Original subtitles

We can divide up the house.

We'll get more that way, if I do the renos.

Oh, what the fuck? This isn't about money - it is about love.

You know what? Tell Ursula to back off.

She says that she's doing this for you

and, "Fighting her battle," for you -

bull.

It's about her, it's about Scott and it's just about greed.

I know about this theory of yours.

What theory? About Sarah killing herself.

She didn't kill herself. She didn't. Yeah but... You don't know.

And if suicide is mentioned,

our sister's little bit of life insurance will be void.

You know the builder has to come back to finish it.

Like, he actually has to. I know.

Just saying it doesn't make it true.

It's Ciaran. He's gonna do something really bad.

Wayne.

Don't look at it, Ciaran.

- Hey, look away. - I'd listen to your uncle, mate.

Doesn't hurt. Gotta get every speck out of here.

I'm sorry.

It's not my fault. It never is.

There's a limit to how much we can put up with.

And I've nearly reached mine.

Jake'll be alright.

He'll be OK, won't he?

We hope so.

Keep going.

Oh, excuse me. Um, when can we take Ciaran home?

I think you have to talk to the police.

Right. OK. Sorry about that.

It's fine.

Hey. Sorry - who are you?

Um, she's...my sister.

OK. We've still gotta ask, right? Mm-hm.

She's with me. You OK?

Hey, I...I didn't say anything to the cops about your brother.

Are you OK? Yeah.

I'm good. I'm good. Um...

It's, uh, just that they, um...

won't say anything about that boy.

Is it Jake?

Yeah.

I need to know if he's alright, you know?

He's not gonna die.

It's OK. Yeah. Yep? Yeah. Yeah.

Yep. He's not gonna die.

Just breathe.

Breathe.

Hanna?

Hanna.

Come on.

Let's go. Um, I'm just...

Uh...I'm helping George.

Yeah and I want you to come with me, please.

It's fine. You should go.

I'm helping George and I'm going to take her home.

What? No. You are not.

Hey, it's OK. Come on.

Actually, can I have a word, please, with you, Georgia?

Yeah, OK.

About what?

Hanna, give us a moment, please. You're gonna embarrass me.

The girl is 16. "The girl"?

What about Ciaran? I'm sorry - what have I done?

She is grieving... Oh, my god. Stop!

Hanna, whatever this crush is, if you do it in public,

it reflects on us.

We're the parents. We're in charge. Oh!

I don't want you in charge of me, 'cause you're a fucking hypocrite.

Hanna, stop it!

I am helping George...

..and I'm going to take her home.

Come on.

Uh, you need to take charge.

Your siblings are morons,

true to form.

Oh!

No. You sore?

Well, yeah. OK.

From the...fall?

I don't want to talk about it.

You OK? Yep. I'm OK.

OK. 'Cause if I'm going to help you, I need you...

Talking about it isn't helping.

OK. Ciaran's not making this up.

About that kid finding Sarah.

You know, they're right. Victims.

Eugh! Oh, this coffee's off.

Eh? I think the milk's curdled.

Uh, it can't be. It just came out of a little...sachet.

It doesn't go off. It's UHT.

Ultra-heated. Even more pasteurised.

I'm trying, Urs.

Just in here, thanks.

It's alright. We'll be right.

What? Yeah, yeah. Just...leave us to it.

It's cool. We'll...I'll deal with it. Urs!

Just take a seat over there.

Um, we've got the funeral this week,

which is part of why things are...

..um...

We just really need to put this time behind us.

And is he alright? The boy?

It seems like it was just a concussion but...

there will be an investigation into Ciaran's actions.

He took this boy out onto the water and from what I can gather,

he set out to deliberately harm him.

I need someone to sign that you accept Ciaran into your care

until further arrangements can be made.

This needs to be signed before you leave here tonight.

Constable, um...

is it alright if we have the room for a moment?

Yep.

Of course.

OK.

Mmm.

