(TENSE MUSIC)
(BOTH PANT AND MOAN)
I am a little engaged.
CLARE: Dan. Lina.
DAN: It's a pleasure
to meet you, Lina.
(BOTH GASP)
Can I grab the ring?
Polish it up for the wedding.
-(GASPS)
-(LAMP SHATTERS)
-LINA: Where are you going?
-To Axel and Clare's.
They're good people.
Plenty of good people
do messed-up things.
Hey, Dan. They're
they're my friends.
CLARE: I'm so glad we're
finally doing this.
Gives us a chance to get to
know each other a little better.
(CLARE SHRIEKS)
Oh, my God! (LAUGHS
HYSTERICALLY)
Just Sorry.
CAIN: I thought maybe
we could get Dan
to come and have
a look at things.
(LINA WHISPERS) Oh, my God.
CAIN: I love you, you know that?

How long is this gonna take?
TESS: Well, they usually ask
our clients a ton of questions.
You'll need to be as
detailed as possible.
They'll want a
timeline of everything.
-Mm-hm.
-The screenshots, the messages.
And they'll need the video.
It's blackmail.
I know this sucks.
(DOOR OPENS)
(WOMAN MUTTERS) Excuse me.
(RAPS DESK) Excuse me.
CONSTABLE: I'll be
with you in a second.
WOMAN: No, I don't
have a second.
Someone just fuckin' robbed me.
(SIGHS) I mean,
what if I just change my number?
Just throw away my phone?
I heard about a case at
work a few months ago.
This guy kept spamming his ex.
As soon as she blocked him,
he put her nudes
in their work chat.
My opinion? One way or
another, you end up here.
You might as well
be in charge of it.
-I don't feel in charge.
-WOMAN: ..do about it?!
Told ya, didn't I?
Useless, the bloody lot of 'em.
WOMAN: And I told you
to shut the fuck up.
(DISTURBING MUSIC)
WOMAN: Oi!
What are you looking
at?! Fucking bitch.
Oi! Oi! (BANGS BARRIER)
You're just sitting there.
-(YELLS INDISTINCTLY)
-CONSTABLE: Ma'am, calm down.
WOMAN: You're just lookin'
at me doing fuckin' nothing.
-CONSTABLE: Calm down.
-WOMAN: I'm not gonna calm down!
(DISTURBING MUSIC)
-(HIGH-PITCHED RINGING)
-(MUSIC FADES)
I can't do it.
(BREATHES HEAVILY)
-I can't do it, Tess.
-OK, Lina, listen.
I hate that you're
going through this,
but what other
choice do you have?
Let's find this person
and make them stop.
TESS: How?
Just let me figure it out.
OK? I need to get back,
but I'll call you.
TESS: Lina
(SOLEMN MUSIC)
(SOLEMN MUSIC CONTINUES)
(MOANS)
(DOOR OPENS)
Hey, is two grand too
much for a wedding suit?
I can't decide.
And how long are you
gonna be? 'Cause I stink.
Do you wanna join me?
OK.
(TENDER MUSIC)
-LINA: Mm.
-(PLAYFULLY) Hmm?
What?
Shower sex.
-Good?
-Mmm. Great.
We should do that more often.
CAIN: Mm.
How about every morning
till death do us part?
(BOTH CHUCKLE)
-CAIN: I should write that down.
-LINA: Hm.
You gonna put that in your vows?
CAIN: I'm thinking about it.
You started working
on yours yet?
Alright, give us a preview.
Let a man know what
he's up against.
OK.
(CLEARS THROAT)
Cain, I remember
how we first met.
It was in that pub on King
Street with 10-buck jugs.
Axel introduced us.
He said, "This is Cain."
"He's gonna be the best
man at our wedding."
And you said
"Not if I marry her first."
(LINA CHUCKLES)
(LAUGHS)
(WHISPERS) Hey.
Listen.
Cain
-I need to
-(PHONE BUZZES)
CAIN: Oh!
Oh, it's Dan.
What?
What does he want?
Oh. Uh, the mould is
worse than he thought.
Wants me to come
take a look at it.
