Significant Others (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 2 - Episode #1.2 - full transcript

Sarah's missing.

Um, she went out
for a swim and...

Did anyone see
her go into the water?

Yes! Right.

Hanna. Dear god.
Hanna saw her?

What if I don't remember things
right and I tell them to you wrong?

Your brain is probably
finding strengths

that you didn't
even know it had.

What took you so long to
get here yesterday, Claire?

We don't want
Aunty Ursula coming over.

Mum hates her.



Come and find me.

I can help.

Hello?

Are you there? Mum?

Mum, is that you?

Hello?

Hello?

Are you there?

We need you to answer
us, please. Mum?

Mum, is that you?

Oh.

Still not sleeping?

Nup.

Sorry. I don't want to intrude.



I just, uh...

No, thanks.

We're all family.

I feel guilt for not being
there when my mother died.

You know, it's just... it's...

pretty senseless, the way we
do that to ourselves, isn't it?

Do you...

..do you feel guilty for
the way you treated my mum?

I've barely slept
thinking about it.

So yes.

Thought I heard her...

walking in the front door.

I heard the front door too.

What?

Oh!

You alright?

Yeah. No, it's just my phone.

You live near?

I'm alright. Thanks.

Maybe I should call someone.

Well, like, their numbers
are on my phone, so...

My name's Lubermere.

That's my truck, just up there.

Really, I've seen
crazies around.

Yeah? Wh... Uh, what
kind of crazies?

I don't know. Druggies.

Like, someone who's
lost her memory?

No.

OK.

So, can I take you home?

A woman drowned here recently.

I wouldn't like that
to happen to you.

There we go. Ahh!

Hanna! Hanna!

Let's go. Hanna!

Hanna!

Oh, my god. Uh, hi. I'm,
uh... The name's Lubey.

Uh, you're her parents?

No, her aunt. Sorry -
who the hell are you?

I was just giving her a ride.

How dare you do this to us?! Do
you know how frightened we were?

I had this dream...

Did you not stop to
think what we've...

what we've been dealing with?

Ursula, stop.

Don't you talk to me like that.

You know, I lost my sister here...
Yeah, and she lost her mother.

I didn't realise.

I... I'm...

I'm really sorry for your loss.

Sorry.

My mum's missing.

She's missing.

OK? OK.

Let's go.

I reckon, this
weather, with these tides,

body's gonna
surface within days.

What did the police say?
Is she OK? They found her?

Ah. Oh, really?

God. That's, uh...

We're heading back to the house
now. We'll see you there, alright?

The police told them the body
would wash up any day now.

Shit.

Oh, god. OK.

G'day, there.

Hi.

Uh, you're Den, aren't you?
And you must be Claire.

Yep.

I just wanted to come back and
make sure the site was safe.

Want to do the right
thing by Sarah.

Oh, I'll be out of your
hair before you know it.

Doesn't work. I
don't think, physically...

It's gonna work. It's
gonna work. It'll come back.

I thought we said we
were gonna pause the build.

Oh...

He's drumming up business. I mean,
you know what builders are like.

He doesn't want to
lose a contract.

Well, he says he just
needed to make the site safe

and you just sent him
away in such a hurry.

Oh, please. Uh, sorry
- who's paying for him?

Oh, is it Claire?

No.

No. You're gonna be turning
to me. Unless you, Den.

I mean, I don't know - are
you in a position to...

I work bloody hard. Ursula,
we're done fighting Sarah.

Oh, rot. You are not.

It's happening all over again.

I mean, look what
she did to our home.

Did you ever know
what she was up to?

See? I know how you two operate.

And you just... you just keep
on pretending to those children

that I'm the one
taking her house,

you know, I'm the big, bad
wolf, after Mum's will.

You know what?

You two were more than happy
to come to the lawyers with me,

because no-one was more furious
with Sarah than you two!

You hated her for what she
did to us! You hated her!

And actually, it's fair enough.

Ursula, can we not do this?

Not today, please?

Right.

Sick of this.

Enjoy your day.

Hey, what... what are
you... what are you...?

Ursula!

I'll drive you home, eh?

Just, uh... just leave me alone.

You need sleep. Let
me drive you home.

No, because I'm...
I'm not going home.

There something I have to do.

I have to do something.

Oh, god.

Ooh, that's a lot of lotto.

Yeah, well, I guess
she didn't win.

Mmm, no.

Um, nope.

Nope.

And now for tonight's
supplementary...

