One Lane Bridge (2020–…): Season 1, Episode 6 - Answers - full transcript

Some people say the bridge
is a link to the other side...

it awakens matakite,

second sight.

Dermot was the last one
to see Grub alive.

If he wanted to kill Grub,
he could've done it at the hut.

They spent enough time together.

Rob's still a possibility, although
he reckons he has an alibi...

slept with some young tourist.

Haggis has motive.

Do we know for certain that
Charlottewashaving an affair with Grub?

What's important is
he believed the rumours.



Sorry for your loss.

Could've been a woman. Could Lois
have been involved somehow?

We've been through this.

Anyway, they'd have to be pretty
strong to get him over the bridge.

Shut up!

So who haven't we considered?

You can check with the hotel.
My lawyer will confirm our meeting.

Jackie wasn't in town
the night of the murder.

Jackie was in town that night.

Fuckin' faggot!

Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa!
That's enough!

You're probably the reason
he's dead, you fuckin' homo!

You've known about us
from the start.

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



I killed him.

I bought a lock. I wanted us
to do the lock ceremony.

You told me that whole night
was a blank.

The shirt brought it back.
It ripped when he went over.

Who the fuck killed you?

Eat it.

It's not her.

I know.

What are you doing?

We have a confession.

It doesn't add up.

It's in the hands of the courts.

Leave it.

I'm not hungry.

- Here, come on.
- I'm not fuckin' hungry.

I know you didn't kill him, Kate.

I hated that fucker.

You know, false confessions are
a lot more common than you'd think.

Don't you dare take this
away from me.

What about Emma?

She feels guilty.

About her drinking, her blackouts.

She's convinced herself
that she's done it.

It's a high price to pay
for enjoying your drink.

She wants the case closed.
We all do.

We're taking the easy way out.

There's no evidence
telling us otherwise.

She's gonna rot in that cell
for 20 years for something she didn't do

while the person who actually
killed Grub walks away scot-free.

I have a gift.

A what?

They call it matakite. Second sight.

I can see things and I can hear
things that other people can't.

Well, it wasn't on your CV.

- We can use it as a tool.
- No.

With my visions,
we can build evidence around that,

use it as a starting point.

The case is closed.

- Seen Lois?
- I think she's out.

Oh, excuse me. Have a seat.

I'll, um...

Hi?

Yeah, now he's telling me
he's got a gift...

- a... a second sight.
- Well, maybe he has.

Not with this
airy-fairy bullshit again.

Just because he's a cop doesn't
make him any less susceptible.

Stephen, you pride yourself
on having an open mind.

He will need facts
to back anything up.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I s'pose.

Yeah. And you can't afford
to lose another colleague, can you?

Hey, is the rabbit shoot still on?

Do you think we should cancel?

Why would we cancel?

Dunno. Just feels a bit much.

Grub's gone,
Kate's sitting in a cell.

Nah.

I reckon people will appreciate
the distraction.

Well, you be careful
out there, yeah?

- Oi, oi! Taxi's here!
- Yep. On my way.

- Jeez, you're armed to kill, mate.
- You got it.

Good hunting.

May your eye be sharp
and your aim be true.

OK, show pony. Let's see this gift.

Come on. Otherwise I'll never
hear the end of it. I'll drive.

So, what, do you just...
ask the bridge who killed him?

It doesn't always work.

You're not gonna levitate, are ya?

Well?

Not much of a gift, is it?

Hey.

- Uh, you back yet?
- No. I'm still at the house.

- Can you get my boots from the gym?
- Yeah, sure. I'll grab 'em on the way out.

- The key's by the cupboard.
- All right.

- Find what you're looking for?
- Yeah.

Stephen just wanted me
to get his boots.

Found this in his fist.

Thank you.

It's gonna be fine.

How?

How will it be fine?

It will be fine.

I promise.

Can I get a lift home with you?

Mm. I mean, jump in with Stephen
and Lois. Sure it'll be OK.

OK.

- Let me just say goodbye to Mum.
- Hm.

Hey,

how you doing?

Yeah, OK.

Kate.

This is Dr Patterson.

- You must be Emma.
- Yep.

Hi, Kate. Nice to meet you.

Has it been explained
to you why I'm here?

- To see if I'm nuts?
- Something like that.

She didn't kill Dad.

Why don't we go somewhere a bit
more comfortable to have a talk?

I loved the buzz,

then the numbness.

But really, I drank because
I needed the black holes.

I blamed everyone else,

the farm,

our debt,

the isolation,

but really, it was me, imploding my
own life. I did that all on my own.

I was in denial
for such a long time.

And now I need to own my own mess...

the mess I made with Grub,

with Emma...

Fuck.

Do you think I did it?

I think you're the best person
to answer that.

I don't know.

I... I really don't know.

Yeah.

Riki was in your office.

He was going through your desk.

- How long was he in here for?
- Long enough.

OK. Thanks.

Oh, for fuck's sake.

Hey.

Hey, you know of a good dentist?

