Original subtitles

I love you too, Cain Curtis.

I don't regret a fucking thing.

TESS:I hate that you're going through this,

but what other choice do you have?

Just find this person and make them stop.

Name, date of birth.

You recognise any of these?

LINA:You filmed me and Dan in this fucking apartment?

I am gonna come clean with Cain.

You are gonna come clean with Clare.

- Let's just talk about this. -Don't!

Don't fucking touch me.

Lina!

With my best fucking friend?

It wasn't Axel.

Axel!

Clare!

AXEL:Why are you following me?

Eyes on the prize, champ.

Fuck.

Fuck.

Hello?

Hey.

What the fuck?

What the actual fuck?

It's OK.

It's OK.

Where is she?

Uh, upstairs.

I gave her some valium to calm her down.

- I can't believe it. - Mm.

I can't believe that he's fucking dead.

How did this happen?

- Lina. - Hm?

You OK?

Yeah?

These were recovered from his person.

I'm very sorry.

Do you know what happened?

We can't pre-empt the forensics, but it was raining last night.

It's possible that he slipped.

So you're saying it was an accident?

Right now, it appears that way.

I told him so many times. Don't go out when it's wet.

Does he go out to the cliffs often?

Yeah, every day.

He shoots content out there.

- Alone? -Yeah.

Was your husband depressed?

No.

-Unwell? -No.

Was he concerned about anything?

Axel was happy.

We have...everything.

I see.

Why are you asking?

In my experience, you never truly know

what someone is going through.

No, not Axel.

He wouldn't do that to us.

How did he seem when he left the house?

Did he say something odd, perhaps, in retrospect?

I make him sleep on the couch when he's had a few.

He'd been drinking?

Um, with Cain.

Uh, we...we were out together

with the old fire crew.

- Was it a big one? -Yeah, kinda.

What time did he leave?

It was about 11:00.

Did he say he was coming home?

I don't know. I...I think so.

And that was the last you saw or heard from him?

Mm-hm.

And...

OK.

Thanks for your time.

Uh, again, I am very sorry.

Hey.

Can you say something?

Please?

Please don't shut me out. I need you.

Go to your boyfriend.

Go to Dan.

Hey, just wait a second.

Cain.

Please talk to me.

OK, I know you're punishing me,

and I know I deserve it.

I'm a piece of shit.

So tell me what you need.

Just fuck off!

Please, Cain.

I'm trying to help.

Fucking go, Lina!

Fuck off!

Go!

That one.

Ah. This is from when we got engaged.

Oh, my God, I was such a bitch that day.

He made us hike for ages.

I kept complaining about my shoes.

Then we came over this rise to this amazing beach,

and he dropped to his knee.

Suddenly, it was the best day of my entire life.

I thought there'd be more.

Pass me his laptop.

Hey.

Come here. Come here, sweetheart.

Zara.

I just miss him, Mum, OK?

The fuck?

And it turns out...

Hmm.

-Lina. - Hey.

Hey.

Uh, Gabbie said you were off rotation.

Yeah, yeah, I twisted her arm, and I did a couple extra shifts.

It's no use sitting around, staring at walls.

Come on.

Oh, clean 'em up.

Hey. Hey, it's OK.

- It's OK. Just... - I'm fine.

Just... It's...

Just...just breathe.

- Say something. Say something. - I'm fine.

No, look, um, I don't think you should be here.

OK, no, you said, day one,

that when we get into the ambulance,

we leave our shit at the door.

I said I'm fine!

Hey.

What are... what are you doing here?

I heard what happened to Axel.

I figured I probably shouldn't call.

It just doesn't make sense.

I mean, I know I didn't know him as well as you do,

but he seemed like such a decent guy.

Hmm.

I mean, he...he was a decent guy. I...

He was the best. He...

He always looked out for Cain.

For both of us.

I don't know. Fuck.

That's what I thought, anyway.

Lina, I have to show you something.

I got this last night.

Dan.

Danny boy.

You fuckin' piece of shit.

What are you doing, you dog?

Not man enough to take my calls, are ya?