Nope.

You know, I can
do this by myself.

Yeah but you don't have to.

I found one. Here you go.

Wayne? You want that?
Yeah? Oh, thank you.

I'm pleased you came.

Sarah was... so loved.

All the residents just...

She was fun.

Well, I'm trying to get
across Sarah's affairs.

Like, um... you
know, super and...

Uh... best you chat
that through with me.

I'll help. Not HR?

They can be a bit... officious.

Oh?

Wayne, if you don't mind,

would I be able to have a
quick word with your wife?

Oh, no. No, we're...
we're not...

Oh... No, that's OK.

He's... he's, um... well, he's
Sarah's brother's boyfriend.

Well, partner, really. God,
it's a bit of a mouthful.

Or fiance. Oh...
gosh. I meant that.

Yeah. OK.

I'll... just go and
double-check the scratchies.

OK.

Is it OK if we go
somewhere private?

Yeah.

This is, um, a bit
uncomfortable for me to say.

Um...

even though they never
actually proved it was Sarah

who was stealing
medication from here,

I worry she kept
going and then...

Well, you know, then this.

What do you mean,
she stole drugs?

Sorry? What do you
mean, she stole drugs?

Sarah said she told
her sister everything.

I...

Uh, right. OK.

She said that, did she? That...

I don't think this is the first
attempt Sarah made on her life.

Do you?

I... I don't...

I mean, I don't really...

We can't blame ourselves.

There's nothing more
we could have done.

OK.

I shouldn't have said anything.

No, no. I...

One sec!

Sorry, mate. The other
one was occupied.

Claire?

Yep?

What's your read on the builder?

Oh. Uh...

I don't know. Solid
8.5.

I think he was going
through Sarah's stuff.

Really? Yeah.

Why else would he
use the ensuite?

I don't know. Maybe
Sarah said he could.

Hmm.

Well, just keep an eye on him.

Uh-huh.

And that doesn't mean fuck him.

Since when am I the
bigger slut than you?

Well, since Mum died.

I actually missed you.

Gross.

I'm going to rehearsals.

Oh. Just, um... uh...

Everything alright up there?

No.

I... I only declined
your wedding invite

so I wouldn't detract
from your special day.

Yeah, OK. OK?

Like, I voted yes. Yeah. Fine.

Of course I did. Like...
It's in the past.

But it's not, is it?

Because you couldn't resist your
little dig about it in there.

I said Den's my fiance. He's
my fiance! That's all I said.

It's only because
if Sarah and I...

if we're in the same room
- and you know this -

it's gonna burden
everybody else.

OK. Yeah. Right. Fine. OK?

Fine!

Sarah made the same excuse.

'Cause of me?

Just forget it.
We've forgotten it.

But that's not... why you and Den
postponed your wedding, is it?

Anyway, could she help in there?

Could
you just call me, please?

I'm... I'm really scared, about
what I'm gonna... about what I'm...

It's the house. It's
everything. It's just...

Oh, please forgive me!

Forgive me.

It's from last week.

It's not your fault.

It's not.

That's it -
extend, extend, extend!

Use the space, use
the space. That's it.

Give that energy.

Hey.

It's good to see you, mate.

So, she's OK? They found her?

No. I'm here because
we open next week.

Can't let you down.

Hope you're OK.

Alright. I'll just
put this down here.

Sure. Yeah. Yep.

Alright. Let's take
it from the top.

First positions, please.

Hey, man.

Um... I'm real sorry
about your mum.

Thanks.

Oy. You're the, uh...

You're Ciaran, right?

Yeah.

Yeah, we've got a double free
if you want to tag along.

"Tag along,"
like your mum's strap-on.

Man, don't be slack.
His mum just died.

Oh. Yeah.

Coming?

Oi, Neha. Oi, yourself.

Come to battery. We've
got legal studies.

Yeah, what if I serve you a...

What are those
called? Subpoena?

Yeah. What if I subpoena you?

OK. Bye, Lucas.

She'll come.

Come on, bro.

It's complicated.
You're still a virgin.

Yeah, we don't talk
about that anymore.

No. He's just an idiot.

Would you rather the first 90%
of a blow job, or the last 10%?

Last 10 every time.

Dirty.

Was that your 20th one, bro?

What? This is bulking...
it's bulking season.

Oh,
plenty more than...

Four. More than four.

G'day, Mr Huntley.

I'll be checking to make sure
you all have free periods.

