Short filmTranscript
00:00Closer each day, I'm in no way
00:06My name is Leah Patterson, and Theo Poulos was my nephew.
00:14At least I got through it this time.
00:15And I couldn't have done it without you.
00:21Of course.
00:22You're helping someone get through the worst time of their life.
00:26Thank you for saying that.
00:28You've been with your mum?
00:28Yeah.
00:29Tana, she lied to you.
00:30Did you tell her where we live?
00:31She's not a stalker, Tana.
00:33She's my mother.
00:33Yet with a long history of drug abuse and neglect when it comes to children.
00:37She had a lot of questions about you.
00:38Did you tell her anything?
00:39Just the bare minimum.
00:40She's proud of you.
00:42She even said to send her love.
00:43Don't have disgust me with that woman ever again.
00:46I'm not letting your mum set foot near Archie.
00:48And how do you plan on stopping me?
00:49I'll apply for full custody if I have to.
00:51And who do you think is going to win a custody battle, Tana?
00:53I'm guessing it's not going to be the parents serving a suspended sentence for kidnapping.
00:56You know, Tana, probably better than I do.
00:59How do I get through to him?
01:01Well, maybe stop thinking about this like a fight that needs to be won.
01:04Tana's not your enemy.
01:05At the end of the day, you both want the same thing.
01:07You both want what's best for Archie.
01:09Hey, thought we were meeting at Salt.
01:23I totally forgot.
01:26Sorry.
01:27Okay.
01:29You all right?
01:30You look like you've seen a ghost.
01:31That's closer to the truth than you think.
01:33I'll leave you two to talk in private.
01:43Thanks, John.
01:46You want to talk about it?
01:50Harper.
01:51Okay, let's go.
01:54Go on.
01:57Tana, you can't just take off on a whim with my son without telling me where you're going.
02:01Just call me back.
02:03No, actually, just come home.
02:04I'm serious.
02:11Here we are.
02:12It's John.
02:15Aw, nice to see a married couple looking so lovely.
02:18As opposed to...
02:21How she didn't play a bit of a tiff before.
02:24Honeymoon's over then.
02:25Well, I hope not.
02:26Good.
02:26So, what are you two lovebirds up to?
02:28This one recorded her victim impact statement yesterday.
02:32Oh, darling.
02:33I can't imagine how hard that must have been.
02:35Yeah, it was rough.
02:37Mr Stewart tells me that you're getting on really well with Lacey.
02:42I couldn't have done it without all the support I've had lately.
02:46Which reminds me, we should invite Sunny over for dinner.
02:48To say thank you.
02:50Sunny!
02:51He's been amazing.
02:53I couldn't have done it without him.
02:54Uh, it's a little late notice, don't you think?
02:57He's probably got plans with Dana.
02:59Well, she can come as well.
03:02All right.
03:04Let's do it.
03:14I literally don't even know where to start.
03:17Like, I just have so many different thoughts running through my head.
03:22Well, take your time.
03:23I'm not going anywhere.
03:27You know how Harper went to find our mum?
03:31She found her.
03:32Yeah.
03:33And she's now convinced that she is clean.
03:39Could she be?
03:40No.
03:42No.
03:44I mean, you know your mum better than me, obviously.
03:48But it's been a long time.
03:52Harper's a social worker.
03:53Like, she would know what to look for.
03:55I'm just thinking of all sides here, you know.
03:58No, no, no.
03:58I know.
04:01But, like, let's just say, for argument's sake, she is clean.
04:05And she has turned her life around for herself.
04:07That doesn't then make her a good person.
04:12That doesn't mean that she has the right to come back into our lives.
04:15Yeah.
04:15That's 100% fair.
04:16Yeah.
04:17I just thought that I was free of her.
04:21And now Harper is so hell-bent on having her back.
04:24I...
04:24Is that work?
04:28I'm not used to saying that yet.
04:31Um, no, that's Leah.
04:33She's invited us around for dinner.
04:35But don't worry, I'm going to tell her we're busy, so...
04:47You're here late.
04:51Cool work, Palmer.
04:52You ought to try it sometime.
04:53Oh, I'd rather grab a late dinner at Salt before it shuts.
04:56But if you want a hand with that council funding,
04:59we could do it together over a pizza.
05:01Could we?
05:02Yeah, and that would make it a work dinner,
05:03and we could charge the club.
05:05Nice try, Palmer.
05:06Hey, well, sorry to interrupt.
05:07Have either of you seen Tani?
05:09No.
05:09I don't think he's around, love.
05:11One of the other trainers closed up today.