Were you pretending to be my friend?

Giving me advice and shit?

You're a fucking snake.

Well, I got something for you.

Run.

Run for the fuckin' hills, man.

Because if I ever fuckin' see you again,

I'm gonna fucking rip your...

I'm sorry.

He's just messed up.

But he'd never actually hurt you.

- He's not like... - I'm not worried about me.

OK, well, I can take care of myself.

Can you do me a favour?

Don't respond.

Forget about it.

- I'm sorry... - I don't care what's in stock.

I want Tasmanian oak, bronze fittings,

or I'm going elsewhere.

-Um... -Don't look at her.

Th-that's just not possible.

This is called a credit card.

Figure it out.

Pine casket. Really?

Swear to God.

Thought you might need some help.

- You OK? - I'm so sick of that question.

Yeah. Fair.

I'm gonna say this out loud before it drives me batshit.

Was something going on between you and Axel?

What do you mean?

I saw the message you sent him.

What were you doing in the NestShare?

It's a simple question.

Yeah, I...

It's just so stupid. I...

Axel was planning Cain's buck's and he asked for my help.

Right.

And you just forgot to mention that.

I honestly did.

Come on, don't treat me like an idiot.

I... Clare.

The only people

Axe truly, like, really truly loved...

..OK, were you and Zara.

Oh, you have to believe that.

Yeah, sorry. My head's all over the place.

Oh, it's OK. You don't need to apologise.

Uh, good news.

Tassie oak can work.

I, uh...

..I need to choose the linings.

MAN:You've got half time.

Oh, fuck.

Sorry about the mess.

I don't care about the mess.

Well, there's a first for everything.

OK. Fine.

Let me have it.

You know, I was imagining what I was gonna say to you.

But now that you're here,

what's the point?

So you're just gonna lock yourself away

and keep drinking?

I heard the voicemail you left for Dan.

You still seeing him?

Of course not.

No, it's alright.

You'll make a beautiful couple.

You can't just go around

threatening people like that, Cain.

See? You care about him.

I...I care about you.

Hey, it was a...a mistake.

It was a dumb fucking mistake

that I would do just about anything to take back,

but I can't.

So if you want to punish someone, punish me.

You know, I can't stop thinking about it.

Where?

How?

Was it on our bed?

Was he rough with you?

Did you blow him?

You made me think I was crazy.

You made me doubt myself.

And us.

But I was right.

Half right.

I mean, what made you think it was Axe?

- Like... - What does it matter?

He's gone.

I'm fucking sorry.

For what?

Did something happen between you two?

How'd you get that cut?

I don't remember.

Is that the actual truth?

Am I on trial or something?

No, you're not. I...

I'm trying to help.

I just want to understand.

I've been trying.

But...but there is nothing in there.

One minute, I'm drinking with Nate.

Then Axe is there.

We talk for a little bit and then he...he goes somewhere.

And then?

You motherfucker...

And then...and then nothing.

I keep drinking, and then next thing I remember,

I'm coming home and that's fucking it.

How the fuck did this happen?

Jase!

Oi!

Lina?

11am on the dot.

You almost gave me a heart attack.

Well, quit smoking, then.

Um...

So I was wondering if I could ask you a favour.

Is your missus still at the coroner's?

My wife now. Got married three weeks ago.

- No shit! Congrats. - Well, thanks.

Um, so do you reckon she could get me a look

at her recent intake?

Just as a quick one. No-one else needs to know.

Oh, Lina...

Please.

- Mate... - He...he was my friend.

"The zygomatic fracture of his left cheekbone

"is consistent with the position of the body upon discovery.

"Further lacerations, contusions and skull trauma

"suggest multiple points of impact

"with heavy, blunt objects."

What does that mean?

By the sounds of it, your friend suffered an awful fall.

You're done here.

Well, does it say what time he died?

Uh, "Swelling on the brain suggests between 3:00 and 5:00."

3:00 and 5:00. OK.

3:00 and 5:00.

Um...

Could any of his injuries have happened before the fall?

Meaning?

