Short filmTranscript
00:00There's another car, it's coming the other way.
00:10It's going too fast, it's swerving.
00:13Can you describe the vehicle?
00:14It's a great Mercedes, the C&M on the license plate.
00:17That was the tech team.
00:18They traced a vehicle based on the partial plates I remembered.
00:21Councillor Craig Wendell, you must be Sergeant David Lane.
00:24Thanks for coming in.
00:25Where were you on the day of the accident?
00:26Well, I would have to talk to my assistant.
00:29I mean, can you remember where you were two years ago?
00:32I was receiving the worst phone call of my life.
00:34You knew the victim.
00:35What makes you ask that?
00:36In my line of work, we learn to read people.
00:39I can relate to that.
00:41Being elected official, we have calendars and schedules around that time, right?
00:46I don't have that information on hand, but I can get my team to look into it.
00:51It was like he recognised me.
00:52When he saw me, he looked scared.
00:54If this guy owned the car that you saw, he is probably the guy who killed Mum.
00:57And we've got to figure out who he is.
00:59And we've got to.
01:17Shh.
01:18Shh, shh, shh.
01:20I didn't say anything.
01:23What's all this about?
01:24I'm getting in touch with my body.
01:27Oh, I don't know for that.
01:30I'm trying to feel if I have any symptoms yet or not.
01:32And before you say anything, I know it's too soon to tell
01:35if the implant's taken or not.
01:37I just, I really feel like we'll be lucky this time.
01:44Think I'm bloated at all?
01:47Not even a little bit?
01:50I'm excited too.
01:52But I think it's important that we just stay patient.
01:56Okay?
01:57I know.
01:58And we will be.
01:59And I will be.
02:01Give me your hand.
02:05Freeze with me.
02:09You're going up.
02:22Councillor Wendell, Sergeant Langham, just following up on our conversation earlier.
02:37Yeah, I was hoping you've had time to check your diary and staff roster for the date we discussed.
02:48Yeah, I appreciate you're busy.
02:50But as I mentioned, this is a very serious matter.
02:53This case has a fatality involved.
02:59And you'll get back to me today?
03:02Great.
03:03I look forward to hearing from you then.
03:07Thanks, Councillor.
03:08Are you insane?
03:20I'm not going to get caught this time.
03:21And if I'm lucky, there'll be a different officer on duty.
03:23You can't do this.
03:24You're just going to go and, what, lie your way into Dad's office?
03:27I need you to get Dad away from the station.
03:29Are you kidding me?
03:30Nick and Joe.
03:31Any other ideas, feel free to share them.
03:34Hi, you're home early.
03:35Yeah, got through my stuff a bit quicker than I thought.
03:38Hey, how you doing? Good to see you again.
03:39Hey.
03:41So, what are you up to?
03:43Uh, we're just going to go for a walk.
03:46Yeah.
03:47Cool.
03:49See ya.
03:50See ya.
03:51Hey, um, you two aren't fighting again, are you?
03:55No, no, just talking.
03:56It's complicated, though.
03:57I don't really want to mess this up.
03:59Yeah, I get that.
04:00See you back here.
04:01Mm-hmm.
04:29Hey, Joe.
04:30I'm kind of busy going this way.
04:31No, sorry.
04:32I, um, I need you to come home.
04:33Why, what's happened?
04:34Are you okay?
04:35Yeah, I'm all right.
04:36Just...
04:37Sorry, no, I'm not all right.
04:38I just...
04:39Dad, dad, dad, dad.
04:40Joe's having a panic attack.
04:41I really don't know what to do.
04:42I...
04:43We just need you to come home now.
04:44Lacey, I need you to stay with her.
04:45Okay?
04:46I'm leaving now.
04:47If you get a call from Craig Wendell's office, please.
04:48If you get a call from Craig Wendell's office, please.
04:49I'm leaving.
04:50I'm leaving.
04:51I'm leaving.
04:52If you get a call from Craig Wendell's office, let me know.
04:53Yep.
04:54Will do.
04:55Can't decide which way.
04:56No, sorry.
04:57I need you to come home.
04:58Why, what's happened?
04:59Are you okay?
05:00Yeah, I'm all right.
05:01Just...
05:02Sorry, no, I'm...
05:03I'm not all right.
05:04I just...
05:05Dad, dad, dad.
05:06Joe's having a panic attack.
05:07I really don't know what to do.
05:08We just need you to come home now.
05:09Lacey, I need you to stay with her.
05:10Okay?
05:11I'm leaving now.
05:15If you get a call from Craig Wendell's office, let me know.
05:18Yep.
