Significant Others (2022) s01e06 Episode Script

1
We can divide up the house.
We'll get more that
way, if I do the renos.
Oh, what the fuck? This isn't
about money, it is about love.
You know what? Tell Ursula to back off.
She says that she's doing this for you
and, "Fighting her battle," for you -
bull.
It's about her, it's about
Scott and it's just about greed.
I know about this theory of yours.
- What theory?
- About Sarah killing herself.
- She didn't kill herself. She didn't.
- Yeah but You don't know.
And if suicide is mentioned,
our sister's little bit of
life insurance will be void.
You know the builder has
to come back to finish it.
- Like, he actually has to.
- I know.
Just saying it doesn't make it true.
It's Ciaran. He's gonna
do something really bad.
Wayne.
Don't look at it, Ciaran.
- Hey, look away.
- I'd listen to your uncle, mate.
- Doesn't hurt.
- Gotta get every speck out of here.
I'm sorry.
- It's not my fault.
- It never is.
There's a limit to how
much we can put up with.
And I've nearly reached mine.
Jake'll be alright.
He'll be OK, won't he?
We hope so.
Keep going.
Oh, excuse me. Um, when
can we take Ciaran home?
I think you have to talk to the police.
- Right. OK.
- Sorry about that.
It's fine.
Hey. Sorry, who are you?
Um, she's my sister.
- OK. We've still gotta ask, right?
- Mm-hm.
She's with me. You OK?
Hey, I I didn't say anything
to the cops about your brother.
- Are you OK?
- Yeah.
I'm good. I'm good. Um
It's, uh, just that they, um
won't say anything about that boy.
Is it Jake?
Yeah.
I need to know if
he's alright, you know?
He's not gonna die.
- It's OK. Yep?
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
He's not gonna die.
Just breathe.
Breathe.
Hanna?
Hanna.
Come on.
- Let's go.
- Um, I'm just
Uh I'm helping George.
Yeah and I want you to
come with me, please.
It's fine. You should go.
I'm helping George and
I'm going to take her home.
What? No. You are not.
Hey, it's OK. Come on.
Actually, can I have a word,
please, with you, Georgia?
Yeah, OK.
About what?
Hanna, give us a moment, please.
You're gonna embarrass me.
- The girl is 16.
- "The girl"?
What about Ciaran? I'm
sorry, what have I done?
- She is grieving
- Oh, my God. Stop!
Hanna, whatever this crush
is, if you do it in public,
it reflects on us.
- We're the parents. We're in charge.
- Oh!
I don't want you in charge of me,
'cause you're a fucking hypocrite.
Hanna, stop it!
I am helping George
and I'm going to take her home.
Come on.
Uh, you need to take charge.
Your siblings are morons,
true to form.
Oh!
- No.
- You sore?
Well, yeah. OK.
From the fall?
I don't want to talk about it.
- You OK?
- Yep. I'm OK.
OK. 'Cause if I'm going
to help you, I need you
Talking about it isn't helping.
OK. Ciaran's not making this up.
About that kid finding Sarah.
You know, they're right. Victims.
Eugh! Oh, this coffee's off.
- Eh?
- I think the milk's curdled.
Uh, it can't be. It just came
out of a little sachet.
It doesn't go off. It's UHT.
Ultra-heated. Even more pasteurised.
I'm trying, Urs.
Just in here, thanks.
It's alright. We'll be right.
- What?
- Yeah, yeah. Just leave us to it.
- It's cool. We'll I'll deal with it.
- Urs!
Just take a seat over there.
Um, we've got the funeral this week,
which is part of why things are
um
We just really need to
put this time behind us.
And is he alright? The boy?
It seems like it was
just a concussion but
there will be an investigation
into Ciaran's actions.
He took this boy out onto the
water and from what I can gather,
he set out to deliberately harm him.
I need someone to sign that
you accept Ciaran into your care
until further arrangements can be made.