I mean, I think we always knew it was gonna come to this, didn't we?

Me and Scott,

with our sister's children, in my home.

Well, they could stay in the house. Mmm.

Oh, can they? Really?

Are you gonna be there?

Wayne and I are ready for this.

And I want to...

..but Hanna made it very clear it's not gonna work.

Den, she didn't mean that.

Well, maybe you don't see it the way I see it.

Come on! She's, like...a kid.

I'll do it.

I'll take Ciaran and Hanna.

Actually, permanently, if needs be.

'Cause you know what? I'd consider it an honour.

But you will give me the full funeral mass

that our sister deserves.

And we will be a family.

Oh, wow.

I'll show you how it's done. Oh.

One... Another one? Yep.

Yeah. Two. Alright. Your go.

Can you do it? Can you do it? Can you do it?

Come on, mate! Idiot!

It's been on the floor! Eat it!

Hey, mate. Hey, mate.

Uh, you want some cereal?

Is Aunty Ursula about?

Garage.

With Dad.

It's where they go to fight.

Fighting about me?

No.

I should probably go.

Um, gotta pick up Hanna, before the thing.

Uh, no. You're staying here, mate.

That's what Mum said.

But we'll drive you to the thing.

Massive day for you and everything.

Do you want to borrow a suit for the funeral tomorrow, or...?

Um...

..no, Uncle Wayne's sorting that.

Boys, I asked for this bin to go out.

That reeks! It needs to go out, please, like I asked.

Did you sleep alright? Yeah.

Father Shirley's kindly given us access to the church, so...

I just...

..I just want to be prompt, you know?

A sign of gratitude.

Can you just hold there?

Right there? Yep.

I should just let the seawater get to it later.

Oh, no. That'd sting. It would heal it.

Uh... Sorry!

Yeah, alright!

Hello. Hey.

Do we really have to go to this church rehearsal thing?

Don't blame me. You can blame your Aunty Ursula.

Oh, I will.

Right.

Atta girl.

Hey. Gimme those.

I'm right.

It stresses everyone out, you know.

Staying at that woman's place.

She's way too old for you.

Old for what? We're not eating each other out.

What? What is your problem?

Can you just please calm down?

My cousins already think I'm fuckin' mental.

Ciaran...

get over yourself.

Hey. Hanna Montana. How's it going, mate?

Uh...yeah.

Yeah. Good. Yeah. Yeah. We get it.

Yeah. Yeah.

Sorry.

Yeah. See you in there. Yeah.

OK.

Hey.

No. No, no, no.

She's just gonna nap up the back.

We mustn't. You know, Father's very kindly given me the church.

Can you just...put her in the car?

I am not doing that. Alright! Well, the foyer, then.

Leashed.

Come on. Come on, girl.

Um, they haven't been cleaned properly.

Come on.

Come on. Good girl.

You doing OK?

Um...yeah.

You...slept OK?

I slept on her floor.

No, Hanna.

I wanted to, uh...

OK. Ready? Yep. Big, loud voice.

For all of us who...

That's OK. It's why we have rehearsal.

You can do it, mate.

For all of us who know sin...

..may we always be ready to acknowledge...

..our wrongdoing

and seek God's forgiveness.

Lord, hear us.

Response.

It's their mother's funeral.

Does he want to be up there? Does Hanna?

I didn't force them... It's OK. I can do it.

We pray, through my mum's intercession,

for those sick and dying.

May they...

..may they discover the redemptive value of their suffering.

Is that your phone doing that?

Lord hear...

Lord hear us. Response.

Lord, hear our prayer.

Hanna.

Sorry. I just...

I don't think these... these prayers are very, like...

Mum.

You know? Um...

Can Ciaran and I go home and just, like, rewrite them?

Is that alright? Um... Boys?

No. Alone.

Just watch your step, boys. Yeah, yeah.

Yep. Got it.

That's done there.

Hey, look - there's termites all through the prick.