Copy that, sir.

Tuck your shirt in.

You might not be Einstein but
at least try and look smart.

And you - stop being such
a slob. Tuck your shirt in.

Do I know you?

Where's your uniform?

Got the day off, sir.

I'm Ciaran Houlihan.

Oh. Ciaran.

I, uh...

You get off on being
the uniform police

but... you're a joke.

Sir.

Look at your clothes.

You're just a pussy.

Alright, Ciaran.

What?

Shit.

Bro!

He just did a
fuckin' shit in his daks!

Can I drive?

Come on.

Get in!

What the fuck?!

Whoo! Easy, easy. Easy, easy!

You're gonna have
to stop. Brake.

Brake, brake, brake, brake!

Jeez, that's alright.

Oh, yeah.

Thanks. I, um... I started
making them when...

You made it?

Yeah. I didn't know she had...

Sarah must have...

set up a fake account
to buy one at Christmas!

Oh, it's a Christmas tree!

Thought it was just a sculpture.

Well, it was but they sell
better as Christmas trees, so...

She said she
had a creative sister.

Did she?

She'd get flustered, you know,
looking at the house plans.

Ah.

And she mentioned a sister,

saying she'd be able to see it.

I guess that was you.

Guess it was.

How long have you been welding?

Uh... two years.

Moved up to the country.

Quit the whole art scene and,
uh, pretty much sold out.

Started making these. So...

Well, they're
excellent. Thanks.

Hey. You alright?
You need something?

No.

Sorry.

No luck with the phone yet?

No. I'm gonna put these up.

OK. Not by yourself.

You'll come with me?

No, I've gotta
watch the builder.

Why?

It'd be quicker if you drove me.

Let's walk, OK?

Come on.

Yeah, the boys are home.
They're waiting for me.

Yeah. Scott's been texting,
wanting to scoop me up.

Whatever that means.

Am I such a cold-hearted bitch?

Yeah.

You know, I used to
be funny like you.

Oh, please. When? I did.

Name one time. Don't.

You know Xavier's about
to move out of home?

It's inevitable that Hanna and
Ciaran will come here and...

..that'll be a laugh a minute,

because they've taken
such a shine to me.

Den will want to
be a part of that.

And for what it's worth,

I think you're right.

It's not intruding, taking
charge of Sarah's affairs.

Someone has to.
This has happened.

And if you want someone
by your side, someone...

you know, like me, who's once
removed from the whole thing, then...

..I'm there.

I mean, you've got
Scott, of course.

Yeah. Got Scott.

Just gotta
get the dogs in the car.

Yeah.

Just gotta keep praying.

Keep praying for her.

Wayne. Ah, Scott.

Yeah. G'day. Good to...
Haven't seen you since...

Yeah.

So sorry we couldn't
make your wedding.

I bet it was fabulous.

Uh, we postponed. Oh, OK.

OK. We had that, uh... we
had that thing in Thredbo.

Uh, Matthew got pretty far
with competitive skiing.

Oh, wow. That's
going alright, then?

Nah, he broke his leg. Oh,
I did all my ligaments.

No! Yeah.

The priest called.

He must have heard.

Oh. Lovely. I'll
give him a tingle.

I just... I think I need
to go back there tonight.

Sleep over again at the house.

Right.

Uh, do you want me to...

Oh, Wayne'll take me. Mm-hm.

Hey. Hanna.

Hey. You OK?

Yeah. Um... I was just wondering
if I could put these up.

Um...

..sure, I... I guess.

Are these in case, um...

in case she's been found?

Yeah.

Or if she's around,
you know, and...

Right.

Also, um, what's your Instagram?

'Cause, um, I'm
just gonna, like...

..you know, make some posters to
help find her and I can tag you.

Uh, I'm... Oh, nah.
Don't... tag me.

OK. Um...

Sorry.

I wanted to say
thank you, as well.

Thank you so much.

What for?

For... for getting the helicopter
back out the other night.

Helicopter?

I mean, but how would I do that?

Because you're a lifesaver.

Oh, no, um... I'm not.

They just let us throw our
stuff here for my work.

I... you know,
I'm a... I'm a PT.

I do personal training
on the beach, so...

Right.

Except that, like, you were
there and you saved me.

I...

I was just there. Yeah, I...

I wasn't, you know... I wish...

OK. Well...

Someone tore them down!

OK. Um...

It was probably
just the council.

OK. We need to go and check all the
ones that we hung the other night.