Well, I mean, you don't have to
go, like, all the way out there.
Just get him to
send you a photo.
Oh, he probably
just needs a hand.
Hey, hey, don't stress.
We're not gonna take down any
walls - not without your say-so.
(CAIN CHUCKLES)
(CAIN TUTS)
(FLAPS LIPS)
DAN: I reckon this is
your main problem here.
CAIN: Oh, is it bad?
DAN: Well, we'll have to
find where it's coming from,
but I reckon it's salvageable.
CAIN: Oh, hey, check this out.
Hey, can you just
grab this for a sec?
DAN: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Want me to move it?
-CAIN: Yep, yep, yep.
-Come towards me.
CAIN: Yep.
-DAN: Right.
-(CAIN GRUNTS)
(BOTH CHUCKLE)
Pa have any secrets
we should know about?
I'm starting to think so.
Argh! Shit.
-Oh!
-(DAN CHUCKLES)
Whoa! (GRUNTS)
Oh, man, it smells like
something died in here.
DAN: Yeah, it's probably
where Pa hid the bodies.
(CAIN CHUCKLES)
-(CAIN CHUCKLES)
-Look at all this junk.
Hey, check this out.
Oh, it must've been Pa's.
When did he die?
10 months ago.
We tried to rush the wedding
so he could be around for it.
But, uh, yeah,
afterwards, Lina put
the brakes on things.
Oh, that's understandable.
Hm. Feels like we're
back on track, though.
(TRAFFIC HUBBUB)
CLARE: Meanwhile, I'm an
hour into a live stream
and he barges in looking
like an absolute caveman.
Well, you've gotta give
the people what they want.
Uh, the members want a
tailored, high-end experience.
-Right? (LAUGHS)
-Well, agree to disagree.
Hey! I'm so sorry we're late.
-I'm so sorry.
-OTHERS: Hey.
-(MUSIC THUDS SOFTLY)
-DAN: Hi.
AXEL: Hi.
Oh! You brought a plus one.
CAIN: Yeah, we've been
working at Pa's all day.
I hope that's OK.
CLARE: Yes, of course!
I love this. Come sit with me.
-Grab a chair.
-Thank you.
I was just packing up
the apartment anyway
now that I'm
staying at the cabin
and it's impossible
to say no to this guy.
(LINA CHUCKLES AWKWARDLY)
Hey! I'm Dan.
Tess.
Dan's been doing our renos.
Oh! So I heard.
Nice to meet you, Tess.
CAIN: So what are
we talking about?
-Just ordering mains.
-Oh, right. Yes.
-Yes, what are we thinking?
-TESS: Just here.
CAIN: Sorry, sorry, sorry.
AXEL: Anyway, the
reason we're all here,
happy anniversary, my love.
The best three years of my life.
CAIN: Aw!
-Love you.
-Hmm. I love you.
-(CLARE GIGGLES)
-DAN: That's so sweet.
How did you two meet?
CLARE: On an island.
-Tinder Island.
-Stop it!
And what about the rest of you?
Axe and me, we were TAFE boys
pretending to be uni students.
-(AXEL CHUCKLES)
-And we crashed their O week.
And the rest is history.
(AXEL CHUCKLES)
CLARE: You skipped
over the best bit.
Actually, it's kinda scandalous.
Axe and Lina were
quite the couple.
(CHUCKLES)
I mean, we weren't
a 'couple' couple.
We just went and
saw a few movies
and then I went overseas
and then, uh, big boy
swooped in, didn't ya?
CAIN: All's fair in
love and war, mate.
But it worked out for the best.
Yeah
Yeah.
Speaking of broken hearts,
Barb, the neighbour
at our NestShare,
she says you've
been two-timing her.
With a real stunner,
by the sounds of it.
She saw her sneaking out
at the crack of dawn.
CAIN: Oh, I thought you
said you were single.
-(UNEASY MUSIC)
-Who's the girl?
CAIN: Come on, fess up.
I don't kiss and tell, mate.
(CLARE LAUGHS) So mysterious!
(LAUGHS)
WAITRESS: Hey, are you
guys ready to order?