Meaning would they be able to tell the difference?

If they found something, it'd be in the report.

Hey, that's funeral food.

I'm just hungry.

- Crumbs. - Just...

- It's fine. - Sweetheart.

You look beautiful.

I need a thumb drive for the funeral.

Uh, check the boxes in the garage

and be ready to go in five.

-Need a hand? - Come on.

Hey. You ready?

Yeah. Come here.

Hey, can I ask you something about the night he died?

What...what time did you get home?

Are you serious?

Now?

I...

Mum's here.

- Hi. -Hi.

Sadly, a number of Axel's family couldn't be here today.

But they watch us via our live stream.

I'll now read out some of their messages.

This message comes from Uncle Charlie in the UK.

"My nephew was a hero.

"He didn't think twice about running into a burning house.

"He had courage and he had heart.

"Love you always, mate."

This next message is from Amy.

"My deepest love and condolences go to all of Axel's family,

"but especially his girls,

"Clare and Zara."

What are you doing?

Sorry.

And now, Clare, please, when you're ready.

Days like this make you realise how loved you are.

Of course, Axe was picky with whom he loved back.

Which is why he stopped inviting you blokes over.

Good men are hard to find.

After marriage take one, I gave up altogether.

But then, Axe rocks up with his beautiful heart.

He rescued me.

Both of us.

Right, sweetheart?

Axel was, um...

Axel...

I thought I knew who he was.

But now he's gone and all I have is questions.

This fear that maybe everything was a lie.

That maybe he was full of shit.

Now we're going to hear from

Catherine, Axel's mother.

You knew, didn't you?

And you didn't tell me.

Really sorry for your loss.

Ah. Thank you so much for coming.

Of course.

- Hey, I'll be right back. - TESS: OK.

Hey.

Do you need some help?

You're gonna hurt yourself.

The opposite, actually. I'm meditating.

And...medicating.

Please talk to me.

Why?

So you can lie out your arse again?

I...I never lied to you.

There you go, another one.

You don't even know you're doing it.

I...

Just tell me what's going on.

I found videos.

Weird, fucked-up videos of people in the apartment.

Including you and Dan.

Ah. Um...

Now I get it.

You found out, didn't you?

That's why you came over,

why you wanted to meet Axe at the NestShare.

OK. Yeah, yes.

I knew.

But you kept it from me.

To...

Well, I was... To protect you.

All these caring, supportive people

making decisions on my behalf.

I'm...I'm really sorry.

I don't know what to think.

Or who to trust. Or what to...

Frankly, I preferred it when I just thought you fucked him.

Just... Hey.

- 'Cause you owe me. - I don't owe you shit.

You...

Hey, Nate, hold up.

Send his Rottweiler in, did he?

What's going on with you two?

Honey, duke it out amongst yourselves, alright?

But I'm not losing my licence.

What do you mean? What happened?

What happened is your idiot hubby

copped me a speeding ticket.

I'm all out of demerits.

- I'm gonna lose my job. - When?

- Talk to Cain. - Nate.

When?

The other night.

When we were out with, you know, Axe.

He drove somewhere?

Yeah. Don't ask me where.

Says he woke up in a ditch.

Dropped it back with a massive fucking dent in it.

Listen, don't tell him I stitched him up, alright?

- He's already a wreck. - Yeah.

Uh, send me the fine, OK?

- I'll take care of it. - Yeah, sure.

Hey, have you seen Cain?

What's going on?

Um...

Lina. Hi.

Hi.

Uh, what are... what are you doing here?

Uh, just came to pay my respects.

Are you OK?

Yeah, uh, um, uh...

Just give me a minute.

Hey.

Dan, hi.

I'm so sorry. Uh...

I, uh...I didn't know him very well,

but, uh, he...he really seemed like a very generous man.

Thank you. I appreciate that.

- Mm. -Oi! Dickhead!

What are you doin'?

- OK. - The fuck did I say, huh?

What the fuck did I say?!

What the hell is wrong with you?

Calm down.

Clare, I'm sorry. I shouldn't be here.

- I'm gonna go. -Yeah.