OK.

Yeah. No, no, I get that.
No, could just be...

Yep. Pranksters. No.
All of them, though.

You tell her, all
of them... OK. Yes.

All of the posters from the other
night were gone, so that's...

I mean, I...

I don't want to say targeted...
Has she traced the call yet?

Right. Right, yeah.

Yeah.

No, some people, they
don't know... compassion.

Yep.

Oh, OK.

Um, do I need to sign for
my messages to her to be...

Yeah, no, no. That... No,
that's fine. That's fine.

I don't want my siblings seeing
my messages to Sarah, so...

No. No, no, no.

No, we just said some catty
things when we were...

Yeah, no... No, it's all
ancient history but I, um...

No, I just don't want
them to take offence.

So, when, uh, will you be
done with Sarah's phone?½

Hey.

Hi. I was just, um...

This has been leaking from some
of the plumbing we patched,

so I didn't want to...

Oh, and I knocked over
your tea. I'm... I'm sorry.

Oh, that's alright.

OK. Yep.

Alright. Pretty good. Um...

Thanks.

You alright, Den?

Yeah. It's good.

OK.

Yeah. I'll help
you. We have to climb?

I'm nearly 110 kilos!
We're gonna have to climb?

This is it.

Whoa.

Balls. Are we there?
Want some help, bro?

Nah.

Not gonna check out the view?

No.

Who needs an ocean
view anyway, hey?

Sometimes I forget
what happened.

My brain tries to...

I... I don't know.

I didn't sleep last night.

Like, not at all?

Well, I reckon if you
were sleeping soundly,

there'd actually
be something wrong.

I've got enough wrong with me.

Are you gonna come back
to school with an Uzi?

No.

Can only get my hands on a Nerf.

Is that your friend?

Uh, hold... hold up.

What are you doing?

I... heard you were at
school and then I, um...

You should go. Um, Mr Huntley
was at the shops earlier, so...

Are you coming?

No-one's giving me a detention.

Can I come over later?

It's a... it's a
shit time, Becky.

I'm... OK.

Wait. Wait, wait a sec. Just...

You... you left that at mine.

I'll message you.

OK.

Um...

You don't have to say
anything about my mum.

Where'd you get them?

Does it matter?

What are you looking for?

Toothbrush.

Oh, Den wanted dental floss.
Have you got any dental floss?

Yeah.

Always. I've got that
- just no toothbrush.

Can we borrow it?

What the hell is that?

What are they? Oh, my god.

Um...

trevally, maybe?

No, I think it's bonito.

Den's gonna love this.

Hey.

Hey.

I'm good.

Come on. You've been
working all day.

I'm on my last two demerits.

Ah.

Well, if I promise to
get you home safely,

will you have a
drink with me then?

Save me from this place?

It's, um... it's just temporary.

You still want that drink?

Yeah, fuckin' oath!

I like how you've
used the space.

It's just a bit of a stop-gap.

Mm-hm.

You could chuck a party.

It's not really set
up for entertaining.

Says the guy with the spa bath.

Ta.

Hmm. How old?

Three. Aww!

Four. She's four.

They just
had a party, so...

Mmm.

What, you didn't get invited?

Uh, this place...

It's good for work.

You know, storing
things and that.

Mmm.

I didn't want to be too far away
from where my daughter's mum lives.

Uh, I... I can't.

What - you're saving
yourself for marriage?

Oh... come on...

What... what can I do?

You're doing it.

OK.

Turn round. Turn around.

My fucking sister?

Claire, I, um...

I..I. tried to tell you.

Sarah and I were... we weren't
in a good place, which...

Stay the fuck away
from my family.

I was improvising one
of your nan's old recipes.

Oh, god. I wish I could get
my hands on her recipe book.

Do you know where
your mum put it?

We don't really miss Nan's
cooking. We miss Mum's cooking.

Oh, darling.

What's your
favourite dish?

Um... her salami pasta.

Probably, yeah.

What about
the pizza squares?

Ah! There she is!
Slaughter the fatted calf.

Great! Great. I've been waiting.

Hey, um, my phone
works. Ciaran fixed it.

Great.

I have some news,
now that we're all here.

Go for it, hon.

Uh, my company has agreed
to put me on leave,

which is really good of them -

it's... it's really good.

Um... yeah, 'cause I'm so done

with serviced apartments
and suitcase living.

Yeah.