This needs to be signed
before you leave here tonight.
Constable, um
is it alright if we have
the room for a moment?
Yep.
Of course.
OK.
Mmm.
I mean, I think we always knew it
was gonna come to this, didn't we?
Me and Scott,
with our sister's children, in my home.
- Well, they could stay in the house.
- Mmm.
Oh, can they? Really?
Are you gonna be there?
Wayne and I are ready for this.
And I want to
but Hanna made it very
clear it's not gonna work.
Den, she didn't mean that.
Well, maybe you don't
see it the way I see it.
Come on! She's, like a kid.
I'll do it.
I'll take Ciaran and Hanna.
Actually, permanently, if needs be.
'Cause you know what?
I'd consider it an honour.
But you will give me
the full funeral mass
that our sister deserves.
And we will be a family.
Oh, wow.
- I'll show you how it's done.
- Oh.
- One Another one?
- Yep.
Yeah. Two. Alright. Your go.
Can you do it? Can you
do it? Can you do it?
- Come on, mate!
- Idiot!
It's been on the floor! Eat it!
-Hey, mate.
- Hey, mate.
Uh, you want some cereal?
Is Aunty Ursula about?
Garage.
With Dad.
It's where they go to fight.
Fighting about me?
No.
I should probably go.
Um, gotta pick up
Hanna, before the thing.
Uh, no. You're staying here, mate.
That's what Mum said.
But we'll drive you to the thing.
Massive day for you and everything.
Do you want to borrow a suit
for the funeral tomorrow, or ?
Um
no, Uncle Wayne's sorting that.
Boys, I asked for this bin to go out.
That reeks! It needs to go
out, please, like I asked.
- Did you sleep alright?
- Yeah.
Father Shirley's kindly given
us access to the church, so
I just
I just want to be prompt, you know?
A sign of gratitude.
Can you just hold there?
- Right there?
- Yep.
I should just let the
seawater get to it later.
- Oh, no. That'd sting.
- It would heal it.
- Uh
- Sorry!
Yeah, alright!
- Hello.
- Hey.
Do we really have to go to
this church rehearsal thing?
Don't blame me. You can
blame your Aunty Ursula.
Oh, I will.
Right.
Atta girl.
Hey. Gimme those.
I'm right.
It stresses everyone out, you know.
Staying at that woman's place.
She's way too old for you.
Old for what? We're not
eating each other out.
What? What is your problem?
Can you just please calm down?
My cousins already
think I'm fuckin' mental.
Ciaran
get over yourself.
- Hey. Hanna Montana.
- How's it going, mate?
Uh yeah.
- Yeah. Good. Yeah.
- Yeah. We get it.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
Sorry.
- Yeah. See you in there.
- Yeah.
OK.
Hey.
No. No, no, no.
- She's just gonna nap up the back.
- We mustn't.
You know, Father's very
kindly given me the church.
Can you just put her in the car?
- I am not doing that.
- Alright! Well, the foyer, then.
Leashed.
Come on. Come on, girl.
Um, they haven't been cleaned properly.
Come on.
Come on. Good girl.
You doing OK?
Um yeah.
You slept OK?
I slept on her floor.
No, Hanna.
I wanted to, uh
- OK. Ready?
- Yep. Big, loud voice.
For all of us who
That's OK. It's why we have rehearsal.
You can do it, mate.
For all of us who know sin
may we always be
ready to acknowledge
our wrongdoing
and seek God's forgiveness.
Lord, hear us.
Response.
It's their mother's funeral.
Does he want to be up there? Does Hanna?
- I didn't force them
- It's OK. I can do it.
We pray, through my mum's intercession,
for those sick and dying.
May they
may they discover the
redemptive value of their suffering.
Is that your phone doing that?
Lord hear
Lord hear us. Response.
-
- Lord, hear our prayer.
Hanna.
Sorry. I just
I don't think these these
prayers are very, like
Mum.