Go on.

I'm very sorry for your loss, too, Cain.

Oh!

Whoa! Hey.

Come on.

Fuckin' get off me!

Get off me! Get off me!

OK.

The fuck is everyone looking at?!

Cain!

Ah.

How does it look, Doc?

Stop moving.

Alright.

What's your name again?

Dan Moore.

Date of birth?

Lina, I'm not concussed.

What?

Being back in this house again

reminds me of the first time I met you.

Still want to get on that flight?

I'm leaving.

For good.

I'm gonna pack up my stuff tomorrow morning.

Where are you gonna go?

Uh, motel.

Sort some stuff out.

Then, uh...

I don't know.

See where the universe takes me.

That sounds pretty nice.

In another life, right?

What are you gonna do?

Probably go home.

Sleep for a week.

-That's not what I meant. - I know what you meant.

He's volatile.

Look at my face.

I, uh...

I'm gonna say something.

And I just...

I just need you to tell me that I'm crazy.

OK.

Cain thought I was cheating on him with Axe.

And the night Axe died,

he was out...on a bender,

and, uh, he didn't get home until 5:30 in the morning.

OK.

The autopsy says Axel died

between 3:00 and 5:00am.

Hold on, you think Cain had something to do with it?

I don't know. I asked him.

Like, I asked him where he was and he says he can't remember.

Like, anything.

But if you add the timing, motive,

the autopsy, the cut on his head,

his history...

I don't know what to say. Um...

Sorry. No.

Everything's just gotten so fucked up.

Hey, I...I think that...

..no-one knows the man he is better than you.

Sure you and Zara will be OK?

I sent her to Dad's,

but I have plenty of cleaning

and shellfish to keep me company.

We can stay and help.

I just want everybody out.

CAIN:I really messed up today, didn't I?

Tough act to follow after my stirring eulogy.

Nah, Axe would have loved the fireworks.

Look, a guy moves in on your missus, maybe he deserves it.

Cut yourself some slack.

I don't know.

One minute I hate her and then...

..the next, I miss her.

That doesn't make any sense.

It doesn't.

But the people you love always let you down.

Hey, what was that at the funeral?

Just being dramatic.

That's what Axe loved about you.

Did he ever tell you why he finally quit the fireys?

Mm-mm.

So we're up in Katoomba, right?

In this narrow valley.

It's the hottest I've ever been in my life.

Shitting bricks.

Axe comes up to me and he's like,

"Ah, been here before, mate.

"Keep your visor down. Chin up. You'll be right."

I never understood how someone could be that brave.

Anyway, the next day he waltzes in and just hangs up his helmet.

Didn't get it at first.

Tried to argue him out of it.

And then I realised, the weekend before...

..you guys went to Newy.

That was...

..that's when he met Zara.

He thought the world of you guys.

Wouldn't stop smiling every time he spoke of you.

Sorry.

You OK?

Not really.

Hmm.

Fuck.

What is it?

Speeding fine for Nate.

It's two blocks from Axel's apartment.

What does that mean?

It means he followed Axe and lied about it.

Lina.

You know, sometimes you want to believe a thing so bad.

You just ignore what's been right in front of you

the whole time.

Can you turn off here?

BRENNAN:So, Cain,

this isn't your first time in this position, is it?

Pulled your file.

It says you attacked a guy when you were 23.

Broke his cheekbone and your wrist in three places.

Two inches higher, would've been dead.

He was spiking girls' drinks.

So you're the good guy, is that it?

What about Axel?

You thought he was sleeping with your fiancée.

I mean, jeez, I can't imagine what that must have felt like.

I know you followed him that night.

You confronted him and you snapped.

Just like this dickhead all those years ago.

Except, this time, you kept on hitting.

We found blood

in the boot of Axel's car.

Looks like you tried to clean it up.

Help me fill in the gaps.

And please, for your own sake,

don't tell me you don't remember.

Lina!

What are you doing here?

Nowhere else to go.

You?

Um, it felt wrong to leave it unfinished.

Um, then stay.

Finish.
