03x05 - A Good Egg

[bunniefuu]

["Apologize" by OneRepublic playing]

♪ I'm holdin' on your rope
Got me ten feet off the ground… ♪

Amerie?

I… I'm guessing you saw that?

That being you and Missy sucking face?
Yeah, we all did.

It's not what you think. Hey.

I don't wanna do this, Malakai.
I'm tired. Tonight was weird.

I wanted it to be you.

[thunder rumbling]

Look, uh…

I've always wanted it to be you.

♪ You tell me that you're sorry ♪

♪ Didn't think I'd turn around and say ♪

[music warps, stops]

'Sup?

[gasps]

[panting]

[Amerie] What the f*ck?

Where are you going? It's like 4 a.m.

[chuckles] I'm wide awake.
And you'll be up soon for training.

Will you come be little spoon until then?

You need sleep.

[Noah] Okay.

[fabric tearing]

[intriguing music playing]

What the hell?

[crickets chirping]

[fence rattles]

[man on laptop]
Harder than I ever could've imagined.

- I mean, I am obsessed with this house.
- [woman] Yeah.

[man] Remember
when Niko would just follow us…

[woman clears throat loudly]

[key clacks]

Why am I suddenly
going into fight-or-flight?

Oh, well, this is kind of an intervention.

[Nan] About you throwing in
the acting towel

over one bit of constructive criticism
from that uni woman.

Constructive criticism?

It was a literal,
emotional, and spiritual rug pull.

Darren, you can't just give up
on something you love.

[chuckling] Love?

- It was a fling at best.
- It made you happy.

[Darren] I've moved on.

I have.

I'm thinking real estate agent.

Oh God.

No them-in-law of mine's
going down that slimy path, Dazzler!

Okay, uh, how about
I just make us some tea, yeah?

[Darren] This way, if I sell
a mansion a month, I'm set.

It's genius.

[Nan] Is that so?

[Ca$h] Darude?

No! [gate clatters]

What's wrong?

[footsteps approaching]

[somber music playing]

[Nan] Oh, Dougie…

[sniffles]

[sighs]

Hey.

Hey, you wanted to see me? Um…

I…

Uh…

I need to pay you back for my ID.

Um, I don't really know
what the exchange rate is.

[Malakai] Oh, you don't need to.

Yeah, thanks.

- So last night--
- You don't need to.

I know, it's just you…
you and I, we almost…

Um…

[chuckles] And then I… I went and…

- I was there.
- Should we maybe talk about--

[Missy] Oi!

Hey.

This is awkward.

Why? No, it's not.

[curious music playing]

[Malakai] No.

So chill.

I… I should go on ahead.

Um, study.
I need to study for modern history.

Um, foot rot.

[splutters, chuckles]

Foot rot. Trench foot.

Uh, it's nasty, nasty stuff.

So bad for your feet.

[Malakai] Yeah.

[invigorating music playing]

[Ant] Let's just focus on Showcase.

Tonight, I dance in your honor.

Hey, Spider. Everything okay?

Yeah. Why wouldn't it be?

Well, because her ex-boyfriend
kissed your girlfriend,

who you apparently gave a hall pass to.

He's not my ex-boyfriend.

Well, he is.
I just… I mean, I… I so don't care.

Hear that, guys?
She definitely doesn't care.

All just a big joke, really, isn't it?
It's not a big deal.

- Have you and Missy spoken?
- [Spider] Nope.

- I'm letting her come to me.
- [pen scratching, thuds]

- She is the one that has to say sorry.
- [pen scratching, thuds]

- Good thing we're all graduating soon.
- [Spider blows]

We all need a bigger dating pool.

This rate, the only two
who haven't hooked up are you.

[curious music playing]

[inaudible]

[clears throat]

[chuckling]

Bye. See you tonight.

[tense music playing]

[suspenseful music playing]

[Jackie inhales] He's awake,
but not too with it.

Last thing he remembers
is running towards the ride.

Well, I… I'm very sorry to hear that.
That must be tough for both of you.

One of your students did this.

[growling, barking]

I, uh…

I don't see how a piece of material
got you there.

Where I found it.

The fence was bent.

Someone was leaving in a hurry.

Why haven't you told the police?

What, and get fobbed off?