05:13How are you?
05:14All this fighting with your sister can't be good for you.
05:16Honestly, that's the least of my problems at the moment.
05:19Is there anything we can help you with?
05:22Uh, Tani took off with Archie,
05:24and he didn't say where they were going.
05:25I wouldn't worry too much, love.
05:27He's a great dad.
05:28If you see him, can you call me?
05:31Yeah, sure.
05:31Mm-hmm.
05:46Hey, honey, aren't you supposed to be setting up for your class,
05:54not doodling?
05:55Uh, I've still got a few minutes.
05:57More like seconds, actually.
05:59Yeah, I'm just trying to figure something out.
06:03Well, what is it?
06:04Is it another design for Max Board?
06:06Uh, it's just an idea.
06:08Come on, you were up half the night working on it.
06:10Surely I can see what you've come up with?
06:11Yeah, you can have a look when it's all done.
06:13Morning, everybody.
06:14Glad to see you're all here and ready to go.
06:16Grab your boards and let's head down to the beach.
06:25Morning, Alf.
06:26Hey.
06:26Usual?
06:27Yeah, thanks.
06:29Well, it's good to see her with a smile on her face.
06:32Touch wood.
06:34It's amazing what a little bit of time will do, mate.
06:37For both of us.
06:39There you go.
06:40Oh, thanks, love.
06:42Now, uh, you make sure you keep looking after her, eh?
06:44Yeah, I always do.
06:46I am.
06:47Hey, guys.
06:47See ya.
06:48Hey, guys.
06:49Uh, why don't you grab a stable?
06:50I'll get coffees.
06:50Sure.
06:51All right.
06:52Good day.
06:53Hey, what happened to you?
06:54I'd like you to pass on a home cook wheel.
06:56Ah, yeah.
06:56Like I said, something came up.
06:58Everything okay?
07:00Yeah, there's a lot going on at the moment.
07:01But, uh, look, sorry if it messed up your plans.
07:03Oh, mate, you know what?
07:04Don't worry about it.
07:05Yeah, all good.
07:06All great.
07:07On that note, I am going to go for a surf.
07:10Might see you down there.
07:11I'm going to go for a swim after Brekkie.
07:12Sweet.
07:13See you, bro.
07:13Bye.
07:14All right, could we please grab two flat whites to start?
07:16Absolutely.
07:17Thanks.
07:26Hey, have you seen Tanner?
07:46No, I've come here to ask you the same question.
07:48Well, I haven't.
07:49And they didn't come home at all last night?
07:52I've texted, sent voice messages, nothing.
07:56You don't think they've been in an accident or anything, do you?
07:58No, Tanner and I had a huge fight about me seeing my mum.
08:01Right.
08:02And then he brought up the idea of custody, and now he's disappeared with Archie.
08:05And he gave no indication where he might be headed.
08:07He just left this note saying Archie would be safe.
08:10Well, obviously, this is not good.
08:15I know Tanner can be hot-headed, but he'll bring Archie home when he cools down.
08:18He never should have taken him in the first place.
08:20I know, I know.
08:21But he's a reasonable bloke.
08:23I'm pretty sure you two will work this out when you talk about it.
08:35Harper obviously knows how much this is affecting you.
08:38Why don't you just talk to her again?
08:39Oh yeah, because that's worked out really well thus far.
08:43Just wear her down like you always do to me when I say no.
08:48This isn't a joke.
08:50I know, I know.
08:50Sorry.
08:51I just don't know how to make you feel better.
08:53It's fine.
08:54You don't have to.
08:55Honestly, I'm just going to go upstairs and relax and try not to say something terrible
08:59when I finally answer one of her calls.
09:02She's been calling you?
09:03She's been blowing up my phone all morning.
09:05Maybe just, maybe answer the call.
09:07I feel like you both need to just thrash this out.
09:10That's literally all we've been doing and I just don't want to go back into it yet.
09:14It's so triggering.
09:14I like, I've got to be bringing myself to listen to her messages.
09:18Okay.
09:19All right.
09:19I get it.
09:20I'll go home with you.
09:20No, you don't have to.
09:22You're going to go have your swim and I'm going to have my alone.
09:25Okay.
09:25All right.
09:25I'll see you later.
09:26Hey guys, I was thinking, I know you guys couldn't make dinner last night, but what about tonight?
09:32Oh, I think we're just going to have another quiet night in, just the two of us.
09:35Thank you though.
09:36Look, you still got to eat.
09:38And I'd really like to thank Sonny for being here for me lately.
09:42You're cool.
09:45I'm just not in the mood for socialising at the moment, sorry.
