All language subtitles for Lightning Point s01e16 Family Ties

Previously on Lightning Point. We're in
a long time to get you back here.

Pigtails, how embarrassing.

I don't know.

Pigtails are cute.

You fell into the plasma sphere. When
you're together, you cancel each other

out. But when you separate, you affect
gravity.

That's it.

I've blown it with joy.

Amber, nothing's floating.

Must have worn off.

Coming for Christmas?

The water's perfect today.

I can't. Mum just called. She's got a
surprise waiting for me at home.

Dad! Hey, gorgeous!

How's my favourite daughter?

I'm your only daughter, Dad.

That's right, and you know why?

Because you knew... That I could never,
ever possibly have another one as

perfect as you.

I've missed you so much.

Me too, sweetheart.

So, when did you go back? How long can
you stay?

Well, only two days, unfortunately. I
know there was no way I was going to

miss your birthday.

It's your birthday?

Oh, Dad, these are my friends, Kiki and
Zoe.

Hey, girl. Nice to meet you. Are you
guys all school friends?

Uh, no.

They're, um, distant cousins. Well, not
really cousins.

Aunt Margie's sister's daughter.

You haven't seen them in a long, long
time.

Anyway, they're staying with us for a
while.

Oh, cool.

Right, I'm due at the station.

I'll see you all later.

Great surprise, Mum.

I knew you'd like it.

Righto, birthday girl.

It's your day. Where do you want to
start?

With another hug.

Oh, yes!

You've been out there for hours, man.

And I needed a workout.

Forget about the horse.

I need to talk to you.

So talk.

I can't figure you out.

A lot of people say that about me.

Your conflict's going to go.

No, seriously, what's the deal with you?

One minute you're totally amped up to
find evidence of life outside the

universe. Next minute you've dropped the
whole idea.

I haven't dropped it. Then how come
you're not in there strapped to your

computer chasing aliens?

Because there's nothing to chase.

They're out there and it's up to us to
find them. If they were out there, then

somebody would have seen something and
reported it.

There's nothing going on.

You call a boat in the cane field,
nothing going on. We don't know how that

got there. They put it there.

I know it's weird, Brandon. It's more
than weird. But nothing's happened

since. So what, I'm just supposed to
forget about everything we've seen?

You're the one who told me they're
trying to communicate with us.

Police searched that boat.

They didn't find anything.

I don't care.

We can't close the door on this.

So let's just wait and see.

I'm tired of waiting.

You got me again. You've been
practising.

Yep, I promise.

Well, I seem to remember I was
unbeatable last time.

How long ago was that?

Six months and twelve days ago,
approximately.

Six months. Where did that go?

Mind you, I can't believe you're going
to be 17 tomorrow.

Seems like only yesterday you were
turning five.

You guys probably know Amber always
knows what she wants.

Do you remember your big birthday party?

Dad, they don't want to hear about this.

Yes, we do.

Amber decided that what she wanted most
of all was to kiss Luca. Poor kid didn't

know it hit him.

No way!

Ah, you remember. He ran home crying.

Trust me, I won't be doing that again.

So, uh, any boys currently on the
horizon I should know about?

Not really.

There is one.

His name's Josh.

Oh, Josh. Been holding out on me.

He's just a friend.

And anyway, I've been kind of tied up,
what, with school and surf classes?

Yeah, I hear you're getting pretty good
out there.

I'm OK, I guess.

Well, how about you show me what you can
do?

Maybe later.

Yeah.

Maybe later. It's all right. I
understand.

You're probably scared.

As if!

OK. Do you want to surf?

Let's do it.

You guys want to join us?

Sure.

Sergeant Mitchell.

Brandon. Can I help you with something?

I was wondering if there's been any, you
know, weird reports of anything lately.

What kind of weird report?

Like strange light, glowing shades, that
kind of stuff.

Brandon, I know the reappearance of your
parents' boat. It's been a shock for

you. It has to mean something.