05:19Will do.
05:20Can't decide between the blue dress or the flirty yellow one.
05:25It'd be good to compliment each other for photos.
05:28Justin?
05:29Justin?
05:30Yeah?
05:31What are you wearing for the wedding?
05:33Suit.
05:34Oh, you guys look so easy.
05:36Hey, how'd you go with the garrets?
05:38All good.
05:39Placed the vault gauge on the Falcon and I wanted the spare parts.
05:42Great.
05:43I could not get everything done without your help, mate.
05:45Yeah, don't you forget it.
05:46How was your meeting with Remy?
05:47Yeah, it was really good.
05:48I'm just crunching the numbers now and everything.
05:50We need to get the label up and running.
05:51Nothing says rock and roll like a budget.
05:53I still get to do the good stuff.
05:55You and Lacey should come to this gig tomorrow night.
05:57I'll buy the drinks.
05:58Please say yes, I don't have to.
05:59Okay.
06:00Yeah, sure.
06:01Just let me check with her.
06:02Um, Marilyn said that she was in here again with Joe.
06:05That must be a good sign.
06:06Yeah, it's definitely a step forward.
06:09Um, I need to close up the coffee cart.
06:11Do you want to come for a walk?
06:12Yeah, sure.
06:13Actually, I've got an idea.
06:14I want to run past you.
06:15Really?
06:16See you guys soon.
06:17Bye.
06:18Yeah.
06:21Joe?
06:22Okay?
06:26Talk to me.
06:27What happened?
06:28I just started thinking about the accident and it just all got on top of me.
06:32Okay, okay.
06:33Let's sit down.
06:37I'm sorry, Dad.
06:38Hey, hey, hey.
06:39You have nothing to apologise for.
06:42So, any idea what brought this on?
06:45You're right.
06:46I think the hypnotherapy is really stirring things up.
06:50Well, you've been really strong.
06:52You're going to get through this.
06:53Okay?
06:57Where's your sister?
06:59She had to leave.
07:00Well, I asked her to wait.
07:01What's so important that she couldn't be here for you?
07:06Oh, so Dad's not here?
07:08Yeah, no, sorry.
07:09I'm not sure how long it'll be.
07:10That's such a shame I'll miss him.
07:11I just need to really quickly grab something from his office.
07:14I've lost my house key again and he always leaves his spare here and...
07:19I don't know what drives him crazy, but...
07:20If you don't mind, you might have to wait till he gets back.
07:21Oh, I would, but I've really got somewhere I need to be.
07:24And I'm not going to be home till late.
07:25And I don't really want to get home and knock on his door at 1am.
07:29Have you seen Dad's grumpy side?
07:32It's okay.
07:34You can say it.
07:35Your father's always fair.
07:37Totally.
07:38Look, why don't we just call him?
07:39That'd be easier.
07:40You know what?
07:41Um, it's okay.
07:42You can get through.
07:43Are you sure?
07:44Thank you so much.
07:45I appreciate that.
07:46I'll shoot him a text now and let him know.
07:47Yeah.
07:51I'm sorry.
07:53Yeah.
07:54I have an great delay station.
07:56I'm sorry.
07:57How can I help you?
07:58Hey.
07:59Yeah, absolutely.
08:00Yeah.
08:01Yeah, no worries.
08:06Yeah.
08:07Yeah, no worries.
08:10Yep.
08:11Yeah, no worries.
08:12Yeah.
08:21Hey, are you busy tomorrow?
08:41I'm working in the morning, but then I'm free.
08:43Why?
08:44I was thinking of heading into Yubby Creek to grab a suit for the wedding.
08:47And you've always got great taste.
08:48Are you trying to butter me up?
08:49No, it's the truth.
08:51Well, in that case, I have to say yes.
08:53But Lacey isn't free.
08:54I didn't ask.
08:56It's great she's spending so much time with Jo, but they're both so stressed out.
08:59You said there was new information on the crash.
09:02Has David made any progress?
09:03I don't know, but Lacey needs a break.
09:05Which is the other thing that I wanted your opinion on.
09:08I'm thinking of booking a holiday for her and I after the wedding.
09:11What do you reckon about Tasmania?
09:12Oh, Tasmania's beautiful.
09:14I'll be nice for you guys just to get away and relax.
09:16Yeah, that's the plan.
09:18Hire a car, go around exploring.
09:20Oh, Lacey will love that.
09:22Does that mean that you're going to be away for your birthday?
09:25Yeah, it might be.
09:26Another little celebration then.
09:27I just want to book everything in first before I tell her.
09:30Make it a surprise.
