01x03 - Episode 3

[bunniefuu]

Bad time to welcome you
to the neighbourhood?

Oh, are you married? My wife -
she passed away two years ago.

Tell me you found him. We have to
presume that he has drowned.

It still doesn't make sense.

He surfed every clay.
He was a strong swimmer.

Is there anything I can do to help?
I'm here.

GLASS SMASHES
I think someone tried to break in.

I think they're trying to scare you.

Why would Ethan lie about seeing
Sean the morning he went missing?

Don't you dare
try and pin this on me!

Have we met before?
Whatever happened to him,

it happened after I was there.

I can't shake this feeling
that something isn't right.

OK. Last one.
So, owners aren't back for a month.

They're in Europe - nice for some.

Um, so some of the lights
are in here

and then the rest being delivered.

Sorry. Sorry. I know I'm late.
I know I said nine o'clock.

Hope I haven't messed things up
for you,

lost you the commission
of the century or...

Not at all, Mrs Weston.

Here you go. You exchange on Friday,
is that right?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm just...
I'm so excited.

Well, vendor's obviously got faith.

It's not often they give
early access.

Have you got all that?
Quite a bit to do,

but main priority
is the Burrell place. Got it. Cool.

Right. So I can keep these?
Your house.

OK. Thank you.
Thanks for everything.

Oh, let me get that.

Thanks.

Ah, I forgot to say... Sorry.
THEY LAUGH AWKWARDLY

Ah, you 9°-

Oh, who says
the art of chivalry's dead?

Thank you.

Um, you'll need security code,
but it's all in the notes.

Actually, it's right next door to
the house Mrs Weston just bought.

OK. See ya.

Oh, yeah, I see what you mean.

It's a bigger job than we thought.
Yeah.

Two...

"maybe three more days.

Nah, it's all good. I just got
an e-mail for Mrs Burrell -

they're not coming back
till next year now.

Houses all over the world!

Lucky them. Yeah.

Yeah. It's just a shame

BLENDER WHIRS

Oh.

FOOTSTEPS APPROACH Oh, hi. Hey.

Do you want one? No, thanks.

I've had my vitamin fix for the clay.

Everything OK?

I've just remembered where I know
Michael from.

Oh, go on.

OK, that night that I came around,
the barbecue?

The night before Sean
went missing... What about it?

On the way home,
I passed this guy on the street.

It was him. Michael?

I didn't think much of it
at the time.

I just thought he was a local.

But... now it's hit me.

He must have been checking out
the house. He was kind of lingering.

Seriously?

Did you see how twitchy he got
when I asked where I knew him from?

He wants you back.

Ancl if he's been hanging
around outside...

No, I... I'm not sure.

No, I'm sure, 100%.

Maybe he's the one
who smashed the window. What?!

Think about it. Trying to
freak you out to get you to

move into the apartment with him.

I don't know. It that so crazy?

HORN TOOTS

Oh, Dad! What are you doing here?

Ah, nice to see you too.

Just wanted to check
you all survived.

Storm got pretty wild last night.
Yeah.

Dan. Michael.

Are you gonna...

Are you gonna say something?

Erm...

Mate, can you verify
your whereabouts

the night that Alison's window
got smashed?

Verify my...

What you talking about?

I know where I've seen you before.

Out on the street,
staking out the house.

Staking?
The night before Sean went missing?

You were there. I saw you.
You saw me. You were watching.

It was creepy, mate. Is this true?

I might've dropped past.

But what's this got to do with you?

You want Alison to move into
your flat with you.

Ethan broke the window.
I had nothing to do with it.

Ethan has someone who can vouch
for his whereabouts.

Look, will you shut the f*ck up?!
Michael, stop.

Sticking your face
in people's lives?

I'm not listening to this.

'And you shouldn't either.|.

Alison, whatever he says,
it's bullshit.

Bullshit.

Dad! Hannah. Hannah!

Look at him.
He's admitted to hanging around.

CAR DOOR CLOSES ENGINE STARTS

Yeah, but to come back
and scare me like that?

Look at the guy - he can't get
out of here fast enough.

He's hiding something.

SHE MOUTHS

He's out of order. Can't go round
saying stuff like that.

Well, you were weird
at the memorial -

were you worried that he'd
recognise you?

Dad, that's twice
you've been round our house.

Told you, I check on you sometimes.

You're my kid. You all the way
out there in the middle of nowhere.

Oh, my God. You believe him.
You think that I smashed the window.

No, Dad.
Well, it's crossing your mind.

Well, how can it not
when you stole the watch?

What are you doing?

