Short filmTranscript
00:00I have organized a CT just so we can rule out any fractures and that should be done shortly.
00:05And if that comes back clear, is she going to be okay?
00:07It's too soon to say.
00:08I'm up on a bit of shut-eye point fix.
00:11Do you think you're being funny?
00:13Sorry, I just tried to brighten the mood. I didn't know what else to say.
00:15Counselor Craig Wendell, you must be Sergeant David Lane.
00:18Thanks for coming in.
00:19It was like he recognized me.
00:21When he saw me, he looked scared.
00:23If this guy owned the car that you saw, he is probably the guy who killed Mum.
00:26And we've got to figure out who he is.
00:27Yeah, I know that he's going to keep trying.
00:29Then let's just leave him to it.
00:32Please.
00:33Okay.
00:34The lawyer rang my boss and complained.
00:37I've been ordered to cease all inquiries.
00:39So you follow the rules and maybe you never get this guy, but if you break him, you get justice for your work.
00:45That's a huge risk.
00:46What is going on?
00:47I went to his house.
00:49I actually can't believe you did this.
00:51Babe, what if someone saw you?
00:52Wendell sounds like a very powerful guy.
00:55Can't you just let your dad be the cop and stay out of it?
00:57Fine.
00:58I'll drop it.
01:00Counselor Wendell.
01:01It's Georgia Delvey again.
01:03You talk to me.
01:05Or I'm talking to the media.
01:12Hey.
01:13Oh, hey.
01:14What have you been up to?
01:16Not much.
01:17Just clocked off work.
01:18Thought I'd grab myself some lunch.
01:19Nice.
01:21Haven't heard from you in a few days.
01:22Oh, yeah.
01:23I've been busy.
01:24Pretty out of practice with this whole sisters thing.
01:27Don't worry.
01:27Me too.
01:28How's dad been?
01:31Fine, I think.
01:32Has he said anything about the investigation?
01:35No, I haven't heard anything.
01:37And I thought we agreed to leave it to him.
01:38Yeah, we are.
01:40Can't help but be a bit curious, though.
01:42He's not going to tell me anything, Lace.
01:44Well, I'm sure we'll get an update really soon.
01:46All right, see you later.
01:50No, you are not going to get a cab.
01:53I'm going to come and get you.
01:55Yes.
01:56Uh-huh.
01:57Okay, great.
01:58I'll see you soon.
01:59Bye.
02:01Papa's being discharged this afternoon.
02:02It's great.
02:04I think great's the word I would use to describe any of this, but...
02:06Fair enough.
02:07But, I mean, the specialist wouldn't let her go unless she was actually okay, right?
02:11Yeah, well, maybe there's just nothing else they can do.
02:14Hey.
02:15You.
02:16Oh, hey.
02:17Hi.
02:17Heard about your sister.
02:18How's she doing?
02:19Yeah, um, I don't know.
02:21They're letting her go home from the hospital, so...
02:24That's good.
02:24Good to hear.
02:25I mean, something tells me she won't be celebrating with a glass of champagne, though.
02:28You know what I mean?
02:31Just let her know we're happy to help, whatever she needs.
02:33That's really appreciated.
02:35Not that hard, is it?
02:39Dude.
02:40I know.
02:41I'm an idiot.
02:41And you're employed as Councillor Wendell's assistant from March to November.
02:51I'm guessing you remember his car at the time, a grey Mercedes.
02:57Great.
02:58Do you recall why he wanted it sold so quickly?
03:01Yeah, fair enough.
03:04It was years ago now.
03:07Um, alright, well, thanks a lot for your help.
03:10If you think of anything else, just give me a buzz.
03:12You can call me directly on this number.
03:14Don't bother them at the station.
03:16Okay.
03:18Great.
03:23If I'd known you were home, I would have brought you lunch.
03:25Ah, that's alright.
03:26I'm not hungry.
03:27Why aren't you at work?
03:28It's called a sick day.
03:29I am entitled to them, believe it or not.
03:32You're not feeling well, Dad.
03:34I'm alright, sweetheart.
03:35I just need a rest.
03:37Why'd you bring all that home?