Yeah, there's a few around.

- You lost any teeth?
- No.

Lucky.

Sorry! Just getting my eye in.

All right. One last drink,
and that's us.

You gotta relax.

Oh, your shoulders are
hugging your ears. Come on.

Lower.

OK. And breathe in.

Empty everything out
and feel like a vacuum.

That's when you squeeze the trigger.

- Hey.
- Hey.

- Cheese roll?
- Yeah.

- Hm.
- Thank you.

Stephen says you have a gift.

Do you?

Yeah.

Matakite.

Been seeing signs,

people.

Don't spend too much
time with the dead.

Now it's not just the dead.

It's the living.

Something's changed.

I ate a gecko.

- Oh!
- Yep. At the bridge.

Mm-mm.

Are we
not feeding you enough?

Oh, I need the extra protein.

- Mm.
- Ugh.

- Just gonna head off.
- Yes.

- Shit. Sorry.
- The lock's broken.

Uh...

- Sorry.
- Em.

- Hey, it's fine. Really.
- It's not fine.

- Sorry if I gave you the wrong idea.
- You didn't.

Come on. We could both use
a cheese roll.

Thanks for being so nice.

That's all right, Em.

I wish Mum was here.

I wish they both were.

I'm surprised she changed her mind.

What Grub wanted...

She's thinking of Jack.

You don't need to worry
about Huan and Yuyan.

They saw something they liked
on Gregor Station.

They'll be with the lawyers now.

They had to do what's
right for the town.

We're meant to be partners.

Should've got the sale in writing.

Haggis, uh,

why don't you take Jackie
and, uh, Rob here?

And Stephen, Ariki, you're with me.

Actually, if you guys, uh...
You just follow me, all right?

Ariki.

He knows.

What?

Stephen told me you suspect him,
and he's pretty pissed off.

Hey, I think I should give this a miss.
I don't even know my way around a gun.

- Nah. You gotta learn sometime.
- Nah, I'd just hold you back.

I need you up there.

- Well, I'll jump in the back.
- No, you'll be fine.

Eyes open, ears on.

Jackie.

Haggis.

Rob?

All right.

Haggis. You and Rob
take the Eastern Gully;

Stephen, Ariki, Northern Circuit;

- and we'll go west, shall we?
- Mm-hm.

Good hunting.

This is for you, bro!

Let's whack some bunnies.

Don't want you getting hurt.

Or anyone else.

You're a lousy shot for a cop.

Just put it in the sack.

And that one.

Right, I'm off to Poachers' Gorge.

Just deal with those.
This bag's pretty full.

Yeah, just pull the tails off.

Count 'em later.

See you back at the hut.

Dermot!

Dermot, get down!

- This is for you, bro.
- Get down, get down, get down!

GRUB, ECHOING: I've had enough.
I want out of the farm.

DERMOT, ECHOING: Five generations of
Braithwaites have worked this land.

My sweat is on every blade of grass.

It's bleeding money!

Well, it's not yours to fuckin' sell!

I loved him, and he loved me.

My bones are in that graveyard,
same as yours.

- The Ryders!
- ALL, ECHOING: The Ryders!

And the Braithwaites.

What's going on?

It was you.

You should've let him shoot me.

You and Grub went to the bridge
that night to do the lock ceremony.

It was an accident.

We were fighting about the farm,

about him trying to sell it out
from underneath me.

We were kissing and then...

shoving.

I love this land
just as much as he did.

More, cos I-I don't...

don't even know who I am
without this...

...dirt under my feet.

Dermot Braithwaite, I'm arresting
you for the murder of Andrew Ryder.

- No. No, no, no!
- Drop it. Drop it!

Drop it, Dermot!

I killed him for nothing.

- Dermot!
- Don't!

Riki told me what happened.

Don't know what you mean.

You took a potshot at him, Rob.
That's illegal.

I swear I didn't see him.

The only thing I was
trying to kill was a bunny.

Aim's been
all over the place.

Too much drinking.

All right. We'll put it down
to a hunting accident.

Hey, we'll see you there!
Let them know you're comin'.

The ute never left the hut, which
is why we missed it the first time.

- They took the quad bike.
- But what about the tooth?

I've got no idea how that tooth
got into Grub's hand.

JOE, ECHOING: Car accident.

They're still pickin' teeth
and bone out of One Lane Bridge.

Now, I don't know
what you think you saw,

but let's be very clear.

This case was solved
by Dermot's confession.

And the supporting evidence.

Not your mumbo jumbo bullshit.

OK?

So how do you fit in?

I don't know.

Yet.

I saw some things... people that
weren't connected to the case,

a wheelchair floating
under the bridge.

See, the signs are always
connected somehow.

Just not the way you first think.

- Thank you for having me.
- It's my absolute pleasure.

I wanna
show you something.

We're on.

We'll take two cars.

Why did you think I killed Grub?

It's always the dodgy cop.

Keeping an eye on me, were you, son?

Ariki.