Do you think they give a crap
about a showie?

I want answers. You can give 'em to me.

I don't see how.

[Jackie exhales]

Question your kids.

This show is my life.

Look, if you don't sort it…

I will.

- We were both tanked.
- Mmm.

Yeah. Yeah, no. It was just…
It was just dumb. Yes.

It didn't mean anything.

To us, I mean.

Totally, yeah.

I mean, not that, like,
you and I wouldn't be, like…

Uh, the hottest couple to walk the Earth?

Obviously. But, um, like, I'm not…

- Oh, me neither. True God.
- Oh. [exhales, chuckles] Cool.

Does Spider know that?

I don't…

- I haven't… Yeah.
- Right, okay.

I mean, I… I kind of made my own mess too.

[smacks tongue] Right before…

I, uh…

[inhales] Amerie and I almost kissed.

Did you hit on me to make her jealous?

[sputtering] Wait.
Firstly, you made the move on to me.

Secondly, no.

I didn't make her jealous.
She's done with me.

Mmm. Mmm.

Well, she asked to meet up
so she could pay you back.

- Yeah.
- With cash.

Mmm.

God, Amerie doesn't pay anyone back.

That b*tch has owed me 50 bucks
since Year Nine.

[intriguing music playing]

[toilet flushes]

[Amerie] We can't let Jackie see us.

[pensive music playing]

So we just hide out
in the bathroom in silence?

Did you go and see him
after we had it out?

- No. Why?
- You were pretty pissed, so…

f*ck off.

You tell him a little something
about what we did,

he mentions it to Jackie,
suddenly she's here…

Clancy's awake.

[Sasha] It was in there.

[Amerie] Sorry, you and your girlfriend
need to find another spot.

- Uh, what I need to do is pee.
- [chuckles]

And I'm not her girlfriend.

[nervous laughter]

Yeah, no, she's not my girlfriend.
[nervous laughter]

That would be so weird
and, like, really awkward.

[Woodsy over speakers]
Would all Year 12 students

please come to the gymnasium at recess

and bring your leavers jackets.

Jackets.

Jackets.

Jackets.

- Oh!
- [echoing] Jackets. Jackets…

Damn it. Why do we even have
a reverb button?

- [microphone feedback]
- Sorry about that. Gymnasium. Recess.

Bring your jackets.

What's that about?

[whispering] The fence when we were
running away from the carnival.

My jacket got snagged.

[Harper] Oh my God.

What do I do?

[dramatic music playing]

- Harper, please.
- [sighs]

Maybe it's time we tell the truth.

[music intensifies]

[ducks quacking]

There you go, sweet Darude.

Thanks for coming, Quinn.

Oh yeah. Um…

[inhales, exhales]

Um…

You were my best mate. Um…

I just never thought this day would come.

[somber music playing]

[sniffles]

Oh…

[clears throat]

Uh…

Darude.

The story goes that…

Ca$h saved your life.

[Ca$h] Mmm.

And I think you saved his too.

- I saw the way he loved you and…
- [Ca$h sniffles]

…how you loved him, so

thank you for looking after him.

I'll take care of him now.

Amen.

Thank you.

It's time.

[clicks]

Goodbye, Darude.

[suspenseful music playing]

Hey!

What do you think you're doing?

[dramatic music playing]

Run!

["Sandstorm" by Darude playing]

[thuds]

[music stops abruptly]

Let's get this over with, yeah?
I've got a showcase to prepare for.

[intriguing music playing]

[Woodsy] Quickly.
The other sleeve too, please.

I'm just gonna…

[Woodsy] All right, thank you.

Have you two talked since last night?

No. [exhales]

Go on, spit it out.

Did you kiss Malakai
because you wanna break up with Spider?

[scoffs] No. Just…

Spencer.

- [Missy] I'm trying to figure it out.
- Sleeves. Thank you.

- [Missy] It's not like this is easy.
- Thank you.

- [Woodsy] Yes. Thank you.
- I don't wanna hurt him.

But you'll talk to him?

Well, he's probably gonna act weird
about it anyway.

Here, remember he's got Showcase tonight?

Like, do what you gotta do, but…

Yeah. Actually, nah.

It's all right.
I'll just wait until after.

