DEN: Sarah's missing.
Um, she went out for a swim and...
URSULA: 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?
CIARAN: We don't want Aunty Ursula coming over.
HANNA: Mum hates her.
Come and find me.
I can help.

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?
(SEAGULLS CALL)
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!
(STARTS ENGINE) WAYNE: Hanna! Hanna!
Let's go. 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.
(HELICOPTER ROTORS WHIRR)
MAN: (ON RADIO) 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.
(SLAMS TRUCK DOOR) 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.
CIARAN: Doesn't work. I don't think, physically...
HANNA: It's gonna work. It's gonna work. It'll come back.
URSULA: I thought we said we were gonna pause the build.
DEN: 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. (SLAMS DOOR)
Enjoy your day.
(TYRES SCREECH) (GASPS)
Hey, what...what are you... what are you...?
(DOG BARKS NEARBY)
WAYNE: 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...

DEN: Claire?
Yep?
What's your read on the builder?
Oh. Uh... (SIGHS)
I don't know. Solid 8.5. (CHUCKLES)
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.
(LAUGHS)
I actually missed you.
Gross.
I'm going to rehearsals.
(FRONT DOOR OPENS, SHUTS)
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?
(HELICOPTER FLIES OVERHEAD)
Anyway, could she help in there?
SARAH: (ON VOICEMAIL) 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.

(CHUCKLES)
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...
(CHUCKLES) She said she had a creative sister.
Did she?
She'd get flustered, you know, looking at the house plans.
Ah. (CHUCKLES)
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.
(BEEPING)
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?
(SIGHS)
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.
(CHUCKLES)
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.
(FRONT DOOR OPENS) Just gotta get the dogs in the car.

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.

He must have heard.
Oh. Lovely. I'll give him a tingle.
I just... I think I need to go back there tonight.

Uh, do you want me to...
Oh, Wayne'll take me. Mm-hm.
(HELICOPTER FLIES OVERHEAD)
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. (CHUCKLES)
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.

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.
(LAUGHS)
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?
WAYNE: 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.

Ah.
Well, if I promise to get you home safely,
will you have a drink with me then?

Stay the fuck away from my family.
DEN: 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.
URSULA: Oh, darling.
WAYNE: What's your favourite dish?
Um...her salami pasta.
Probably, yeah.
CIARAN: 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.
DEN: 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.
CIARAN: 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.
CLAIRE: 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.
CIARAN: 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.
(THUNDER RUMBLES)
(RAIN PATTERS)
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... (SIGHS)
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.
(LAUGHS)
Fine. Pray for your own fucking forgiveness.
(THUNDER RUMBLING)
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?
(THUNDER RUMBLES)
(SIGHS)
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?"
(WIND GUSTS)
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.