Well, leave's not
forever but, like,

we were talking about
some, you know, like...

an admin role but it could
become something more.

You know, to be more stable.

You know? And, uh,
I'll have more time.

I'll... I'll be around more
and more time to cook -

I do a really amazing pizza.

Mmm. We did a course
on dough, actually.

Ah. Mmm.

Don't all clap at once.

Congratulations. Thank you.

Well, you've been doing it
so long, you need to retire.

Yep. Um...

I did think I was a bit
on borrowed time but...

Um, let's talk about Mummy's... not
Mummy's - your mummy's yummy pizza.

Um, I didn't know
Sarah was a, um...

Um... yeah, well, she...

No, she just buys, like,
a frozen base and then...

cuts it into squares for us, like,
when she has night shifts and...

Sometimes she even
puts some salt on it.

We just really love it.

Well, I phoned,
um, Father Shirley.

Remember him? He was the
priest at your nan's funeral.

Well, he's very kindly offered
to hold a prayer service for us,

which...

I thought is a very lovely gesture,
so I have asked for tomorrow,

to fit in with him.

What kind of service?

Some... prayers, by the water.

Like a funeral?

No, no - to ask for
God's intercession.

You know... comfort.

Problem?

Well, I'm an
atheist, for a start.

I'm not... I'm anything,
so if you need people...

Mum's not dead.

Hanna... What?

What, Ciaran?

The police are literally
still looking for her.

They're gonna find the person
who took the posters down and...

You can pray for
a miracle, Hanna.

Hmm?

Well, let's eat. DEN: Mmm.

I'll do it. I'll serve.

Hi. What are you doing?

I'm trying to... I'm
trying to fix this.

Right.

What?

Well, just thought I'd
give you one last chance.

I'm not... I'm not coming.

So, tell me, Claire.

I went and saw Sarah's
colleague, Lorrie.

Trying to get
across her affairs.

OK. We need to include
the kids in that.

Yeah, well...

I'm hopeful her superannuation
includes a death payment.

It's a really horrible term

but that's what it's
called, so...

OK. Do you want me
to follow it up?

We've gotta be
careful, don't we?

Because the police give the
coroner a brief of evidence.

And if suicide is mentioned,

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

You knew Sarah was investigated
for stealing medication.

Hmm?

I don't know what
you're talking about.

No, no - Lorrie told me that
you came in to support Sarah

when her work investigated
- now, when was that?

OK, look, that...

She wasn't disciplined
because it wasn't true

and they dropped it.

You know what? Lorrie is so sad.

You know why? 'Cause she thinks
she could've done something.

And she said, for a
nurse, it's really easy

to disguise suicide
as a drowning,

to protect the children.

But you know what?

Lorrie shouldn't
have done something -

I should have done something,

because you should
have told us, Claire!

You should have told
me that my sister...

But she... she wasn't...
She took her own life!

She didn't... she...

That's not... It's a...

No. It's not... That's not it.

Isn't it? No.

Um...

I'll come. I'll come
to your prayer thing.

I'll just... I'll meet
you down there, OK?

Um, no... wait -
where are you going?

I'll come. I'll come to your
thing. I'll just get changed.

Well, what if I don't
want you to come now.

Fine. Pray for your own
fucking forgiveness.

This vista. It's
beautiful. Yeah.

Shall we... go over there?

Yes. Wherever you think, um...

OK.

I actually said to get the
battery-operated candles.

I mean, they're... terrific.

This... it's nearly dead,
is what it essentially is.

You know, they're waterproof
and they're flameproof, so...

In this time of suffering,

it gives me comfort to see
you come together in Christ.

What is the constant we can come back
to, in the ups and downs of life?

What keeps us afloat?

The gospel tells of this
man who's brought to Jesus

and he's possessed by a demon.

And this guy, he kept
falling into fire and water.

Well, his disciples had no luck

but Jesus cast the demon out.

Then they asked, "Well,
hang on, Christ...

"why couldn't we do it?"

Jesus replied, "Because you
guys have so little faith.

"with faith the size
of a mustard seed,

"you can move a mountain."

So...

there you go.

Nothing is impossible.

Our patrol will keep
looking for when Sarah surfaces.

She didn't kill herself. She didn't.
Yeah, well, you don't know that.

You don't know! I do.

Someone's
interfering with her.

A person out there
knows where she is.

What are you afraid of?

Dying?

Don't. Don't what?

Don't tell him.

I just keep
seeing her in the water.

Waving goodbye.