[curious music playing]

[smacks tongue]

[Woodsy exhales]

What, Miss? It's fashion.

My office.

Now.

Where are the sleeves?

Sleeve heaven?
These g*ns deserve to be free.

Wouldn't you say so?

This is serious, Amerie.

There's been an accusation that one of
our students was present at an incident.

It's not ringing any bells. Um…

- Okay, well, if that's all, then I'll be--
- Sit down!

Have you been hanging out
at the carnival that's in town?

Not really.

Well, a piece of one of those jackets
has been found nearby.

Theory is that one of our students
tore it while fleeing the scene.

[sputters] It's a bit of a stretch.

Yeah, I thought so too,
until you turned up wearing that.

When something goes wrong,
why do Hartley kids always get the blame?

Oh, I don't know, Amerie.
Maybe because our logo is on the evidence.

Who found this alleged evidence?
What does it even prove?

Are you saying that
the carnival owner is lying?

Well, their insurance claim
got turned down, so…

And how do you know that?

- Amerie, how do you know that?
- Harper works there.

She sees them do dodgy stuff.

[intriguing music playing]

Will Harper confirm this?

That was a beautiful eulogy, Darren.
Darude would have loved it.

It was nothing.
I stole it from a Julia Roberts film.

[Nan] Oh.

I'll get the first round.

[Ca$h] Why do you have
to take the piss like that?

I don't know. [chuckling]
It's just what I do.

Well, it just kinda cancels out everything
you say if you sh*t on it after.

It was a throwaway joke.

[scoffs] Yeah, it always is with you.

But that's the VIP Darren experience,
remember?

Do a bit, crack a joke,
use memes instead of therapy. [chuckles]

No.

I think you're just scared.

Of what?

Of people seeing you care.

About Darude.

About acting.

About anything.

[pensive music playing]

So you just threw Jackie under the bus?

Woodsy had me cornered.

[chuckles, inhales]

She's not dodgy, Amerie.
She's the victim. They all are.

Yeah, I didn't cause that accident, Harps.

If they find out that I was there,
I'm gonna get blamed.

So you trashed a woman's reputation
just to save yourself?

Okay, I went too far. I get it.
I'm sorry. I really am.

But please, Harps, when Woodsy asks,

just please back me up.

I would do the same for you.

[scoffs]

I thought the only thing I was good for
was throwing my own life away.

Harper, please.

Hello.

- Hi!
- Hey! Hey Liam, it's good to see you.

[light chuckle]

You said this time, right?

Yeah. Yeah.

You, um, you keen
to get the show back on the road

now that, um, Clancy's awake?

Most of our summer bookings
have canceled on us.

- Amerie was just leaving.
- We haven't actually finished.

Bye.

Sure. Okay. Um…

See you at Showcase.

[dramatic music playing]

[Liam] All right. Where's this leak?

[dissonant violin music playing]

[indistinct chatter]

Yeah.

- True art.
- Mm-hmm.

A culmination of a very eventful year.

- Yeah, it was eventful, wasn't it?
- Mmm.

- I mean, this is…
- It's… it's artistic.

Very artistic.

What would you call that?

You know, it's… it's thought-provoking.
I'm thinking a lot of things.

- My thoughts are provoked.
- They are.

It's hard. It's true. [chuckling, inhales]

Anyway, no, thank you so much
for helping out with this.

Jesus, Dad was gonna
help drive me, but, you know…

You're so free to just run off now.

[scoffs] What,
and miss you t*rture everyone else?

Oi, you got this.

[inhales] I mean, it's pretty weird,
but it's very you.

Guys, if you are performing,
you need to get backstage and stay there.

See you later?

[Taz] Yep.

- Go well.
- [Sasha] Thanks. [chuckles]

[McMahon] See what you can do with these.

Hi. My name's Jacinta,
and I was just wondering

if you'd like to buy some tickets
for the Hartley High raffle?

I know what you're thinking,
but all proceeds go to Wheels with Feels.

[chuckling] A raffle as well?

Trust Hartley to find a way to double-dip.

Well, $50 can buy an orphan in need
a brand-new Razor scooter.

Put me down for two tickets.

- Stretch it to a bicycle.
- [Taz] Wow.

Amazing. Thank you.

My pleasure. [clears throat]

Dumbass.