Look, we went over it and couldn't find
anything.

Or any reason why it should just
suddenly turn up.

Someone in Lightning Point must have
seen something.

Well, we did have a report from Harry
Dean down at the boatyard.

Yeah? He claimed he saw a strange light
on the boat.

What sort of light?

You'll have to ask him that.

Listen, Harry's lived alone down at the
boatyard for many years.

I wouldn't exactly call him the most
reliable witness.

I'd still like to talk to him.

Your dad's a great surfer.

Taught him everything he knows.

There's something I don't understand.

Your parents seem to be good friends.

They are.

Then why did they split up?

Sometimes things just don't work out
with people.

Things?

What kind of things?

Like... Dad is a wanderer.

He doesn't like staying in the one spot.

But Mum would be happy living in
Lightning Point forever.

Feels better.

Where's that towel?

Thank you.

Right, who's up for a juice?

Yeah?

Thanks.

How long you guys been surfing?

Not long, but...

We researched it thoroughly before we
came here.

There's no ocean where we can't fall.

Well, I tell you, a couple of country
girls, you're very good.

You're very good, considering your age.

Thank you, I think.

Dad was a national champion when he was
younger.

He manages some of the young surfers on
the pro circuit.

I'm based in Hawaii.

He gets to go to all the top surfing
breaks around the world.

He must have surfed some awesome waves.

Where's your favourite place? The best
place ever.

Best place ever?

Right here today.

I wish you could stay longer, Dad.

Yeah.

Actually, I need to talk to you about
something. Will you guys excuse us for a

minute? Sure.

Would you like to take a walk?

You're being all mysterious.

I'm being mysterious?

My daughter has two friends move in with
her and doesn't even mention them.

I guess I just sort of forgot to.

Yeah.

You know, Lightning Point is so
beautiful, but the whole world out there

to explore.

What's this about, Dad?

Happy birthday, sweetheart.

You know it's not until tomorrow.

I know. I didn't want to wait any
longer.

The ticket to Hawaii?

No way.

A holiday in Hawaii.

Well, actually, I was kind of thinking
more than just a holiday.

I want you to come live with me.

Thanks, girl.

Now, your mum and I have discussed it,
and we both feel it would be a terrific

opportunity.

Living in a different country is a great
experience, and I'll really miss you,

but I think if you want to go, then you
should.

I've never even seen Hawaii.

Oh, you'd love it. It's such a beautiful
place.

It would be amazing.

And it would give us a chance to finally
spend some quality time together.

I know, that would be so great.

So is that a yes?

Look,

you know, you don't have to decide right
now.

Yeah, of course not. Mum's right. I
mean, it's totally fine if you need to

think about it.

I'm sorry, I've got to take in.

Hey, don't stress, sweetheart.

Libby, that was delicious.

You always were the whiz in the kitchen.

What, you mean when I'm not out fighting
crime, eh?

with the new um to play that old thing

what

do

you think she'll do i think she'll say
she wants to go to hawaii with her dad

and i think she should too

I had no idea she missed him so much.

It's amazing how a human family who
lives apart

can be so happy together.

I guess they love each other.

Such displays of affection between
parent and offspring should be

encouraged on Lumina.

Where do you think it's been all these
years?

This is a boat yard, not a museum.

You're just going to stand here and
stare, you're going to... It's mine.

What?

The boat.

Belongs to my parent.

I've been thinking.

Me too.

Whatever happens, we can't stand in
Amber's way.

She should be with her dad.

If that's what she wants.

She's done enough for us already.

Guess that doesn't leave us with too
many options.

I think it only leaves us with one.

Felt her out myself.

Made her see-worthy.

Did you know my parents?

I knew your dad since he was a little
boy.

What about Mum?

She wasn't in Lightning Point all that
long.

What was she like?

Quiet, but quick to smile.