You know? Um
Can Ciaran and I go home
and just, like, rewrite them?
- Is that alright?
- Um Boys?
No. Alone.
- Just watch your step, boys.
- Yeah, yeah.
Yep. Got it.
That's done there.
Hey, look, there's termites
all through the prick.
Uh who are you?
Hi. Sorry. Um, speak to the boss.
What is this?
The deposit doesn't cover half my costs.
- Just following the contract.
- Oh.
Uh, is there a clause in there
about you having a tantrum as well?
Hey, I have to survive too, OK?
Hey, Ali!
Are we taking this guttering?
- Bit of rust on it.
- Yeah. Take everything.
- Yeah. Sweet.
- What the fuck?
Fucking builders!
Oh, my God!
You just fuck everyone over, don't you?
You're just gonna keep
fucking my family, aren't you?
- I'm talking to you!
- I was out there!
Out on the water, every
morning and night that I could.
I was there, searching for her!
I loved her and I thought
she was gonna be my future.
Boss, are you alright?
- Here.
- No, thanks.
I'm good.
Just go get the guttering.
Where's your family?
Um, Mum's at the
She's at the hospital.
They let me out but she had to stay.
Well, is What happened?
Nah, she she's just
gotta go there for stuff.
Um, do you
do you want a drink?
Do you do you want to sit down or
We're not your friends.
I'm I'm sorry. I'm I'm an idiot.
I I tried to tell you.
Heaps of times.
Why'd you tear down the posters?
I don't know.
Because maybe, at first,
I thought I could
I could make this go away.
You lie about stuff.
- I don't.
- Ciaran.
I kept trying to tell you.
Every time I saw you or
or came to your door, I
It was you, wasn't it?
You called us.
Yeah.
And I I don't care
what happens to me now.
Hello?
Hello?
You there?
Hello?
I I was trying. I really was.
We need you to answer us, please.
Mum?
Mum, is that you?
I just can't face things.
And when you found her,
was it
She just looked like she was asleep?
Is is that what you need to hear?
No.
The truth would be good too.
It was my mum's birthday.
I I couldn't handle it.
Jake Jakey!
Come on!
I was just trying to go fishing.
You know, I like fishing.
Something was weird that day.
And when I pulled up the anchor,
it was
but it was
I panicked. I didn't know what to do.
'Cause
what will happen
when she finds out
my mum?
How do I say goodbye to her?
That morning
I slept in.
And
even when I woke up, I
I just sat there playing on my phone.
Because Mum wasn't there to
hassle me about screen time.
And if I had one chance
just one more minute
with my mum
This is stupid.
I'd show her this video
I found on YouTube.
That day.
I watch it all the time.
'Cause it would have made her laugh.
You know?
Dumb little thing but
would have made her laugh.
I'd like to hear her laugh.
Ave Maria ♪
Gratia plena ♪
Gratia plena ♪
Maria ♪
Maria, gratia plena ♪
Oh, thank you, Father.
That was wonderful.
Thank you.
You alright?
Um I'll just have
a chat to them, alright?
- Hey.
- Hey.
So, that time at Merimbula
OK. I'll say that.
And then
I don't know, the Barbie
story? Maybe that'll do.
What what Barbie story?
You know, she cut off my Barbie's
hair and never admitted to it.
- Kept telling me it looked chic.
- Yeah, yeah. I remember. Yeah.
Oh, yeah. OK. And then just
end it with something positive.
I
Yeah, I can't
- What?
- I don't want to.
I don't want to do I
don't want to do it this.
- Yeah, you can! You just
- No.
- Write it out and practise it.
- I can't.
- Yeah, it's
- I can't. I
I just
I just can't forgive her.
- Yeah, you can.
- No.
Um
She got she got she
She got it wrong, the, um
the dosage, for Mum.
It wasn't peaceful.
It was
horrible.
Um
Mum was having these terrible
hallucinations and she, um
she
was screaming for hours and, um
I just remember hearing
a thud.