I didn't know we were doing a raffle.

[clears throat] Yep.

Well, all the proceeds
are going towards a good cause.

Ooh, what's that?

I'm saving up
for a Turkish hair transplant.

- What are you really doing this for?
- Um, a quick escape.

[Quinni] You can't leave.

Yeah, well,
Woodsy will get sick of me eventually.

She won't. She's family.

[Taz] Doesn't mean sh*t.

So this time, I wanna be prepared
with enough money to get my own place.

Look out for number one.

Hey, do either of you know anything
about an orphan bicycle auction?

[intriguing music playing]

That's the name of one of the artworks…

- Yeah.
- …is what I've heard.

I will… I will help you find it.
I think it's this way.

[Amerie groans]

Stupid, beautiful dress.

[Noah] Let me have a go. Here, let go.

- [Amerie sighs]
- [Noah chuckles]

- Oh no.
- What the hell?

- It's okay. We can fix it.
- Did you just break my dress?

- It's okay. We can fix it.
- This night is cursed.

Are you freaking out over Harper?

- [exhales] What if she spills to Woodsy?
- She won't.

She's got a wide-on for that Liam guy.
You didn't see her look.

She's also your best friend.

[Noah exhales]

And I'll be right beside you,
no matter what happens.

[pensive music playing]

Just hold still. [groans]

Beautiful.

Mum said she stormed your school today.
Did you see her?

[Harper] Yeah. Is she okay?

No, not really.

She found a scrap
of one of your school jackets.

It's got her all paranoid.
She's even a bit iffy on you.

So I should steer clear of Jackie
for a bit then?

Might be smart, yeah.

Check it if you want.

Nah, I don't need to.

Mum's got it in her head
that someone caused the accident.

Oh, but it was Clancy's stuff up, right?

His memory's still patchy, but he thinks
he saw someone there that night.

[Harper] Where? Like, on the ride?

In the doghouse. At the controls.

[footsteps approaching]

House goes live soon, Darren.

Great.

Hey, you good?

Ca$h thinks I'm putting up a front,
and that's why my acting's sh*t.

Like, I'm sorry,
literally everyone puts up a front.

I'm not saying that's a bad thing,

because most of the time,
that's actually necessary. Like, hello?

I mean, yeah, yeah, you're right.

Thank you.

[light chuckle]

But I don't know,
it's also a bit of a cop-out.

I mean, I'm not perfect.
Have you seen me at parent-teacher night?

[inhales] "I completely understand, sir,

but, um, little Tommy
cannot vape in the bathroom."

Who is she?

[both chuckle]

And I don't know, sometimes it's easier
to play into that than to challenge it.

Or challenge yourself.

[sucks teeth] I've been
this version of Darren. I'm good at it.

It's what people like.

If they don't like it, who cares,
'cause it's not

really me.

Okay, but is it serving you?

Or is it holding you back
from something else?

Darren, you have the chance to just…
just show everyone something real.

No front, no pandering…

No Darren.

Yeah, just you.

Chookas.

[pensive music playing]

[Spider] Um, have you, um,
spoken to Missy today?

[Sasha] Have you?

No.

She's the one that cooked it.

[exhales] No comment.

[chuckles] Well, it sounds like
the judgment queen has something to say.

Oh yeah,
I'd rather drown in my own Mooncup.

[Spider chuckles] Yeah, I get it.

Too busy with your latest smash, eh?

[sighs] This whole thing sucks.

[sighs]

She's coming tonight.

Missy is?

When someone shows up for you,
that means something.

Welcome, everybody,
to the Hartley High Year 12 Showcase.

Well, thank you.

Uh, we are not at Hartley High, obviously,
as it is undergoing some renovations,

but thanks to, uh, Principal McMahon,

we have the use of St. Brunos's
state-of-the-art theater.

[audience applauds]

Thank you.

Tonight is an incredible accomplishment
for our Year 12's,

who have worked all year
to create the art, drama, dance,

and music performances

We are so proud of all of them.

Thanks, Miss.

- [Woodsy] You've really pulled through.
- Thank you.

So Amerie tells me
that you're working at the carnival.

[suspenseful music playing]

Was, yeah. Um, they closed.

[Woodsy] Hmm.

She also tells me
that the people running it

aren't exactly on the up and up.