03:39Figured I might as well get some admin done.
03:41Any more questions?
03:43Well, you bring police admin home now?
03:44Since when do you do that?
03:45I'm trying something new.
03:46This smells good.
03:48What is it?
03:49I thought you said you weren't hungry.
03:51I'm not.
03:52Just if there's any leftovers.
03:55You want to go halves?
03:57Yeah.
03:57Alright.
04:02The Harper thing was obviously an accident.
04:05Just go easy on yourself.
04:07But I would lay off on the jokes from now on.
04:10Yep, trust me, I got the message.
04:12Hey, babe.
04:13You want to go grab a coffee?
04:14I actually have something exciting to tell you.
04:16Sure, what is it?
04:18Well, you're going to have to come with me to find out, don't you?
04:20Okay.
04:21I'll grab my bag.
04:24Hey.
04:25Hey.
04:25Hey, good timing.
04:26How was work?
04:27Oh, care's alright.
04:29Still feels a bit weird.
04:30Yeah, that.
04:32You ready?
04:32Hey.
04:34Bye, guys.
04:35Bye.
04:35Bye.
04:37Um, did you see Harper this afternoon?
04:39Yeah, I checked in with her before she was discharged.
04:42Right, so she'll probably be home by now?
04:44Yeah, I guess so.
04:46Is it actually possible that she could lose sight in her eye?
04:50Yes, it is a possibility, but if the treatment goes well, then she should be fine.
04:59I'm sorry.
05:00This one's just going to take some time.
05:02Yeah.
05:05What's up, little man?
05:06It's just me.
05:08Don't be scared of the patch.
05:09Do you want a hand in there?
05:10I look different.
05:12Come on, Archie.
05:13Give me a break.
05:15Baba?
05:15I don't know how I'm going to do this.
05:19Do what?
05:21Well, not freak out Archie, for starters.
05:23I can't drive, which means I can't work.
05:26I'm stuck.
05:27I don't know how I'm going to do it.
05:28Okay, you are not entirely alone.
05:30Tana is here.
05:31So as long as I live with my ex forever, I'll be fine.
05:35Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
05:36What if this is permanent?
05:38Well, the ophthalmologist said that you don't need surgery, so that's positive.
05:41All the damage is already done, and my eye will never fully heal.
05:44Well, that's unhelpful.
05:49Hey, how's her favourite patient?
05:51She's...
05:52Now's not really a great time for a visit.
05:59Here we go again.
06:01Do you want me to go?
06:02He has to get used to it.
06:05The larchie's not happy.
06:07Shh, honey, mate.
06:08Don't be scared.
06:09It's just me.
06:10Nope.
06:11You think the patch is freaking him out?
06:13I will be right back, actually.
06:21I wish someone had taken me on a romantic road trip back in the day.
06:25Well, you're not exactly out for the count, Mars.
06:27Oh, stop it.
06:28Oh, Mr Stewart, I didn't know you were coming back today.
06:31Well, there's no need to make a fuss about it.
06:32I think what she means is it's good to see her.
06:35Well, it is good to see you.
06:36I just didn't know it was going to be today.
06:38Um, did you see Rue?
06:39Because I know she was going to see Martha.
06:41Yeah.
06:41Yeah, Rue and Martha are getting on like a house on fire, so I thought I'd get out of the road.
06:45That's nice.
06:46Well, have a seat.
06:47I'll get you some tea.
06:48We're going to have a catch-up.
06:49Thanks, Issa.
06:50Okay, so the thing I wanted to talk to you about...
06:58Yeah?
06:59Babe, can you...
07:01I'm trying to talk to you.
07:03Sorry.
07:04I'm listening.
07:06So, the day after Cash and Eden's wedding, what are you doing?
07:10Sleeping off a hangover with you.
07:13Well, how about instead of that, we pack our bags.
07:19We head on a plane.
07:21We go...
07:21Babe, can this wait?
07:22Do you want us to meet?
07:23Right now.
07:24Yeah, right now.
07:25It could be important.
07:28I'll see you soon?
07:29Yep.
07:35Sounds like Mr. Archie's asleep.