I mean, Mum couldn't
even walk but she
got out of bed and she
crawled to the doorway
and there was vomit and
she wet herself and, um
and that's
that's where she died, she
died on the floor, in the doorway.
I don't even remember how
we got her back onto the bed
but we scrubbed her and
tidied it up and
made it look clean for you.
Sarah wouldn't let me tell you.
And I didn't really want
to, 'cause it was so awful.
And, um
I was scared you'd
But I can't carry this on my own.
I'm just so angry she did that to Mum.
And I can't let it go, so I
I don't know how to do this.
I can't
grieve.
It was me.
What?
I cut off your Barbie's hair.
Oh, wow.
Ciaran, you know you
couldn't have saved Mum.
Right?
Even if you'd woken up, you know?
Even if you'd been there, you just
You couldn't, trust me.
I was there. I know.
Sometimes
I watch the video because it
I try to cry.
And I can't. I can't cry.
Hmm.
Did you want to watch it now?
No.
Wait, oh, my God!
Jakey.
Do you need another sleep?
No.
Are you gonna come in?
Yeah.
Check this out.
Play it again.
OK.
Oh.
Eugh.
Hey, why did you scrub her?
Huh?
You said that you
you scrubbed Mum.
Sorry. I don't know
why I said 'scrubbed'.
She, um
There was vomit in her
hair and there was
So we we had to clean her up.
Yeah, I couldn't have done that.
You know, what you did for Mum?
It was it was so brave.
And I'm sorry I didn't
I didn't listen to you
about not going to the morgue to
see Sar, you know, because I
thought I could.
You were right.
- Ciaran.
- Mate.
- Hey.
- We won.
Hey?
We won the the lotto thing.
The scratchie?
Yeah.
How much?
$11.50.
Oh.
I thought we could do frozen pizzas.
- Maybe.
- Oh. That's great.
Bit of hay fever.
I should take an antihistamine.
It's the cat.
Yeah, your mum probably wore
it more like a cocktail dress.
What do you think,
Hanna? How do you feel?
Hey, Den.
Maybe a jaffle. Corn and cheese?
Doesn't she look fabulous?
Yes.
It looks like it was made for you.
I wonder if that would fit me.
I don't know but I'd
love to see you in it.
- You'd look great in a dress.
- I can wear anything.
Oh, fuck.
Sorry.
For a brief moment there, I thought
that you were her.
Mum?
Yeah.
You're so much like her.
- Am I?
- Mmm.
This was our spot.
We used to, uh, sneak out
here and talk about boys.
You know, you're like her too.
- Really?
- Mmm.
In what way?
Like in the way you move.
Well, maybe you should
be moving with me.
Uh, no, that's OK.
I'm very Stop doing that.
I'm very uncoordinated! You know that.
- No, you're not.
- Yes, I am. I can't dance.
- You can!
- No, I can't.
When I dance, it's just like
it's No-one should have to
- It's very wrong.
- Hanna, nothing is wrong!
- Oh, at parties, there is wrong
- Dance with me.
It's fine. Just get down low.
Click out the beat.
Yeah. Mmm.
Mmm. See?
- No
- Yes, you can!
Then, when you feel it, you're ready,
you go light.
That's it.
Up. Up and
Yeah.
That's it!
I know the funeral is tomorrow.
That's why I thought I'd get
the answers to you sooner.
We know the tides. We
can predict the currents.
Regular patterns, you know?
And then there's this.
This is the day and the time,
pinpointed with the data.
It's different.
Yeah. Just this day, it's different.
Oh.
So what about toxicology?
The coroner will hand
down her findings in time.
Um, we need to know.
Yeah, there's a small
amount of life insurance
that would help keep this
home for Hanna and Ciaran.
I think you should know that.
I can tell you that there
was nothing in the report
or the examination
that indicated drugs or alcohol
or any natural medical event.