Dad, what are you doing?

5t0P-

Dad, stop. No.

This was Grandad's...
Give me the watch.

No, you said...
Hannah, give me the watch.

What's going on?

What the...?!

Yeah, I get it. I get it. Erm...

I get that this was yours once
and that it means something.

I'm sorry. It was an impulse.
Stupid.

And you knew about this?

I knew about the watch.

Right, so...
So you were at our house

the night before Sean went missing

and then again
the very next morning?

Technically, yeah. Right.

Cos we all thought Ethan was
the last person to see him.

Well, he might've been.

But you said he was in the sea
when you took this.

He was, way out.
He would never have even seen me.

OK, so you might have been
the last person to see him?

I-I... I don't know. I guess.

Do you understand?
I'm going out of my mind here,

trying to figure out
what's happened to him. I know.

So every bit of information
is relevant.

Ali, it's not a big deal.
It's a huge f*cking deal,

because you might know something
that you could tell the police...

The police?
Yes, you might've seen something.

I didn't!
Well, you still need to tell them.

I can't. What?

Well, it'll look bad for me if I do.
You know I've got history.

Look, the way you talking...

Please tell me you don't think

I had anything to do with him
disappearing.

I don't know anything any more.
Ali...

you know how I feel about you.

You must know I would never
do anything to harm you

or anyone close to you.

I love you too much. Don't.

I've never stopped loving you.

Never stopped
wanting us to be a family again.

Yes, I resented
Sean being in your life,

but I would never go
as far as harming him.

Dad would never.

Alison, this is hard for me to say,

but you're looking for answers
that simply aren't there.

You have to accept the fact
that Sean drowned.

Nothing more sinister than that.

He stole it?

Wasn't expecting this.

He's obsessed.

Did he see anyone else on the beach?
He said he didn't.

I'm sorry, I...

Something's... It's not right.

And if he's not reporting it
to the police,

it means they can't add it
to their timeline. I know.

Which means they can't properly
investigate. Right?

It makes you wonder,
what else is he hiding.

Well, at the very least,
he's admitted to

hanging round outside the house,
hasn't he?

Maybe he saw something relevant.
Maybe.

At the very least,
the police need to know.

Yeah, he needs to report it.

Ancl he's not going to. No.

Which means...

we have to take matters
into our own hands.

If it makes you feel better...

I can be the one to tell them.

ENGINE STARTS

Come on!

Yo. Finally!

What's going on? Freaking me out.

I've made a stupid mistake
and Hannah and her mum are onto it.

OK. Look, long story.

But people might start
asking questions

about where I was that morning.

What, the morning
Hannah's stepdad went missing? Yes.

What the f*ck?! Look, I might need
you to vouch for where it was.

Are you out of your mind? Obviously,
we can't see what we were doing.

We can't say anything at all!

Do you understand that if
my clad finds out...

just calm down.

I can't afford any trouble either.

I've got priors. We just have to
think of another story, that's all.

How you gonna explain to Hannah?
What's Hannah got to do with this?

How well do you know her?

How close are you? I told you,
I just know her from school.

We ended up at the same party once.
It's no big deal.

PHONE CHIMES
Look, you can't drag me into this.

sh*t!

What? My ex-wife.

What? What? She's clone exactly
what I was afraid she'd do.

HE SIGHS

Don't involve me.

You dobbed him in to the police? No.

We had to, so they could add it
to their report.

They probably treating him
like he's a criminal.

No, I told them
I didn't want any action taken.

No-one's saying that your clad had
anything to do with

Sean's disappearance.
Then why go running to the cops?

Because Sean's a missing person.

Hannah, first Ethan hides
information, now your clad is hi...

Well, did you tell them
about the broken window?

No, no, that never came up.

But the police will be sus -

his past is public record, Mum.

Let's...
Let's just see how this plays out.

How it plays out?

For all we know,
nothing may come of it.

HAN NAH SCOFFS

Right, then. Let's start
at the beginning.

Dad.

Are you OK?

Mum's not with you? No, she...

She's at home.

What'd they say?
They just went through everything.

I just told 'em what I told you.

So... no charges?

No, but they took lots of notes.

I still can't believe
she reported me.

Yeah, well, how much of it was her
and how much of it was Dan?

What's going on between them?

All I know is that he's at our house
all the time

and I reckon he's got
a thing for her.

Hannah.

Yep. I'll leave you to it.

You've got to see this from my
perspective. I'm trying to.

You had information.
It's as simple as that.

As long as you're not doubting me
on any level.

No, I'm not. Thank God!

Michael.

You know what you said about us,
about me, it...