07:37Why'd he go have a nap?
07:38You don't have to stay.
07:40Don't you have work and a boyfriend?
07:42Well, actually, I was thinking that I would take a few days off and just be your personal nurse and Archie helper.
07:48And just, you know, be around for a couple of days.
07:50A couple of days?
07:52Yeah, I mean, Tony's going to be busy with all the best man stuff.
07:55Yeah, the wedding.
07:57I totally forgot.
07:58I'm not sure I'll be up for that.
08:00All right, well, you might feel better tomorrow.
08:01Okay?
08:02But either way, I'm staying.
08:03You don't have to do that.
08:05Please.
08:05You always take care of me.
08:07Thanks.
08:08Hey, I know you said you didn't need my hand.
08:13What are you doing back here?
08:15Do you know?
08:16It's a question.
08:17I've got a little present for Harper.
08:19It's for Archie as well.
08:21Actually, it's mainly for Archie.
08:27My present?
08:28No.
08:28Why?
08:29Go up and out.
08:29What?
08:30Seriously, go sleep.
08:31Sonny and I are going to have a little flight.
08:32All right.
08:48Hey.
08:49What's going on?
08:51So many updates?
08:53Dad skipped work today.
08:55So?
08:56So don't you think that's weird?
08:59I mean, I guess.
09:00Is he sick?
09:01No, he's just at home doing admin.
09:03Just admin?
09:06As opposed to what?
09:07Gee, I don't know.
09:08Maybe something to do with the investigation?
09:11I'm worried about him, okay?
09:13What if looking into the accident stirred up a lot and he's not coping?
09:17Well, do you know if he's made any progress since the interview?
09:20Lacey, just forget about the investigation for two seconds.
09:22Maybe if you just ask him about the case.
09:24Why would I do that?
09:25I thought we agreed to leave it to him.
09:27We have.
09:29We are.
09:29Well, I just thought maybe if you could find out where he's at with the case, we'd have
09:35more of an idea of what's affecting him, right?
09:41Why would you get her a pirate teddy?
09:43She doesn't like her patch.
09:45She's going to find this insensitive.
09:47This is not her sense of humor.
09:48Okay, it was supposed to help Archie.
09:49Didn't she say that he's freaking out over the eyepatch?
09:51Yes, and you thought another patch would help.
09:54Like, I know that I was dismissed.
09:57But do you mind keeping it down?
09:58Because if you wake him up, you're...
09:59I'm just going to go before I put another foot wrong, if that's even possible.
10:03I'm sorry, Harper.
10:04Can you go rest?
10:10It's a bit hard to rest when you and your boyfriend are trying to have a fight.
10:14Can I have my present now?
10:16Here it is.
10:17I told him it was not your sense of humor and that it was dumb.
10:20No, it's cute.
10:22It is.
10:24Yeah, which I look half as cute as this little guy.
10:26Okay?
10:29This is what you're fighting about?
10:30Yeah, because I thought it would upset you.
10:33Yeah, I think Sunny's right.
10:35It could help Archie get used to the way I look right now.
10:37We can call him Patch.
10:39Perfect Patch.
10:41Hmm?
10:47Hey.
10:47Hey, sweetheart.
10:48The girl's just boiled, if you want a cuppa.
10:50Oh, I'm good, thank you.
10:53And shouldn't I be making one for you?
10:56You're supposed to be having a sick day, remember?
10:58We talked about this.
11:03You would tell me, though, wouldn't you?
11:06If you weren't okay?
11:07Fine.
11:08Why wouldn't I be?
11:09I'm just checking in.
11:12Just making sure nothing's come up in the investigation, maybe?
11:15No, it hasn't.
11:16So you've made no headway, you have no leads?
11:19I'm not going to discuss anything until there's something to discuss.
11:22Dad, the man you were interviewing at the station, he looked at me like he knew me.
11:33Like he'd seen me before.
11:36Is he a suspect?
11:39Dad, why were you interviewing him?
11:40I thought he was the owner of the Mercedes.
11:46But he wasn't.
11:48It was a dead end.
11:52Okay?
11:54Okay.