09:48Okay, another time then.
09:50Okay.
09:53Might as well see you later.
09:54Enjoy your swim.
10:13All right.
10:13The door is open.
10:17Hi, again.
10:19Hey.
10:21Um, Sonny's gone for a swim.
10:24Yeah, no, I know.
10:25I actually came to see you.
10:27I couldn't help noticing that you've been a little short with me lately and I just wanted
10:31to come and clear the air.
10:34About?
10:34Sonny.
10:36Okay.
10:37We've been spending a lot of time together lately.
10:40Yeah, no, I've noticed.
10:41I hope that's okay.
10:43He's been my rock, but I don't want you to feel uncomfortable in any way.
10:47No, I'm okay.
10:49Are you sure?
10:50He really cares about you.
10:51Yeah, I know.
10:53Okay.
10:54Um, good.
10:56I'm glad we cleared the air.
10:57Have you changed your mind about dinner?
10:59Let me know.
10:59Will do.
11:00Hey, man.
11:20Hey.
11:21Hey.
11:21Hey, look.
11:22Be honest with me.
11:23How upset was Leah that we didn't show up last night?
11:25Uh, she wasn't upset exactly.
11:27She just likes having you around.
11:30Yeah, I'm so sorry.
11:32Dana's just got a lot going on with her sister at the moment.
11:34When you were me, it was nice having her undivided attention again.
11:41Yeah, right.
11:42So, it all worked out then?
11:45Yeah, you know, we talked, we had a few laughs.
11:48It just felt like old times.
11:50Mate, that's, uh, that's great.
11:52Yeah.
11:53In fact, feel free to be unavailable more often.
11:57Well, I'm glad you said that because Dana and I just knocked back another dinner invitation.
12:02She asked you again?
12:04Yeah, for tonight.
12:05Had Leah take that?
12:07Yeah, she seemed fine.
12:10You know, she just wants to say thanks for all the help you've given.
12:13Like, she's doing well at the moment.
12:15Yeah, she, uh, she does actually seem a little more on top of things.
12:18I think doing the impact statement really helped her.
12:21Maybe she just wanted some one-on-one time with her man.
12:24Yeah.
12:25I'm hoping that works for Dana tonight as well.
12:27Tell you.
12:33Hey, baby.
12:34How is your me time?
12:38Right, I'm guessing not very great.
12:40Well, Leah showed up.
12:43She wanted a little check-in.
12:44Make sure that I wasn't feeling threatened by your very special, very close relationship.
12:51Wait, what?
12:52Mm-hmm.
12:53See, she seems to think that I'm some kind of insecure girlfriend.
12:59And I'm just wondering how she got there.
13:01Did you say something?
13:02No.
13:03No, absolutely not.
13:04No, I...
13:05Baby, I'm really sorry.
13:08I had no idea that she would do something like this.
13:12Okay.
13:12Just so you know, next time she comes to mark her territory, I'm sending her your way.
13:17There will not be a next time.
13:18I'm going to sort this out.
13:20Okay?
13:22Please.
13:22Yeah.
13:24Because, like, I know that she's hurting, but I have a lot on my plate right now.
13:29I'm not dealing with that also.
13:30Mm-hmm.
13:30I was just coming to find you.
13:48Not the best company today.
13:50You all right?
13:52Yes.
13:52Yeah, I'm fine.
13:53Thank you for being a shoulder yesterday.
13:55Yeah, that's fine.
13:56I'm just wondering, have you spoken to Harper today?
13:58No, I'm ignoring her calls, actually.
14:00I really think you should talk to her.
14:01Well, I'm not going to, okay?
14:03Because I'm angry.
14:03No, that's not about your mother.
14:04It's about Archie.
14:06What's wrong with Archie?
14:06Is she okay?
14:07Yeah, I'm sure he's fine, but Tane took off with him after he and Harper had some harsh
14:11words.
14:13Okay, where did they go?
14:14Nobody knows.
14:15That was last night.
14:16They still haven't turned up this morning.
14:17I just thought you should know.
14:24Hey, it's my break, so I thought you might be up for a picnic.
14:28I'm on the beach.
14:29I can't.
14:30There's too much stuff to do.
14:32Oh, well, that's okay.
14:33We can eat here and I can help you out.
14:35I've got work stuff.
14:36I've got to work on Mac's board.
14:39Just needs some space.
14:41Wow, okay.
14:42If this is what you're like when you're being arty, I reckon you can chuck it in.
14:46I'm sorry.
14:48I don't mean to be rude.
14:49I'm just frustrated.