Uh...who are you?

Hi. Sorry. Um, speak to the boss.

What is this?

The deposit doesn't cover half my costs.

Just following the contract. Oh.

Uh, is there a clause in there about you having a tantrum as well?

Hey, I have to survive too, OK?

Hey, Ali!

Are we taking this guttering?

Bit of rust on it. Yeah. Take everything.

Yeah. Sweet. What the fuck?

Fucking builders!

Oh, my god!

You just fuck everyone over, don't you?

You're just gonna keep fucking my family, aren't you?

I'm talking to you! I was out there!

Out on the water, every morning and night that I could.

I was there, searching for her!

I loved her and I thought she was gonna be my future.

Boss, are you alright?

Here. No, thanks.

I'm good.

Just go get the guttering.

Where's your family?

Um, Mum's at the...

She's at the hospital.

They let me out but she had to stay.

Well, is... What happened?

Nah, she...she's just gotta go there for...stuff.

Um, do you...

do you want a drink?

Do you...do you want to sit down or...

We're not your friends.

I'm...I'm sorry. I'm...I'm an idiot.

I...I tried to tell you.

Heaps of times.

Why'd you tear down the posters?

I don't know.

Because maybe, at first, I thought I could...I could make this go away.

You lie about stuff.

I don't. Ciaran.

I kept trying to tell you.

Every time I saw you or... or came to your door, I...

It was you, wasn't it?

You called us.

Yeah.

And...I...I don't care what happens to me now.

Hello?

Hello?

You there?

Hello?

I...I was trying. I really was.

We need you to answer us, please.

Mum?

Mum, is that you?

I just can't face things.

And when you found her,

was it...

She just looked like she was asleep?

Is...is that what you need to hear?

No.

The truth would be good too.

It was my mum's birthday.

I...I couldn't handle it.

Jake... Jakey!

Come on!

I was just trying to go fishing.

You know, I like fishing.

Something was...weird that day.

And when I pulled up the anchor,

it was...

..but it was...

I panicked. I didn't know what to do.

'Cause...

..what will happen when she finds out...

..my mum?

How do I say goodbye to her?

That morning...

..I slept in.

And...

..even when I woke up, I...

I just sat there playing on my phone.

Because Mum wasn't there to hassle me about screen time.

And if I had one chance...

..just one more minute

with my mum...

This is stupid.

I'd show her this video I found on YouTube.

That day.

I watch it all the time.

'Cause it would have made her laugh.

You know?

Dumb little thing but...

..would have made her laugh.

I'd like to hear her laugh.

# Ave Maria

# Gratia plena

# Gratia plena

# Maria

# Maria, gratia plena... #

Oh, thank you, Father. That was wonderful.

Thank you.

You alright?

Um...I'll just have a chat to them, alright?

Hey. Hey.

So, that time at Merimbula...

OK. I'll say that.

And then...

I don't know - the Barbie story? Maybe that'll do.

What...what Barbie story?

You know, she cut off my Barbie's hair and never admitted to it.

Kept telling me it looked chic. Yeah, yeah. I remember. Yeah.

Oh, yeah. OK. And then... just end it with something positive.

I...

Yeah, I can't...

What? I don't want to.

I don't want to do... I don't want to do it...this.

Yeah, you can! You just... No.

Write it out and practise it. I can't.

Yeah, it's... I can't. I...

I just...

I just can't forgive her.

Yeah, you can. No.

Um...

She got...she got...she...

She got it wrong - the, um...

..the dosage, for Mum.

It wasn't peaceful.

It was...

..horrible.

Um...

..Mum was having these terrible hallucinations and she, um...

..she...

..was screaming for hours and, um...

I just remember hearing...

..a thud.

I mean, Mum couldn't even walk but she...

got out of bed and she crawled to the doorway...

..and there was vomit and she wet herself and, um...

..and that's...

..that's where she died - she died on the floor, in the doorway.