CAIN: Uh, could you
give us two minutes?
-WAITRESS: Sure thing.
-CAIN AND TESS: Thank you.
CAIN: Uh
(AXEL AND CLARE CHATTER QUIETLY)
(UNEASY MUSIC)
(PHONE BUZZES)
(UNEASY MUSIC INTENSIFIES)
(WHISPERS)
(UNEASY MUSIC CONTINUES)
TESS: You have to tell Cain.
Like, now.
You said to save
him the heartbreak.
-Your actual words.
-Yeah, that was before.
Look, if you come clean,
he might forgive you.
But if he finds out himself, I
guarantee you, babe, it's over.
I I don't wanna hurt him.
Harden the fuck up, sister.
That ship has sailed.
OK, fuck. I mean, I
I slept with someone.
People cheat all the time.
Who would give such a shit?
Axe, for one!
You know he's
never got over you.
(CLEARS THROAT)
Oh!
(EXHALES)
-(DANCE MUSIC THUDS)
-(LIVELY CHATTER)
LINA: Um, I'll meet
you at the table.
TESS: OK.
(CLEARS THROAT)
Why did you come tonight?
Well, I was worried about you.
And I wanted to see you again.
Has someone been texting you?
Texting me? No.
Alright, I've been
getting these messages
Someone has the video.
(DAN WHISPERS) Jesus.
-Show me.
-LINA: Not here.
-DAN: Where?
-AXEL: Oi! There you are.
-Hey.
-Food's up.
-DAN: Oh.
-LINA: Oh. Finally.
Uh, should we get these
drinks on the table?
Yeah. Excuse me.
-AXEL: Hey, hold on a second.
-LINA: Hm?
AXEL: Sorry if that was weird.
Our little trip
down memory lane?
No, why would it be weird?
Yeah. Exactly.
Yeah, no. It's just we
were kids, weren't we?
Now you're with Cain
and now I'm with Clare
and I'm I'm so
happy for you guys.
-Don't worry about it.
-Hm.
-Come on.
-Cool.
(UNEASY MUSIC)
AXEL: Come on, keep up, loser!
Get off!
This way.
Come on, catch up.
Don't fall!
(CACKLES)
Whoo!
(CAIN PANTS)
AXEL: This this
is my favourite place
in the entire world.
CAIN: No shit.
It's all over your Insta.
AXEL: Here, take a pic.
(SIGHS)
Turn sideways.
There you go.
Nah, one more.
So what happened?
You had a big one?
Yeah, up pretty late last night.
Dan just kept buying us rounds.
Yeah, I could tell.
He's not a bad guy. I like him.
Bit weird to bring him, though.
What's the matter,
big dog? You jealous?
Long as you had fun.
I guess so.
What?
I don't know, Lina - she
seem distracted to you?
-I don't think so.
-She didn't say anything?
Hardly talked to her, now
that I think about it.
Any good ones?
(CONCERNING MUSIC)
-CAIN: What the hell's this?
-AXEL: Huh?
Oh! Must
Must've been on burst mode.
Look at that.
One for the wedding
slides how, eh?
Alright!
Loser buys brekkie.
Whoo!
(CONCERNING MUSIC CONTINUES)
Hey, Scotty. Can I talk
to you for a second?
SCOTTY: Uh-oh. What have I done?
(CHUCKLES) Relax.
I just need some tech support.
You're kind of a nerd, right?
What gave it away?
You solder circuits for fun.
(BOTH CHUCKLE)
Um
This is gonna sound like a
really weird question, but
let's say, like,
somebody's texting you, right?
Is there a way to
find out who it is?
Like, a private number?
No, just, like,
a regular number.
Oh, are you getting spammed?
It's for a friend.
Well, uh, if it was my friend,
I'd say start with the basics.
You know, search through
emails. Group chats are good.
You could try reverse
searching through PaylD,
see if it's connected
to a bank account.
Right, and what if she's
done all of that already?
Then things start to
get a little sketchy.
That's when you need to find
someone who's willing
to break a law or two.
Someone like you.