09:31You really love it, don't you?
09:33Yeah, I do.
09:34So, you mentioned the hypnotherapy.
09:41Have you remembered anything else from the accident?
09:44No, I haven't.
09:46What about you?
09:47Any news on the investigation?
09:49No, nothing.
09:51You will keep chasing this, right?
09:53Of course I will.
09:54Who's that?
10:00It's just Lacey checking in.
10:03The least she can do after disappearing before?
10:06Dad, she said she had a work thing she couldn't get out of.
10:09I'm just happy you two are talking to each other.
10:12Me too.
10:14Because I am worried I'll stuff it up.
10:16How?
10:16I don't know.
10:18If I say the wrong thing or disagree with her on something,
10:23I'll lose her again.
10:25We both will.
10:25You can't live your life waiting for the axe to fall.
10:28It's going to be okay.
10:31You should get back to work.
10:34No, there's no hurry.
10:35Dad, I promise I'm alright.
10:38Maybe some alone time will be good for me.
10:40You can call me if you need anything.
10:47I will.
10:48So, I've been thinking about the wedding.
11:10Have you decided what you're going to wear yet?
11:13No.
11:14Well, isn't it time you started thinking about that?
11:16It's not my day.
11:18No one's going to be looking at me.
11:19I'm going to be looking at you.
11:22The last time I saw you all suited and booted
11:24was at Salt by the Sea.
11:26Our first kiss, actually.
11:28Mm-hmm.
11:29Definitely not our love.
11:33This wedding's going to be so perfect.
11:36Cash and Eden are going to be really happy together.
11:38It will be.
11:40It has to be.
11:42Hey, is this about the wedding?
11:44No, I don't know.
11:46My mood's all over the place.
11:47I don't know.
11:48Maybe it's a pregnancy almost kicking in.
11:51I'd be probably too soon to hope on that.
11:53Hey, you can feel however you want to feel.
11:56Okay.
11:57Yeah.
11:58Yeah.
11:58Sergeant Langham.
12:14Good afternoon.
12:15I'm calling to request you cease all communication with my client.
12:19Hold on.
12:19Who am I talking to?
12:20My name is Kim Knight, and I represent Councillor Craig Wendell.
12:24My client...
12:24Right, well, I was just about to give him a call, actually.
12:26No doubt he's explained.
12:28I'm investigating a road for telly, and he was in the vicinity that day.
12:31Let's get this straight.
12:32Your partial plate does not place my client at the...
12:35It's not conclusive, no.
12:37Sorry.
12:38When did the counsellor decide to seek legal representation?
12:41When you started unfairly targeting him, based on no evidence whatsoever.
12:45Hold on, hold on.
12:45Let's be clear.
12:47I'm not targeting your client.
12:48I'm exploring all possibilities.
12:50I disagree.
12:51And I think you'll find the law is on Craig's side.
12:55Noted.
12:57Anything else?
12:58Do not contact my client again.
13:00You want to talk to him, you go through me.
13:02Understood?
13:04Understood.
13:06I'll be in touch, Mr. Knott.
13:14So what exactly did you tell him?
13:16Well, I told him about our evil plan to break into the station.
13:19What?
13:20I lied.
13:21Obviously.
13:22Told him I had to leave for work.
13:24Then you bought it?
13:25Of course you did, but you made me feel even worse.
13:27I'm not going to lie to him again.
13:29If this is what it takes for you and me to have a relationship, I'm sorry.
13:31I just can't go there.
13:32Okay, it's okay.
13:33You don't want to cross that line.
13:35I get it.
13:36You do?
13:37Yeah, but I think that you should take a step back.
13:40I'll handle it.
13:42I'm sure you can, but I think we should both take a step back.
13:45Why?
13:46I want us to be a family again, and we can't do that if we start off by not being honest with Dad.
13:50You said it yourself.
13:51He's good at what he does.
13:52He's a dog with a bone who'll find the answers we need.
13:54Yeah, I know that he's going to keep trying.
13:56Then let's just leave him to it.
13:59Please.
14:03Okay.
14:05Lily, you let this go?
14:06Yeah, you're right.
14:08Dad's a cop?
14:10We'll figure it out.
14:11I didn't even ask.
14:12How'd you go to the station?
14:13Did you buy anything?
14:14Oh, it was a bust anyways.
14:16It was just some...
14:17a roster and some old paperwork.
14:19So...
14:20Anyways, I said that I'd meet Theo at home, so I'm going to go.
14:25Are we good?
14:27Yeah.
14:27Bye-bye.
14:30Tell Theo I say hi.
