One Lane Bridge (2020–…): Season 1, Episode 5 - Acceptance - full transcript

Some people say the bridge is a...

a link to the other side.
It awakens second sight.

Could Lois have been involved
somehow?

Why did you think I killed Grub?

There is something going
on with you and that bridge,

and it is messing with me.

When did it start?

Come on, Kate.
You don't wanna do this.

When did you first fuck my husband?

I've got someone that wants
to buy the farm.

I've got a Chinese couple
interested.



- I vote we sell.
- What about Poppa?

He needs to be in care.

- You're OK, Dad.
- Why?

Uh, he does best with a slow start.

Please tell me you didn't sleep with
a suspect in the middle of a case.

You're suspended,
pending investigation.

I asked him to come home with me.
He said no.

So why would he say
that you slept together?

I dunno.

- You killed him.
- It was just a bird.

It was Dad's spirit.

Do you think I could have done it?
Killed Grub? Not remembered it?

Emma!

MAN, MUFFLED: ...of fainting?

Detective Davis?

- Do you have a history of fainting?
- Nah.

No, I've just been out here for
hours and...

I didn't have enough water.

Where's Emma?

Where's Emma? Did she make it?

So, when can I expect a decision?

The ambos dropped off your stuff.

They thought it was just a
dead bird.

I had to stop them from
throwing it away.

It started to smell.

I buried it.

I can show you where.

I hope I did the right thing.

It's not what you think.

I wasn't trying to...

It's time for me to move on.

You know you're welcome
to stay as long as you want.

- Yeah.
- This was only temporary.

- Hey, Stephen. Is Riki here?
- Yeah.

Oh, hey, Kate.

Um, I didn't think you were a
flower kind of guy.

It's just a voucher. To say thanks.

It's just a token. I just wanted
to give you something.

Emma said you're into running.

Thank you.

I don't what I would've done
if I'd lost her too.

- How's she doing?
- She's tired.

- Drink?
- Oh, no. Um, I'll...

- I'll see you all at the party.
- Yup.

You too.

- Guest of honour.
- Nah, I don't want a fuss.

As long as you're there.

Bye.

Why didn't you hit the bottom?

Everyone hits the bottom.

Lucky, I guess.

No one gets lucky on One Lane
Bridge. What's so special about you?

It wasn't just Emma I was
trying to save.

I was trying to save myself too.

When I hit the water, I thought it
was going to be hard, like concrete.

But I felt like I was at home.

Is that how it was for you?

It's all a black hole. One moment
my whole life lay out before me;

three days later I woke up in
the Spinal Unit in Burwood.

What does it all mean?

Did you?

Save yourself?

I dunno.

Guess we'll find out soon enough.

They've asked us to stay for lunch,
if we want.

- Maggie?
- Jack.

It must be 50 years.

- What's this place like?
- It's warm, and the food's good.

When do I move in?

How'd it go?

It's the only one with a
dementia ward.

They can take him next week.

Please don't tell Em.

Not yet.

You need to make this
code of conduct breach go away.

You've covered up worse.

Jackie claims nothing happened.

OK.

K?

Stephen.

He's a good cop.

He jumped off that bridge,
for God's sake.

Dad.

Time to get ready for the party.

Dad.

Dad? Dad!?

I'm not dead yet.

Cuppa tea time, eh?

Cuppa tea time.

Reckon it's too late to cancel?

- The investigation's going away.
- What?

Jackie says nothing happened.

You would've been too drunk
to remember.

Jumping off that bridge
took a lot of guts.

Well done.

Stay away from her, eh?

Yeah.

- What about Rob?
- Uh, forensics didn't find anything.

Didn't you say that
he paid for an alibi?

Yeah.

We'll find something.
I'll make sure of it.

Come on through. There's someone
I'd like you to meet.

This is Lois. She pulled the strings
on your paperwork.

Huan and Yuyan Zheng.

Xiexie.

We'll let you get settled in,

then we'll take you up to
the farm in the morning.

What are you doing here?

One of the workers called in sick.

- Kate, I never got to say thank you.
- Stay away from me.

I mean it.

My bones are in that graveyard,
Kate.

My sweat is on every blade of grass.

- You are not welcome here.
- We never meant to hurt anyone.

Fuck off.

Shut up!

Shit. Sorry.

No, it's all right. I thought
the door was locked.

I heard Mum got you a voucher.
Shame.

Nah, it's good... needed some
new trainers.

- How are you feeling?
- Good.

I was hoping I would see Dad.

- Did you?
- No.

I don't know how to...

Would've done it for anyone.

I'm glad you're OK.

Why do you call yourself Riki?
It's not your name.

It's just easier.

Savouries, sweets...

- Swiss rolls are my favourite.
- Oh, there's Amy over there, too.

Ohhhh.

Hey, Jackie.

It's so good to see you.
Help yourself. Come on in.

- Hi, Jackie.
- Hi, sweetheart.