It's never gonna happen. Right.

Yeah.

You've got to let it go.

Look, before I go...

\..I'm worried about Hannah.|.

Why? Has something happened?

Well, you tell me.
I'm still getting the feeling

there's something
you're holding back on.

Is it to do with a boy.
What's she said?

There you go again.

There is something, in't there?

All right. Yeah.
Yeah, there is an issue.

Hannah didn't want me
to say anything but...

it's been on my mind.

Who's the boy?

Logan. His name's Logan.

MUSIC PLAYS THROUGH HEADPHONES

What have you been doing with Logan?

You promised.

Look, your dad's
been worried about you too.

Well? Topless photos, dr*gs?

What else have you been up to?

It was one stupid photo, OK?

Fun. Remember fun?

No, I'm not sure I do, Hannah, no.

And it wasn't dr*gs - it was weed.
Just one puff.

And this is just the stuff
that you're fessing up to.

You really want to talk
about fessing up, Dad?

Because I've been defending you,

so maybe it's time you cut me
some slack, too, huh?

Look...

your mum and I love you.

We want what's best for you.

Please tell me
you're not still seeing him.

She's not.

The truth, Hannah.

SHE SIGHS

I might have seen him
a couple more times.

But I've put a stop to it now.
This prick shared a photo of you.

Why would you want anything else to
do with him? It's over now, OK?

It doesn't matter.

This is why I told you not to...

God, Mum!

Logan...| need to talk to you, now.

FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

I think she's told us everything.

You know, and I'm glad.

This Logan, he sounds like bad news.

HE SNIFFLES Hey. Hey.

Yeah, look, I know.
It's tough to hear.

It is tough.

We've got a daughter who loves us,
needs us.

Can't you see that?

Can't we just come together,
for her?

Put today behind us?

You can keep hoping the phone's

and that you hear his voice.

Just hoping he'll come home...

and now he never will.

SHE SNIFFLES

I've be... I've been down here
so many times, looking for answers.

I never imagined this.

Michael.

When we reported the watch, I...

had no idea it would lead to this.

Um...

\..I'm so sorry.|.

He told me to believe him and I did.

I did.

Cos we were married.

We have a child together.

Michael. How could it be him?

SHE SIGHS AND SNIFFLES

Michael...

loves you.

Love...

it's a powerful emotion.

It can make people do
unpredictable things.

Things you would never imagine them
capable of.

I need to see him. I need to see
the guy who k*lled my father...

now, all right?

Hey!

f*ck! What did you do to him,
you crazy fucker?

What did you do? That was my dad.
Come on, mate.

Probably best you head home now, eh?

Let us do our job, yeah? Come on.

I didn't do this.

I didn't k*ll Sean Weston.

Right, well... w-working off, er,
that assumption, um,

do you have any idea who did?

Whoever gave the police
that anonymous tip-off.

Someone who knows that I've got
a storage unit. Someone stupid.

Wh... Why would I hide
Sean's body in my own storage unit?

Well... give you time to think.

Um, plan your next move.

I told you, I'm not a k*ller.

O-O-OK, OK. So, um, again...

who is?

Ethan. Sean's son.

Someone he did business with.
An enemy he made.

So, th-the police believe, um,

he d*ed from a blow to the head

somewhere between 6.30 and 8.30am.

I was there from 6.30.
I was gone by seven.

That's not enough time to bludgeon
someone and drag away the body

if that's what they think happened.

Mm.

Look...

is there anyone
who can verify your whereabouts

after 7 am?

Yeah, there is someone, yeah.

They're not gonna want to cooperate
but now they're gonna have to.

Look, it's complicated.

Something I'd rather explain
to my wife and daughter myself.

It's gonna break their hearts.

I still have it.

In spite of everything,
I still loved him.

Does that sound mad?

Everything about this
whole f*cking thing is mad.

YUP-

Are you HAPPY?

It wasn't me who k*lled him.

It was that psycho ex-husband.
Ethan...

You thought it was me. No.

You... asked me.

OK. OK, OK.

I doubted you for a minute.

When you came off the beach,
I've never seen you that angry.

Oh, perfect. f*cking perfect.
My own mother!

Well, of course I know it couldn't
have been you. Darling, come here.

No! Ethan...

HE SIGHS

HE SCOFFS

You know, I was gonna chuck these
yesterday...

his f*cking golf clubs,

but I couldn't bring myself.

I couldn't.

I was just so mad at him
for leaving us for her.

Yeah, I know. I couldn't k*ll him.

He WAS my clad.

I loved him.