There's no recommendations
for criminal proceedings.
My own statement will conclude
that it's highly likely
Sarah went for a swim,
that she went out on her own volition,
in a stretch of water
that she knows well.
Significant changes in the condition
just took her out further than expected.
It's likely that she lost her bearings
and drowned from exhaustion.
The coroner's expected
to hand down a finding
of death by misadventure.
There's no blame here.
You decent?
Yes.
Wow. Looking good.
One more thing.
Now, traditionally, I'd say black
but at the end of the day,
I'm a homosexual florist.
Go to town.
It's your choice. No, you'll look good.
- Ooh!
- Is it tight?
Little.
You're gonna look
good. It'll be worth it.
You look so grown up!
It's killing me.
You surround yourself
with people you love and
Oh, shit.
What?
I know. It's terrible.
How's it going?
- It's not good.
- No?
- What have you got?
- OK.
So, um, the acknowledgement of country
and then I thank guests for
those that are travelling,
so I'll thank them
and that's easy, 'cause that's,
like, I'm reading it off the list.
OK.
And then I say, um
that first meeting was
quite unique.
It was a very special
time in my life and, uh
Oh, God. It's terrible!
No, it's just
I mean, it's a bit robotic but
I'm a dancer!
We don't do speeches!
Well, I was a dancer
and now I can't fit into my pants.
Just breathe.
Right?
Dancers do that all the time.
Right?
I mean, it's the same thing.
So at the end of every sentence, just
take a breath.
That's good.
How did you get so wise?
Well, I'm not an expert or anything.
But I kind of reckon before
you get it together
you need to fall apart.
Yes.
Everything needs to fall apart.
And then
then you learn to live again.
I mean, like learn how
to kind of live life more.
Urs?
- Yeah?
- Is the rent negotiable?
There's no man-cave.
What?
I'm using humour. Relax.
Because the people you've lost
are missing out on all of this.
I call upon the persons here present
to be a fellow witness with me in
this marriage between Wayne and Den.
We're here not only to witness
their commitment to each other
So, could I please ask
Narelle to present the rings?
Wayne, please take Den's ring
place it on his finger
and repeat after me,
"I give you this ring "
I give you this ring
" to wear with love and joy."
to wear with love and joy.
"As a ring has no end "
As a ring has no end
" neither shall my love for you."
neither shall my love for you.
"I choose you to be my husband "
I choose you to be my husband
" this day and forever more."
this day and forever more.
And you know more about love now too.
Maybe the peonies next,
or the lamb's ears.
I'll take these to the van.
Hey.
I have nothing to say to you.
That's that's your
right. It's just
I just I just wanted
to say I'm s-sorry.
The way I treated you
was so wrong.
I disrespected you.
I will never come back from that.
By virtue of the authority vested in me
and with good wishes
of all here present,
I have much pleasure in declaring
you to be husband and husband.
You may seal this deal with a kiss!
So you cling on to the things
that you know are important.
Because you know now
they can be taken away.
Ladies and gentlemen, the
newlyweds! Den and Wayne!
It's almost gone.
I had a good nurse.
Yeah.
So, yeah.
That's how you do it.
That's how you start to rebuild
bit by bit
into something new.
I think that's how it goes.
You know what we need? It's
time for you guys to dance.
- Everyone wants you to dance.
- No!
Yes! Hit it. Everyone!
Don't you think the grooms should dance?
Yeah! Yes!
Can we please have some music?
I do flowers!
- Time to dance.
- Oh!
You'll need to teach me. Teach me,
darling. You're the professional.
Is that all you got?
Well, I've got the other side.
Ooh. I'll drive.
Don't look!
Whoo! Whoo!
- You OK?
- Yeah.
This place will be worth
a motza when we're done.
Oh, Scott!
Come on!
No!
Remember? Oh!
- Do you?
- Oh, yeah.
Yeah!
Aaaah!
- Let's do it, let's do it.
- OK.