I don't even remember how we got her back onto the bed

but we scrubbed her and...

..tidied it up and...

..made it look clean for you.

Sarah wouldn't let me tell you.

And I didn't really want to, 'cause it was so awful.

And, um...

I was scared you'd...

But I can't carry this on my own.

I'm just so angry she did that to Mum.

And I can't let it go, so I...

..I don't know how to do this.

I can't...

grieve.

It was me.

What?

I cut off your Barbie's hair.

Oh, wow.

Ciaran, you know you couldn't have saved Mum.

Right?

Even if you'd woken up, you know?

Even if you'd been there, you just...

You couldn't, trust me.

I was there. I know.

Sometimes...

I watch the video because it...

I try to cry.

And I can't. I can't...cry.

Hmm.

Did you want to watch it now?

No.

Wait - oh, my god!

Jakey.

Do you need another sleep?

No.

Are you gonna come in?

Yeah.

Check this out.

Play it again.

OK.

Oh.

Eugh.

Hey, why did you scrub her?

Huh?

You said that you...

you scrubbed Mum.

Sorry. I don't know why I said 'scrubbed'.

She, um...

There was vomit in her hair and there was...

So we...we had to clean her up.

Yeah, I couldn't have done that.

You know, what you did for Mum?

It was...it was so brave.

And I'm sorry I didn't... I didn't listen to you

about not going to the morgue to see Sar, you know, because I...

..thought I could.

You were right.

Ciaran. Mate.

Hey. We won.

Hey?

We won the...the...lotto...thing.

The scratchie?

Yeah.

How much?

$11.50.

Oh.

I thought we could do frozen pizzas.

- Maybe. - Oh. That's great.

Bit of hay fever.

I should take an antihistamine.

It's the cat.

Yeah, your mum probably wore it more like a cocktail dress.

What do you think, Hanna? How do you feel?

Hey, Den.

Maybe a jaffle. Corn and cheese?

Doesn't she look fabulous?

Yes.

It looks like it was made for you.

I wonder if that would fit me.

I don't know but I'd love to see you in it.

You'd look great in a dress. I can wear anything.

Oh, fuck.

Sorry.

For a brief moment there, I thought...

that you were her.

Mum?

Yeah.

You're so much like her.

Am I? Mmm.

This was our spot.

We used to, uh, sneak out here and talk about boys.

You know, you're like her too.

Really? Mmm.

In what way?

Like...in the way you move.

Well, maybe you should be moving with me.

Uh, no, that's OK.

I'm very... Stop doing that.

I'm very uncoordinated! You know that.

No, you're not. Yes, I am. I can't dance.

You can! No, I can't.

When I dance, it's just like... it's... No-one should have to...

It's very wrong. Hanna, nothing is wrong!

Oh, at parties, there is wrong... Dance with me.

It's fine. Just get down low.

Click out the beat.

Yeah. Mmm.

Mmm. See?

No... Yes, you can!

Then, when you feel it, you're ready,

you go...light.

That's it.

Up. Up and...

Yeah.

That's it!

I know the funeral is tomorrow.

That's why I thought I'd get the answers to you sooner.

We know the tides. We can predict the currents.

Regular patterns, you know?

And then there's this.

This is the day and the time, pinpointed with the data.

It's different.

Yeah. Just this day, it's different.

Oh.

So what about toxicology?

The coroner will hand down her findings in time.

Um, we need to know.

Yeah - there's a small amount of life insurance

that would help keep this home for Hanna and Ciaran.

I think you should know that.

I can tell you that there was nothing in the report

or the examination

that indicated drugs or alcohol or any natural medical event.

There's no recommendations for criminal proceedings.

My own statement will conclude

that it's highly likely Sarah went for a swim,

that she went out on her own volition,

in a stretch of water that she knows well.

Significant changes in the condition

just took her out further than expected.

It's likely that she lost her bearings

and drowned from exhaustion.

The coroner's expected to hand down a finding

of death by misadventure.