- Have you seen anything like that?
- Here we go.

You can tell me the truth.

Uh, well, you know, they're always
running some kind of scam, Miss.

I'm really proud of you.

It's great.

- Thank you so much again. Thank you.
- It's the least I could do.

Oh, you're too kind.

Ay, no.

No, ay.

This is it. Good? You good?

- [Spider exhales forcefully]
- We are the finale.

- [Darren] Hmm.
- So don't screw it up.

Hey, it's gonna be fine.

Just be funny like you always are. Yeah?

You're gonna be okay.

- What you doing?
- [Darren] I can't do this.

What's happening? What's happening?

Darren, put that egg back on.

Hmm. I knew she wouldn't dog you.

Ah, I wasn't so sure.

[inhales through teeth]

I felt my whole future disappearing
like a near-death experience.

I thought it was supposed to be
like a flashback,

through your past,
all your regrets or something.

I regret my fedora phase.

I really, really hope
I don't see that on my deathbed.

I regret doing a Santa stakeout
when I was nine.

Yeah, couldn't handle that one.

- Aw, poor baby Malakai.
- [chuckles]

I regret what I said to Harper.

[indistinct]

My… my main regret is you.

I need to tell you what was in the letter.

[inaudible]

[slow piano music playing]

[inaudible]

[music fades]

Hey, sorry. Sorry. Sorry.

Sit down, Hewson!

[door slams]

[silence]

He was an average egg.

Living life on the edge.

Of a wall.

[students chuckling]

It started off as some harmless fun…

until…

[somber music playing]

…"weekends only" turned into "weekdays."

Until "every now and then"

turned into "always."

"Just one more time,"

he said.

"One more climb."

"One last high."

Now within wooden walls…

his potential is silenced.

His future stolen.

A life abandoned and left to rot.

To never know who he would have been.

That chapter was closed, and…

I had to let go…

of all the king's horses

and all the king's men…

who couldn't put my son

together again.

[Spider] A choice was made,

tormenting regret…

dwelling on

everything I should have said.

[Darren] To keep you near,

to hold you safe.

To tell you you were loved…

and didn't need an escape.

It's too late.

You're too late.

[applause, cheering in distance]

[door opens in distance]

[indistinct chatter in distance]

Darren,

that was it. [chuckles]

You both k*lled it.

[all chuckling]

- [Spider clears throat]
- [Zoe sighs]

Hi, guys.

- Hi, guys!
- Oh my God, you guys…

You were amazing.

It was good, right?

- It felt good.
- [Ca$h] I'm so proud of you.

- Thank you so much for coming.
- [Ca$h] Like, it was… it was incredible.

You… you blew everyone away. Seriously.

[Zoe] It was a bit iffy
when they first started, but…

[wrapper rustling]

- What if I want to act? Like for real?
- Then I think you should go for it.

- You do?
- Yes.

Okay.

But auditions for drama school are over.

The plan was to hone my craft
for three years

and then take Broadway by storm.

Well, you know,
maybe, you know, skip that step.

There's plenty of ways to cut a snake.

So pivot. Like

maybe go overseas.

- Like school in America.
- Why not?

I have U.S. citizenship.

- You can come.
- Sure.

You can tattoo the hipsters of NYC.

Ca$h, we could really do this.

[indistinct chatter]

Oi.

What was that?

[Malakai] What was what?

What the hell did you say to Amerie
to make her upset?

[Malakai groans]

You had your shot, and you lost.

When you gonna leave her alone, huh?

[Missy] Oi. Let's go.

- Come on. Oi.
- [Malakai groans]

- What was that? Are you all right?
- I'm fine.

[Spider] Oi!

Oi, back the f*ck off.

- [Malakai] What?
- [crowd groans]

Aren't you sick of hitting
on people's girlfriends?

- [chuckles] Settle down, Spider--
- Uh-uh-uh. No, no, no.

You do not wanna mess with me, dickhead.

- Oi, just stop. Just go. Go!
- [crowd groans]

- What are you doing? We're just talking.
- Oh, yeah? Like you were last night?

[crowd groans]

Yeah, that's it, Mr. Innocent. Walk away.

Nah, nah, nah. Just leave him out of this.

You didn't.