14:52Okay, well, what's the issue?
14:53I need to capture everything about Mac in one board design.
15:01Her personality, everything that makes her great, but I just can't get it on paper.
15:09Dude, it's a surfboard, okay?
15:12Not the Mona Lisa.
15:13I bet whatever you've done isn't as bad as you think.
15:16Okay.
15:17Mm-hmm.
15:17What do you reckon?
15:23Hmm.
15:24Hmm.
15:26It's really interesting.
15:28Is it a bird?
15:30What would it be a bird?
15:31Well, Mr. Stewart, what does this look like to you?
15:36A dolphin?
15:38Maybe a wombat?
15:41Well, the only wombat around here, it's me.
15:43Your words, mate, not mine.
15:45Mm-hmm.
15:47Okay, okay, okay.
15:50What is it meant to be?
15:51Hmm?
15:52Well, it's not meant to be anything.
15:54It's meant to be abstract.
15:56It's supposed to make you feel something when you look at it.
15:58Okay.
15:59Well, I feel something.
16:01What?
16:02Confused?
16:04Why are you tripping up so much on this?
16:07You drew a beautiful portrait for my birthday.
16:09You do all the board designs here.
16:10I don't know.
16:12Maybe you're putting too much pressure on yourself.
16:15Yeah?
16:15Like, why don't you put it away and then come back to it later?
16:21You know what?
16:23I might do the trick.
16:26In the meantime, didn't you say something about the picnic?
16:32I did.
16:33Mm-hmm.
16:33Mm-hmm.
16:37It's good.
16:38I've never seen someone so happy to be back at work.
16:40It's been like that since I got here.
16:42Is that right?
16:43I'm just glad that everything feels like it's back in its right place.
16:47I feel the same way.
16:49Better get to work.
16:50Bye-bye.
16:51Thanks, Maz.
16:52See you tonight.
16:53Bye.
16:56Leah, can I have a quick word with you?
16:59Yeah, of course.
17:00Have a seat.
17:01What's up?
17:04Right.
17:05Um, you know that you'll always have my support, right?
17:10Yeah.
17:10Yeah.
17:11It's really appreciated.
17:12It's very important to me.
17:14But, uh, the thing is, I think I need to take a step back.
17:21At least for the time being.
17:23Is this because of Dana?
17:24No.
17:25No, totally my decision.
17:26Then I don't understand.
17:29I just, I have a lot going on in my life right now.
17:33Like a new job?
17:34Yeah, that's part of it.
17:35You know, it's not fair on Remy that my mind's just elsewhere all the time.
17:39But, I also need to prioritise Dana.
17:47So it is about her.
17:48She's just having a really hard time right now.
17:51So is Remy.
17:52And I just feel like I'm being pulled in too many directions.
17:55Oh, I'm sorry.
17:56I didn't mean to make you feel that way.
17:58No, no, no, no.
17:58It's okay.
17:59It's, you know, maybe you could let Justin in a little bit more.
18:05He loves you to bits.
18:07Wants to be there for you.
18:08Yeah, no, I can do that.
18:10Great.
18:12You sure you're okay?
18:13Yes, I'm fine.
18:14You need to focus on yourself.
18:15Don't worry about me.
18:18I mean, look, I'll still be around here all the time to eat.
18:20And, you know, you'll get sick of the side of me.
18:22Oh, that's not possible.
18:24Right, well, thank you for understanding.
18:28Bye.
18:28Bye.
18:39Hello?
18:40What are you doing here?
18:41I can't see how you are.
18:42Are you okay?
18:43John told you about Tana.
18:44Yeah.
18:45You must be freaking out.
18:46That's an instant.
18:48Are you off to go look for them?
18:50Do you want help?
18:51No, I was going to the police station.
18:54Right.
18:54Do you have to report to me for this?
19:00I know, I know.
19:01I have to.
19:03Let's just not overreact.
19:05Dana, my son is missing.
19:06I know he is, but he is with his dad, right?
19:09So let's just talk to Tana before we film police.
19:13I have tried to talk to him.
19:14He's not answering any of my calls.
19:16But that's probably just because of the way that you've been acting lately.
19:19You know, I've barely been able to talk to you.
19:20Dan, don't talk to me!
19:21I'm trying to...
19:26Papa, he's on a suspended sentence for kidnapping.
19:29You do this, he's going to be in huge trouble.
19:32So?
19:33You want that for Archie.
19:34You want his dad to go to prison.
19:40You're unbelievable.
19:51Are you okay?
20:08I think I've lost a friend.
20:11Oh, darling.