12:01Well, Dana can't stay mad at you forever.
12:03Well, she was giving it a decent go.
12:05So this is the first time you're stuffed up?
12:07Oh, really good pep talk.
12:08You guys will figure it out.
12:10You always do.
12:12Hello.
12:13Yep, I'll leave you guys to it.
12:18Hey, how's Harper?
12:20She's fine.
12:20Good.
12:21Okay, I just want to say I'm sorry for the present.
12:23I know it was different, but I guess I'm a different kind of guy,
12:26so I don't know, one that's trying to be less of an idiot
12:27and more of someone...
12:28Sonny, can I have a floor, please?
12:30Sorry.
12:32Harper loves the bear.
12:34And so does Archie.
12:36Really?
12:37Yep.
12:38I named him Patch.
12:41And I wanted to say that I am sorry,
12:46because I know that I have been very harsh on you.
12:50It's just because I was taking my stress out on you,
12:53which is unfair, so I'm sorry.
12:57Well, I appreciate that.
12:58So, uh, instead of being insensitive,
13:04the gift was kind of genius?
13:07No, no, I wouldn't go that far.
13:09Say I'm a genius or I'm not going to forgive you.
13:11Don't push it.
13:12Okay?
13:14Come in.
13:21Hey.
13:22Hey.
13:23How'd you call Dad?
13:25Um, he said he didn't have any luck finding the other driver.
13:28None at all?
13:29What about the guy you saw at the station?
13:31I asked Dad.
13:32He said it was a dead end.
13:33You don't seriously believe that.
13:36Why wouldn't I?
13:37Come on, Joe.
13:38That guy recognised you.
13:39And now Dad's taking work home,
13:41and he's calling in sick days.
13:42He just needed a break.
13:44Joe, he's got to leave.
13:46That guy is not a dead end.
13:48He's the guy that owns the Mercedes.
13:52How do you know that?
13:54Because I saw his investigation paperwork
13:56when I broke into the station.
13:57You said you didn't find anything.
13:59You said you didn't want to be involved.
14:04Okay, so...
14:05Who is he?
14:06What's his name?
14:08Craig Wendell.
14:10Wendell.
14:12Why does that sound familiar?
14:14Because he's a local government councillor.
14:16His name is everywhere.
14:17Look.
14:20And guess where he was the day of the accident?
14:23Opening a library at Baxter Creek Falls.
14:27He was there, Joe.
14:29That's him.
14:30That's the guy I saw at the station.
14:34Dad lied to my face.
14:36Makes you wonder what else he's not telling you.
14:38Now you've come to find me.
14:49What is this?
14:56It's called romance.
14:58And you better get used to it.
15:00Because there's plenty more where that came from.
15:03Okay.
15:03How are things with Joe?
15:07Um...
15:08Balsalam.
15:12What's going on?
15:13Did I forget it was like Valentine's Day or something?
15:15Well, no.
15:17But I know you've been under a lot of pressure lately.
15:20And finding this small town...
15:22Well, very small since you moved here.
15:25Yep.
15:26That's why I booked us a trip to Tasmania.
15:28I've hired a car.
15:31We'll travel around, explore the wilderness together.
15:35What do you think?
15:37Really?
15:39Yeah.
15:40Have I done good?
15:43Yeah.
15:44Everything good.
15:45It's perfect.
15:46Yeah.
15:46Hey, where have you been?
16:00Oh, I just went for a walk.
16:02I've got some pasta on the go if you want some.
16:04I'm good.
16:04Thanks.
16:04Thanks.
16:04Thanks.
16:16Thanks.
16:46Hey, how'd you sleep?
16:58Oh, not great.
17:00The pain kept me awake.
17:02Has Tano left already?
17:04Yeah.
17:05I said he had like thousands of things to do.
17:08I definitely can't go to the wedding.
17:11I feel bad for Cash though.
17:13I hope you understand.
17:14Oh, right.
17:16Of course he's going to understand.
17:17Um, yeah.
17:18Okay.
17:19Well then, you just sit tight and I will call him for both of us.
17:23Hey.
17:24Hey.
17:24If you're not going, I'm not going.