I wanted him to come back to us,
Mum. Oh.

HE SOBS

Oh.

DOOR OPENS

Ah, hey. Can I just get a word with
Detective Da Silva, please?

Yeah, of course. Just a moment.

Hannah, you can go in now.

Oh, my God.

What's happening?

Where's your mum?

I only spoke to her on the phone.

I came straight here.

Look, she has to know that
I didn't do this.

Why aren't they questioning Ethan?
I'm sure they will again. Or Logan.

Logan? Oh...

I didn't say anything before.

I did... I didn't wanna believe it.

We didn't even know Sean was
m*rder*d but...

What you talking about?
The morning he went missing,

I was supposed to meet with Logan,

but he was really angry because Sean
was gonna tell his clad

about the photo of me. And then...
Hang on, hang on.

So you think that Logan had
something to do with Sean's death?

Well, he never showed and he refuses
to tell me where he got to.

Now he's not even answering
his phone.

I just... I just told
Sergeant Bohmik about it.

They're looking for him now.

I see.

But this is good, right,
that they have other suspects?

Dad?

I've got an alibi from 7am.

That's most of the time
when then think that Sean cited.

Why didn't you say anything?

Where were you?
Were you with someone? Yeah.

SHE SOBS

The police are following it up.
We'll talk about it later.

Hey, it's OK. Oh, God!

It's OK. I love you.

I love you. I love you.

DAN: Ali?

FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

I'm sorry.

It's just... It's...

It's the shirt he was wearing
on that last night.

I had this idea that he'd come back

and I'd... I'd just tell him off
for leaving things lying around,

cos he was always leaving stuff
lying around.

It was just a...

just a silly moment I kept
playing over my head.

It's not silly.

I have to accept he's gone, don't I?

DAN SIGHS GENTLY

You do what you need to do
at your own pace.

There's no rules
when it comes to grief.

I can sleep on the couch again...

if you need me to.

Mum? Mum, where are you?

Hannah? Hannah, I'm here.

I saw Dad. It's OK.
I think he's going to be OK.

What happened?

Oh. You're here.

Well, what did he say?
Is he all right?

Did you get to talk to him?

Is he gonna be OK?

Could you leave us?
This is family stuff.

Sorry. Sorry, Dan. Do you mind?

No, that's OK, I...

I'll catch up with you later.

What... What did he say?

He's got an alibi.
Really? What is it?

I don't know but it sounds like it
might be enough to clear his name.

Sounds like?
He didn't go into detail.

And, OK, there's still some stuff
to work out, but...

So it's not a clone deal?

No, and that's not all.
I gave the police a name too,

and you're not gonna like it.
But if it helps Dad,

hopefully you'll understand
why I didn't tell you sooner.

DOORBELL RINGS

Hannah.

Sorry if I was crowding you before.
I just...

I just want to be there
for your mum.

Oh, yeah. She has me, you know?

Oh, yeah. I'm not trying to intrude.
I just...

Um, did I just see the police? Oh.

Yeah, something about
routine questions and they need...

Mum to identify the body.

That's horrible. Yeah.

Um... So your dad's OK?

Yeah, he should be out soon.

Oh, that's great.

What a relief. Hm.

Has there been a new development?

SHE SIGHS SOFTLY

Look, I... I know that you and Mum
have this whole...

grief connection thing going on,
but...

Hannah, I'm just...

I'm trying to be supportive.

OK, um...

If you really mean that,
maybe just... give us some space?

I'm sorry you had to do that.

And I'm sorry I made it worse
by not telling you things.

You weren't to know
what was going to happen.

I should've told you about Logan.

I didn't seriously think
he'd hurt Sean.

I liked Sean.

You know that, right?

It was...

weird for me, moving here and...

starting this new life.

But...

he was so nice to me.

I could have been nicer back.

There's a lot of things
we could've clone differently.

I wish I'd let you go back
to your old school when you asked.

Then maybe you never would have
met Logan.

I really thought he liked me.

That's why I went to the party
and let him take that stupid photo.

I just feel like such an idiot now.

And if he's clone this,
I'll never forgive myself.

We just have to hope that
your dad's name will get cleared.

Yeah?

But...

if it... If it wasn't Logan,

do you think Ethan
could have set Dad up?

PHONE CHIMES

Is that Dan?

Yeah.

Listen...

the police are looking into it
now. They WILL get some answers.

OK?

Baby, this is not your fault.

Come here.

I'm sorry.

Don't be silly. I'm sorry. So am I.

HE PANTS

Alison.

Er, I know that you probably got
your plate full

with Hannah at the moment,
but, um...