I don't remember anything about them.

They always looked happy, and they loved
doing things together.

Surfing, sailing.

I need to know what happened to them the
day they disappeared.

I can tell you that.

I was there.

They were sailing off the lighthouse
point.

In minutes, this storm blew in,
lightning like you wouldn't believe, and

they were caught in the middle of it.

And then I saw a flash of light go up
from the boat, and a spaceship appeared.

Another flash of light, and they were
gone.

Why was it never investigated?

Why didn't anyone tell me this before?

Because I never reported it.

Yeah, I know. I'm sorry, son. I should
have said something.

Don't think I didn't consider it, but...
Well, nobody was going to believe what

I'd say.

Half the town thinks I'm loony as it is.

Yeah, I guess they wouldn't have
believed you either a few weeks ago.

I wish I hadn't seen it.

I wish this boat hadn't turned up again,
too.

Maybe I can help you out.

I'm all packed.

Me too.

We should probably recharge before we
go.

Could be a while before we get another
chance.

You there, sweetheart?

Hi, Dad.

There you are.

I was over at Lucas.

I just wanted to catch you before the
celebrations to give you this.

Dad, you've given me too much already.

Yeah, it was hard to find, but it's
special, and so are you.

I love it.

I'll be back in a sec. I've got to
change into something for my new

bracelet. Okay, you take your time.

Dad was about to come in here.

I got home just in... What's going on?

We were... Leaving.

Your dad really wants you to go with
him.

We thought you wouldn't accept his offer
if we were here.

So you were just going to leave without
saying goodbye?

Not exactly.

You've already done so much for us.

But we've relied on your hospitality too
long.

Where are you planning on going?

That's the plan still in development.

You can't go.

At least not yet.

It's my birthday.

It's not allowed.

If it means that much to you.

It does.

to me. Told me everything would be
alright.

So if I finally even hold the love that
I believed

in, promise you will stay within my
heart.

What are you doing?

What does it look like?

What do you want with this thing?

I want to know why it showed up.

I got it back from Harry Dean at the
boatyard.

He reckons he's seen alien lights on it.

And you believed him?

Yes, I believe there are aliens in
Lightning Point.

And for some reason this boat is really
important to them.

It's not going to tell you anything.
It's just a boat. It's not just a boat.

It belonged to my parents.

And it's the only thing I've got that
was theirs.

You want a hand?

Yeah, thanks.

Oh, here she is, the birthday girl
herself.

What's all this?

Well, it's something from the girls.

And from me.

And from Piper too.

Are you okay?

Yeah, all good.

Right, it's cave time. Your favourite.

Dad, please wait. I need to say
something first.

Okay.

First of all, I want to say how lucky I
am to have all my favourite people in

the world finally in the one room
together.

Dad.

This is probably the best present anyone
will ever give me.

I'm going to love living in Hawaii with
you.

Me too.

But not right now.

Maybe in a year or so.

I'm so happy here with my mom and my two
best friends.

You know I love you to bits, Dad, but I
don't want to lose all this.

That's all right, sweetheart.

I'm not surprised, really.

You've got a pretty good thing going
here.

And that ticket's open-ended, so you can
come for a holiday any time you like.

I would so love to do that.

I must admit, sweetie, I'm glad you're
sticking around a bit longer.

Kiki and Zoe, I know Hawaii's a long way
away.

Maybe you'd like to come for a holiday
with Amber, too.

It's not that far, really.

People travel all kinds of crazy
distances these days.

birthday, darling.

Happy birthday!

I

wish

we had cake like this on Luminal.

I wish we had birthdays.

Are you kidding?

You've never had a birthday.

Either of you.

We don't do birthdays.

Okay. Easily fixed.

From now on, you can share mine.

How are you guys?

I should get back to the hotel and start
packing, I think.

But you slept all night.

You've still got a little time left,
haven't you?

I like the way these earth families
work.

Me too.