- Nice to see you.
- You too. Grab a drink.

Ohh.

Wasn't sure you'd come.

Thank you for covering for me.

I wasn't gonna let you get fired
just because I...

wouldn't take no for an answer.

Come in.

Ah, is Stephen here yet?

Somewhere. Halfway
through a bottle of whisky.

All right.

- Hello.
- Hi.

- How's it going?
- Yeah, fine, I think.

Good.

- So, what's happening with Jack?
- Rest home.

I've done my time.

I'm taking Emma out of
school. We're going travelling...

as soon as the sale goes through.

Take the money and run?

Uh, Kate, you do know that you can't
leave until we've solved the case?

Well, then hurry up
and do your job.

Grub's left a big hole.

It feels wrong to be doing this
without him, but...

there it is.

To the Ryders...
past, present and future.

This land is nothing without you.

Congratulations on a hundred years,

and may you enjoy your greener
pastures.

- The Ryders!
- The Ryders. The Ryders.

And the Braithwaites.

Uh... There is cake, I believe.

You all right?

- Just take him for a nap.
- OK.

Nice cake, Mum.

Mind if I join?

I've been thinking about
the kaitiaki.

At first I thought it was just
a bird, but I was wrong.

So, I was lost... middle of nowhere.

I don't know if Grub had
anything to do with it,

but that hawk led me to you.

The hawk died.

- When?
- After they decided to sell the farm,

before I ran away.

Who do you think killed your dad?

Doesn't matter what I think.
It matters what you think.

Thank you.

Thank you for saving my daughter.

Shoot still happening?

Yeah, everything's locked and
loaded. Just need numbers.

Righto! Who wants to go
hunt some bunnies?

- What are you like with a gun?
- I'll soon find out.

Is Jack coming?

Let's wake him up.

Fuck.

Dad! Emma.

- Dad!
- Dad!

Poppa! Pop!

Riki.

Emma.

Poppa!

Can you check?

Oh God.

Dad!

Any joy?

Don't worry, we'll find him.
We always do.

Dad.

Dad.

Is it time to go?

Hey, where do you want these?

Yeah, we got him.
Let's call off the search.

Kate. Where do you want these?

In the pantry.

Down there.

God, I could kill for a drink.

You've got a big week.

I can't remember anything
from the night Grub died.

I can't remember lots of things.

Booze?

I'm a blackout drunk too.

Why do we do it?

We're not selling the farm.

I'm not putting Dad in that place.

They can have it when he's gone.

You'll have to pay us out.

I have to do what is right.

We have a verbal contract.

Mum, we can't sell the farm.

We need a consensus to sell.

It's in the trust deed.
We don't have one.

How are you gonna run the farm?

How the fuck are you gonna
run the farm?

Cos I'm done.

I hate this fucking place.

Mum.

I thought the sale was a done deal.

I have to buy out Kate and Rob.

Whatever it takes.

Please.

How can I stay?

I can't do it without you.

OK.

Oh fuck.

It, uh... It was me.

I killed him.

We'd been having a hard time.

I knew something was up.

I bought a lock.

I wanted us to do the lock ceremony.

- In the middle of the night?
- I'd had a couple of drinks.

A lot of drinks.

He didn't want to,

but I bitched and moaned
until he did.

I really wanted us to start again,

but he was just going through
the motions.

So we started to fight.

OK, so how did he end up
on the rocks?

He was leaning up against the
railings.

You told me that
whole night was a blank.

It was.

But then the shirt brought it back.

He grabbed it when he lost his
balance, and it ripped

when he went over.

Kate, there was something missing
from Grub that night.

Do you know what that was?

I found his watch

in the pantry, the next day.

Morning.

This is Dermot.
He's the station manager.

- Huan and Yuyan Zheng.
- G'day.

They are the new owners.

How ya doing?

Jackie's expecting us.

- Uh, have you talked to her today?
- No.

Just give us a moment.
Have a look around. Feel free.

She's cancelled the sale.

No, no. No, it's a done deal.

- Where is Jackie?
- Dunno.

Do you wanna hop in?
We'll just head up the top.

Got a few things I wanna check.

See ya later.

- Mum.
- I'm so sorry, baby.

I'm so sorry.

The hearing is set for tomorrow.

She'll be going to Invercargill
first thing in the morning.

- And then what?
- Well, if she pleads guilty,

uh, she may be sentenced right away.
That's up to her lawyer.

She's making it up.

She must be.

Why would she do that?

To punish herself.

Please, I can't lose two parents.

Who the fuck killed you?

Was it Kate?

Eat it.

She's gonna rot in that cell for
something she didn't do.

Case is closed.

I'm not fucking hungry.

What about Emma?

Found what you were looking for?

I have a gift.
We can use it as a tool.

May your eye be sharp
and your aim be true.

Now, you be careful out there, yeah?

It was you.

Get down.

Get down. Get down. Get down.