- [boot thuds]
- [crowd gasps]

["Rush of Adrenaline" by Big Wett playing]

Is this on the program?

Spencer, don't even think about it!

[crowd] Oh!

Oi, you wanna go?

Then go.

♪ Okay, let's do it. I'm comin' up… ♪

- [Spider grunting]
- [Woodsy] Spencer!

[Spider grunting]

[gasping]

[girl] Oh my God!

♪ I've got another rush of adrenaline… ♪

[Malakai grunting]

[Spider yelping]

[Woodsy] Excuse me. Excuse me. Excuse me.

♪ I'm comin' up, I'm comin' up… ♪

Throw a punch, pussies.

Like this?

- [Harper grunts]
- [crowd groaning]

♪ I've got another rush of adrenaline ♪

♪ Rush of adrenaline… ♪

[shatters]

[boy] Oh, my vase!

[Woodsy over speakers]
Malakai and Spencer…

[exhales]

…put down the pool noodles now!

[scoffs]

[exhales] Why don't you f*ck off
back to Geneva? No one wants you here.

[pensive music playing]

[crowd murmuring]

[Malakai] Yeah, fair enough.

We will talk.

Incredible.

You all right?

Hmm.

[Taz] Oh my gosh.
That group goes heavy on the drama, eh?

Oh, yeah. You should have seen the sh*t
we got up to last year.

Yeah, well, probably a good thing
you don't hang out with them anymore.

Hey, and I'm glad
I came and saw your thing.

- Really?
- Yes, you should've seen the audience.

They were like…

It was mind-blowing, honestly.
It was really cool.

Thanks. [chuckles]

Hey, we should go on an actual date.

- [scoffs]
- Like, it's kind of time, right?

[Taz] What?

Oh my God. I can't believe
I'm having to ask this, but

like, what are we, Taz?

Just casual, I thought.

Uh…

But, like, if you're… if you're not cool
with that, we can call it quits.

Oh my God, no! [chuckling] No! I'm… I'm…

Unless you want to, 'cause I'm…

No, I'm… I'm good to hang.

Yeah. Yeah, me too.

Okay, well, I'm hungry,

so I'm gonna go raid the food truck
while they're doing clean-up.

Yeah.

- Yeah, you go do that.
- I will.

Hey.

[pensive music playing]

Got your sling.

He's right.

No one wants me here.

I wish I'd never gone to Hartley.

- [door closes]
- [keys jingle]

I can make my own way home.

Oh, I know.

Humor me.

[engine starts]

You know, it might get easier
if you talk about it.

Or not talk about it. That's fine too.

I can see you're in a lot of pain.

You know, the body is an amazing thing.

Remembers trauma that the brain
is maybe trying to ignore

or wanting to forget.

About that night…

at Mardi Gras with the cop, I just…

I haven't really felt like myself
since then.

What you went through
was a lot to carry, Malakai.

For anyone.

And you can push it down,
pretend it's not happening…

but it won't go away.

And ignoring it will just make it worse.

I just keep messing things up.

I'm so angry with myself
all the time. I just…

I just wanna…

Did you do this to yourself?

What? No.

No.

I did it at the carnival.

[exhales]

We, um…

We took the bust from Brunos and…

[continues indistinct]

[cell phone chimes]

[cell phone clicks]

[Amerie] Harps!

Harps! Malakai just said
all this stuff to me, and I didn't…

Thank you so--

I'm never doing anything like that
for you ever again.

[Seb] There's the psycho!

[Harper] You should put some ice on that.

Get in the car.

[Noah clears throat]

Hey.

- Do you wanna talk about before, or…
- No. No. I'm fine, I promise.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

Well, uh…

[inhales, clears throat]

Whose car?

Seb's got new wheels.

It's an apology present from his dad
for driving over his golf clubs.

Please tell me you're joking.

[smacks tongue, inhales, exhales]

- I'll be driving this big baby home.
- [Amerie chuckles]

[Seb] What did you call me?

[Noah] I called you a big baby.

["Disparate Youth" by Santigold playing]

Penetrator?

[blows raspberry] I wanna meet Penetrator.

Seb totally knew we stole the bust.

Clancy thinks he saw someone
in the control booth.

So Seb…

Oh my God.

That trust-fund m*therf*cker!