There's no blame here.

You decent?

Yes.

Wow. Looking good.

One more thing.

Now, traditionally, I'd say black

but at the end of the day, I'm a homosexual florist.

Go to town.

It's your choice. No, you'll look good.

Ooh! Is it tight?

Little.

You're gonna look good. It'll be worth it.

You look so grown up!

It's killing me.

You surround yourself with people you love and...

Oh, shit.

What?

I know. It's terrible.

How's it going?

It's not good. No?

What have you got? OK.

So, um, the acknowledgement of country

and then I thank guests for those that are travelling,

so I'll thank them

and that's easy, 'cause that's, like, I'm reading it off the list.

OK.

And then I say, um...

..that first meeting was...

quite unique.

It was a very special time in my life and, uh...

Oh, god. It's terrible!

No, it's just...

I mean, it's a bit robotic but...

I'm a dancer!

We don't do speeches!

Well, I was a dancer

and now I can't fit into my pants.

Just...breathe.

Right?

Dancers do that all the time.

Right?

I mean, it's the same thing.

So at the end of every sentence, just...

..take a breath.

That's good.

How did you get so wise?

Well, I'm not an expert or anything.

But I kind of reckon before you get it together...

..you need to fall apart.

Yes.

Everything needs to fall apart.

And then...

..then you learn to live again.

I mean, like...learn how to kind of live life more.

Urs?

Yeah? Is the rent negotiable?

There's no man-cave.

What?

I'm using humour. Relax.

Because the people you've lost are missing out on all of this.

I call upon the persons here present

to be a fellow witness with me in this marriage between Wayne and Den.

We're here not only to witness their commitment to each other...

So, could I please ask Narelle to present the rings?

Wayne, please take Den's ring...

..place it on his finger...

..and repeat after me, "I give you this ring..."

I give you this ring...

"..to wear with love and joy."

..to wear with love and joy.

"As a ring has no end..."

As a ring has no end...

"..neither shall my love for you."

..neither shall my love for you.

"I choose you to be my husband..."

I choose you to be my husband...

"..this day and forever more."

..this day and forever more.

And you know more about love now too.

Maybe the peonies next, or the lamb's ears.

I'll take these to the van.

Hey.

I have nothing to say to you.

That's...that's your right. It's just...

I just...I just wanted to say I'm...s-sorry.

The way I treated you...

was so...wrong.

I disrespected you.

I will never come back from that.

By virtue of the authority vested in me

and with good wishes of all here present,

I have much pleasure in declaring you to be husband and husband.

You may seal this deal with a kiss!

So you cling on to the things that you know are important.

Because you know now they can be taken away.

Ladies and gentlemen, the newlyweds! Den and Wayne!

It's almost gone.

I had a good nurse.

Yeah.

So, yeah.

That's how you do it.

That's how you start to rebuild...

..bit by bit...

..into something new.

I think that's how it goes.

You know what we need? It's time for you guys to dance.

Everyone wants you to dance. No!

Yes! Hit it. Everyone!

Don't you think the grooms should dance?

Yeah! Yes!

Can we please have some music?

I do flowers!

Time to dance. Oh!

You'll need to teach me. Teach me, darling. You're the professional.

Is that all you got?

Well, I've got the other side.

Ooh. I'll drive.

Don't look!

Whoo! Whoo!

You OK? Yeah.

This place will be worth a motza when we're done.

Oh, Scott!

Come on!

No!

Remember? Oh!

Do you? Oh, yeah.

Yeah!

Aaaah!

Let's do it, let's do it. OK.

Do you remember? Let's go.

# Do a little dance... One, two, three.

# Make a little love

# Get down tonight

# Get down tonight

# Do a little dance

# Make a little love

# Get down tonight

# Get down tonight

# Baby, babe

# I'll meet you

# Same place, same time

# Where we can

# Oh, get together

# And ease up

# Our mind... #

You right?

Just happy.