14:31Okay, I promise I'm not getting ahead of myself.
14:49It just feels like every ache and every twinge, I'm wondering if it's a sign that I'm pregnant.
14:54It is hard to think about anything else.
14:57Oh, it's so impossible.
14:59Would helping me find a suit for the wedding serve as an adequate distraction?
15:03I just feel really tired.
15:05Maybe a bit nauseous.
15:07Okay.
15:08Could be the progesterone.
15:09I mean, the clinic did warn me about that.
15:11But why don't we go get a pregnancy test and find out together?
15:15Are you sure?
15:16Why not?
15:17Otherwise, you're going to keep torturing yourself.
15:18You want to know now, too, don't you?
15:22You want to know anything?
15:23Oh.
15:24Okay.
15:25Let's go.
15:29Jo.
15:34Jo, you home?
15:39Hey.
15:39Hey.
15:40I was wondering where you got to.
15:42I met up with Lacey again, actually.
15:45How'd that go?
15:46Well, I took your advice.
15:49I opened up to her about how I'm feeling.
15:52And?
15:53I was expecting her to blow up at me, but I think she actually listened.
15:57Well, that sounds positive.
16:00Who knows?
16:02Please keep going this way.
16:03Maybe we'll actually be a family again.
16:05I know how happy your mum would be to hear you say that.
16:11Anyway.
16:12Don't want to be late for work.
16:14You sure you want to work after the day you've had?
16:17Dad.
16:18I promise I'm fine.
16:20Okay?
16:20Superintendent, what can I do for you?
16:36Yes, I'm aware the case is closed.
16:43With respect, sir, I can explain.
16:45Wendell has serious questions he needs to answer.
16:49first, sir.
16:50I've seen a few.
16:50All right.
16:51I've seen a few.
16:52Of course, what come the solved one for you?
17:10After all.
17:12Oh, my God.
17:14No.
17:14Hey. Sorry, I've been a while.
17:25It's cool.
17:27Just catching up with Leah. She says hi.
17:30Oh, you guys must have had a lot to talk about. Anything interesting?
17:33No, not really. What about you?
17:35I've just been looking at clothes that I don't really need to buy.
17:39Mmm. How are things with Jo?
17:42Yeah. It's tricky, but we just need to keep talking. We'll work it out.
17:50Proud of you.
17:51I know. I'm incredible.
18:03Lunch, Supreme.
18:05Oh, I think that one is mine, mate.
18:09Great mind, single life. Thanks.
18:12You're welcome to join me and Leah over at our place.
18:15Nah, I should get an early night. Thanks anyway.
18:18That day work?
18:20I've had better.
18:22What's going on?
18:26Strictly between us.
18:31Got a lead on a driver who was in the area where my wife died.
18:34Do you think they had something to do with it?
18:39I think they caused the crash.
18:42It's going to be a huge relief for you all.
18:46Will be if I can prove it.
18:47You haven't spoken to them yet?
18:49Yeah, I did.
18:50Then the lawyer rang my boss and complained.
18:53I've been ordered to cease all inquiries.
18:55What? Why?
18:56It's a conflict of interests.
19:01It's not appropriate for me to be involved.
19:03They're going to follow it up, they're wrong.
19:05It won't be a priority,
19:06especially since I currently have no evidence.
19:11Sorry, mate.
19:13Yeah, so am I.
19:13Is this real or just a dream?
19:37Every day it's slowly sinking in.
19:42Everything we built got torn apart by guilt.
19:50All the cracks starting to show.
19:55Are we slowly just losing hope?
20:01I'm sorry, Christa.
20:06I don't want to let you down.
20:08And I don't want to let our beautiful girls down.
20:14Hey, try not to be too disappointed
20:28if it's a negative result.
20:30Like I said, we've still got plenty of time
20:31to get a positive this round.
20:37Mackenzie.
20:38Congratulations.
20:55You're going to be a dad.
20:58Stop it.
20:59Today is the day.
21:11I am so excited.
21:12Eden's hands is going to be epic.
21:13Cash's buck's pretty solid too.
21:15Oh, yeah?
21:16Keep telling yourself that, chump.
21:17Okay, and when you say it's a gentleman's club,
21:20hey, don't worry, it's a classy place.
21:22I reckon we've spent way too much time
21:24worrying about what other people are expecting of us.
21:26This is our wedding.
21:26We should be able to say and do whatever we want.
21:28Where are we going?
21:29Let's go.
21:29Look, you'll see.
21:30You'll see.
21:30Let's go.
21:31Let's go.
21:31All right.
21:32All right.
21:32All right.
21:33All right.