\..I'm worried. I.

Er, just let me know
if I can pop round.

So... who's the lucky girl

getting the breakfast-in-bed
treatment?

Sara. Hey!

Thought you moved to Tasmania.
I'm back.

Staying with my brother
and his wife.

Er, so, who's the lucky lady?

Nobody.

All for me.

Oh. That's a shame.

You know,
we could have made a go of it.

It was just so soon after Ian -
I, er...

I couldn't go there.

I get it.
It was moving too fast for me.

I'm sorry I never said goodbye.

Anyhoo, er, lovely to see you.

Maybe we can catch up sometime.

Still the same number? Same number.

I'll keep my eye out for you, then.

H E CH UCKLES SOFTLY

SHE CHUCKLES

We've got the CCTV footage
from the storage depot.

And? Well, it's sketchy.

I mean, the cameras
don't cover the whole place.

It's hard to even say if
someone's entering or leaving. But?

Well, there is something
you should definitely see.

Do you know this person?

It's Logan,

the kid I was telling you about.

And he knows about
your storage unit?

He knows, yeah.

Can you explain why
the same teenager

who you say will provide you with
a partial alibi

for the time of Sean Weston's m*rder

might also be breaking into
your storage unit.

I, er... I-I think, detectives,

that you already have
my client's account

of his, er, connection
to Logan Williams.

Th-This footage is even more proof

that you're detaining
the wrong person.

Well...

"clearly, we need to find
Mr Williams.

Hey, you didn't call back, so I...
Oh.

OK, thank you. Thanks.

You let me know when you know.

OK. Bye.

Everything OK?
Yeah. Sorry I didn't call you back.

|-I've just...
I've been a bit caught up.

Got your favourites. Thanks.

Who was that?
That was Michael's lawyer.

Yeah, they're at the courthouse now.

They've resubmitted his bail
application

and he thinks he's in with a chance.
Based on new evidence?

He's got an alibi.

Um, we don't know who. Coffee?

Yes. Thank you.

Yeah.

See, I knew... I knew
it couldn't have been Michael.

So you, um...

You really think Michael's
gonna get off the hook?

I don't know.
It's a good first step.

PHONE VIBRATES That was quick.

Hello?

Are you sure?

OK.

Really? That's incredible news.

Yeah, we'll forward to seeing him.

OK. Thank you. Bye.

He's been granted bail.

The alibi checked out?

There's been a bigger development.

Apparently, another suspect has been
caught on CCTV at the storage unit.

Who? They wouldn't say

but, erm, he's going home now

and then he's gonna come here to
explain it, whatever that means.

I need to tell Hannah.

She's... She's at the beach.

Erm, I'll skip the coffee.
She's gonna want to see him too.

Funny. What?

I just felt this flash of, erm...

"relief, I guess.

Yeah. It's the first time
I've felt anything good in weeks.

Hey. Michael!

It's OK. I heard the news.

Alison's really stoked
that you're out.

I was at her house
when her lawyer rang.

I'm really excited, too.

Weren't you the one that's making me
out to be some sort of nutjob?

I'm sorry. I just... I...

I got a bit jumpy-

I was overthinking it.

I'm sorry. Truly.

I hope you can accept that.

Yeah. I've got to get to Ali's.
Hey, listen.

I think it's important that you
and I team up to keep Alison safe.

Can I come in?

What do you mean?

Someone k*lled her husband,
tried to frame you.

I think that could mean that Alison
and Hannah might be in danger.

Yeah, I agree.

I'd like to help you keep them safe,

but I can't do that
unless I know everything.

Apparently, someone was caught
on CCTV footage

at your storage unit.

Yeah, Logan.

But he didn't k*ll Sean.

Not in a million years.

You seem sure of that.

He's just a kid.|

I mean,
it was enough to get me bail.

But that means that the real guy's
still out there.

I know Logan's scared of his father
but to go Awol...

It's a shame it has to come to this,
eh?

He must just be panicking.

Lovely Alison,
she just kept pushing it,

asking questions,
involving the police.

Sorry? I'd assumed that they'd
just think he was hung over,

went surfing
and got caught in the rip.

But then you came along

and I remembered seeing you.

Boy,
did you play right into my hands.

THUD

DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS

Obviously, Alison had no idea...
SHE SCREAMS

that Michael was involved
in Sean's death.

All the signs are pointing
to a set-up.

I really feel like
something bad's happened to him.

Sean did update the will
prior to the wedding.

$3 million?

Dan?

Mum...

Ali. Who are you speaking to?

HANNAH YELLS No! No, no, no!