17:26Don't be ridiculous.
17:27Sonny can't go by himself.
17:29He totally can.
17:30But also, he just won't.
17:32As soon as he finds out I'm not going, he's just going to want to stay and help.
17:35Don't know.
17:36It's a wedding.
17:37It's one day.
17:38I would literally rather be here with you.
17:41I don't believe you, but thank you.
17:43I'm going to go home.
17:45I'm going to grab some stuff.
17:46Are you going to be okay for like half an hour?
17:48Yeah.
17:48And if I'm not, I'll just ask Patch to help me.
17:51Oh, you guys are a very cute couple.
17:55Cash!
17:56Oh, it's Tano.
17:58So, I'm sorry, but the vibe of your wedding is about to plummet.
18:04Yeah.
18:06Listen, counsellor.
18:07I'm not messing around.
18:08You call me back or I'm going to the media.
18:09I mean it.
18:14Thanks for meeting up with me again.
18:15Do you need a coffee?
18:16You look like you need one.
18:18No offence.
18:19Listen, you're not going to believe this, but I knew there was a reason I knew that name.
18:22And it's not because of his public profile.
18:24Who?
18:24Wendell?
18:25Yep.
18:26Look at this.
18:27The guest book from mum's funeral.
18:30Look at this.
18:32There.
18:32He was there, Lacey.
18:39He went to mum's funeral.
18:40It's murder on the dance floor, hello.
18:51You going cereal and toast?
18:53Yeah, I'm bulking.
18:56A bit early, isn't it?
18:58The wedding isn't in until tomorrow.
19:00Yeah, I thought I'd give the new suit a test run before the big day, you know?
19:03You look great.
19:04At least I can trust someone for some honest feedback.
19:07No, I can't wait.
19:07You're going to miss me when I head off with Lacey in a couple of days?
19:09Yeah, however am I going to cope?
19:11You won't, obviously.
19:13Oh, well.
19:14Everybody's here.
19:16Who is this handsome man?
19:18Sonny Baldwin.
19:19Pleasure to meet you.
19:20Pleasure.
19:23It's interesting.
19:25What does that even mean?
19:26I'm not sure about what.
19:27Don't read into it.
19:28You said...
19:29I just thought I'd try the suit on, you know, before the wedding.
19:31Yes.
19:32Actually, you're going to have to bring me back a piece of cake.
19:36Are you not going?
19:37No.
19:37It's Harper.
19:39She can't really be left alone.
19:41And someone needs to take care of her, and that someone is me.
19:44Well, it makes two of us.
19:45I'm not going either.
19:46Oh, yay.
19:47Well, don't worry.
19:48You still have plenty of fun without me.
19:50Well, I will be sure to bring home two slices of cake.
19:52One for you as well, Brie.
19:53Hey, what are you two doing here?
20:04Just checking in on you.
20:06Seeing if you're going to work today.
20:08Hmm.
20:08Looks like he's not.
20:10Hey.
20:12What's going on?
20:13I'm just wondering when you got so good at lying to me.
20:16What are you talking about?
20:17Don't even try it, Dad.
20:18We know that you know who owns a Mercedes.
20:20It's Craig Wendell.
20:22You interviewed him.
20:22He's beyond sus, right?
20:24How do you know all this?
20:25Well, you're not the only one who knows how to run an investigation.
20:27What are you doing with this?
20:32Look.
20:38He was at the funeral.
20:40Yeah.
20:41So tell me, Dad, why would he go if he wasn't involved in some way?
20:45This has got to prove he's guilty, right?
20:55This is all circumstantial.
20:56None of it proves anything.
20:57Why are you doing this?
20:59Doing what?
20:59Pretending it means nothing.
21:01I called Wendell.
21:02I left a message warning him that if he didn't come clean, then I would take the story to the media.
21:07You threatened him?
21:08Yeah.
21:08We have no idea what Wendell is capable of, so you need to stay away from him and let me handle this.
21:15We need answers now.
21:16Well, I thought you just agreed to let Dad handle it.
21:18I said that I wouldn't go near Wendell, but that doesn't mean that me and you can't take matters into our own hands.
