15:52Good.
15:53Cheers.
15:53Cheers.
15:57Evening, Mr. Alfred.
15:59G'day, kid.
16:00You working late?
16:01Ah, just getting a bit of stuff ready
16:03for the next committee meeting.
16:04What's your excuse?
16:05Oh, Miley wanted me to check on something.
16:07Yeah, he told me he was cutting back on lessons,
16:09but I haven't seen him round for a week or so.
16:12Yeah, no, he's at home checking boards.
16:13He's got a huge backlog.
16:14Is he okay?
16:17He's...
16:17He's overworked and kind of obsessed
16:21and could use a break, but he is all right.
16:24Well, tell him I recommend a good supply of fresh air,
16:27preferably with a fish and rod in his hand.
16:28We do miss him around here.
16:31Yeah.
16:31I'll let him know.
16:32Good on you.
16:36Ah, did your fiancé talk some sense into you?
16:38Look, I heard what you said, okay?
16:40And I won't be making a decision about inviting Dad to the wedding
16:43until I know for sure how Mum feels about it.
16:45Really?
16:46Yes, if she is comfortable with me inviting Dad,
16:50then maybe, maybe I will consider it.
16:54Okay, well then call her.
16:56Well, no, I thought I could pay her a visit
16:57just to make sure that she is really okay
16:59and you're not lying to me.
17:01Great.
17:01Well, I will take that bet.
17:03Yeah, that means I'm driving.
17:04Huh.
17:07Yay.
17:07So I'll change the bell,
17:13follow you back to town,
17:15just to be sure?
17:17Thanks, Dad.
17:20Oh, are you kidding?
17:22Who's that?
17:23Just some guy from yesterday.
17:34What do you think you're doing?
17:37Uh, replace your fan belt.
17:40Well, technically it's a serpentine belt,
17:42but whatever.
17:42I didn't give you permission to do that.
17:45Yeah, I know.
17:46But I was driving past.
17:47It's no problem.
17:48So you messed with my daughter's car
17:50despite her telling you not to?
17:52Daughter.
17:52Would you drive a car some random is fiddled with?
17:56Well, no.
17:57So what exactly are you doing here, mate?
18:00Oh, I think I've got a misunderstanding here, mate.
18:02No, I've been perfectly clear.
18:04You make a habit of overstepping, don't you?
18:07I've got my eye on you.
18:10All right.
18:11All right, my bad.
18:13Apologies.
18:15Might happen again.
18:16You know him?
18:35Met him.
18:39So did you stuff it up?
18:40No, actually, he did a good job.
18:56Okay, remember?
18:57My car, my music.
18:58That's it.
18:59I'm hitchhiking.
19:00Absolutely not.
19:00Mum would have a fit.
19:02G'day, ladies.
19:03Morning.
19:03Um, is Marley not coming in today?
19:07Um, I don't know.
19:08He was sleeping in.
19:09I think he was up late last night working.
19:11Oh, right.
19:12You off on a trip?
19:14Yes, yes.
19:15And I'm already regretting it.
19:16Sounds great.
19:17Come on, let's go.
19:18Okay.
19:20Hey, sorry.
19:22I've got to go.
19:22Someone texted about the car.
19:24You sure about selling?
19:25Yeah, 100%.
19:26All right.
19:27Good luck.
19:28Remember not to take the first offer.
19:29Mm-hmm.
19:30Never.
19:31See you later.
19:31Hey.
19:45I heard you were in town.
19:48Dad said the food here is pretty good.
19:50If you want to join me upstairs.
19:53No.
19:54Let me see.
19:55Get lost.
20:01Hey.
20:07You can't keep burying your head in the sand.
20:09We're family.
20:10We have to talk.
20:10Yeah, try guilt mean to talking when you should feel guilty every day for the rest of your life.
20:13You think I don't?
20:14Well, then own up to what you did.
20:16You have no idea what I want you.
20:18Oh, what I see every time I close my eyes.
20:21You should suffer for taking her away from us.
20:24Lace, why?
20:25Don't call me that.
20:26Lace.
20:31What was that for?
20:36Hey.
20:40Hey.
20:41Break up.
20:42Get off me.
20:42Get off me.
20:42Get off me.
20:43Get off me.
20:46Stop it.
20:47You're both coming down to the station with me.
20:49What's going on here?
21:01You own up to what you did or I swear you are so dead to me.
21:05She's going to blame me forever.
21:06Lacey hasn't dealt with her grief.
21:08She's just directing it at you.
21:10I already hate myself.
21:11What happened?
21:12It was an accident.
21:13No one was to blame.
21:15So Joe doesn't remember anything about the accident?
21:17So she says that could be a lie too.