Ooh, no. (LAUGHS)
Uh, I'm not a hacker.
I just really like video games.
So do you know someone?
Uh, maybe.
Are you OK?
You don't seem it.
Uh, no, Scotty. I'm
very much not OK.
(TROUBLING MUSIC)
(TROUBLING MUSIC CONTINUES)
(SANDER WHIRRS)
(SANDER POWERS DOWN)
(BOTH PANT ON VIDEO)
DAN: OK, I've seen enough.
You should delete that.
LINA: Tess says it's evidence.
Are you OK?
I got stalked once.
A couple of years ago.
She thought I looked like
someone she knew, apparently.
It was not good.
I kinda went off
grid for a while.
So, yeah, I think I'm
a little triggered.
I tried to look
you up, you know.
You don't have Insta, Facebook.
Well, now you know why.
I know what I'm
supposed to feel.
I'm supposed to feel shame.
I'm supposed to feel guilt
like I wished that none
of this had ever happened.
But?
I don't regret a fuckin' thing.
(SOLEMN MUSIC)
(LINA MOANS)
I love how quiet it is.
(DISTANT BIRDSONG)
Sometimes too quiet.
Did you grow up here?
I, uh
(CLEARS THROAT)
I moved in when I was about 12.
Hmm.
Before that, I was with Mum.
When I first moved in
here, I actually hated it.
Hated the way it smelled.
Nan's oats and
Pa's fishing gear.
And now you miss it?
Yeah.
Yeah, everything
here is a memory.
It's like
Being back just reminds
me of how much I've lost.
(POIGNANT MUSIC)
We can't do this again.
(LINE RINGS)
RECORDING: Yo, yo. It's Cain.
I'll call you back when I can.
(BEEP!)
(INSERTS KEY) Hey,
baby. I'm so sorry.
Tess is having boy problems.
Apparently, Nick's back
on the scene, so
You can go ahead
and order take-out.
I'll be home in about an hour.
Love you.
(DARK MUSIC)
-Don't forget. Five o'clock.
-What?
The Bamford function room.
I've been repeating
myself all morning.
-Are you OK?
-Yeah, sorry.
We can't reschedule, can we?
Hey, Mum called in a favour.
It'd mean a lot to her.
And me.
OK.
OK, yes. Uh, five o'clock,
function room. Got it.
CAIN: Oi!
Forgetting something?
OK.
(DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES)
(METALLIC CLINKING)
GLENN: It's through here, yeah?
(GRUNTS SOFTLY)
(CLEARS THROAT) So how do
you two know each other?
Uh, altar boys.
We used to sing in the
choir and everything.
You still with,
uh, whatshisname?
You know his name.
(SCOFFS)
So are you showing
me this message?
Don't you just need the number?
GLENN: I need the full XML file
to narrow down the network.
Once I gain access to
the database, it's easy.
(GLENN PUTS PHONE DOWN)
No promises, obviously.
It might be a day or so.
Mm-mm. I'll take my chances.
GLENN: Let's talk payment.
Then I'll get to work.
I don't have a lot of cash.
I don't need money.
LINA: What, then?
You're an ambo.
Scotty tells me
you're fully stocked.
SCOTTY: She's not giving
you fentanyl, dude.
Right?
Hey. He's not asking
for that much.
More than enough
to hurt himself.
I don't really have
a choice, Scotty.
Of course you do.
(AMBOS LAUGH)
(AMBOS CHATTER INDISTINCTLY)
AMBO: Yeah, ended up
being a chicken bone.
-AMBO 2: Was that it?
-(AMBO LAUGHS) Yeah, that's all.
-MAN: Yeah, no.
-(PHONE RINGS NEARBY)
Yeah, I'm looking at the form
right now, but I don't see it.
(MAN CONTINUES INDISTINCTLY)
Ah, yeah, OK.
(KEY RING CLINKS)
8650-4329.
Yeah, righto.
(FIRE TRUCK HORN HONKS)
-(ENGINE REVS)
-(REVERSING SIGNAL BEEPS)
-(ENGINE STOPS)
-NATE: Whoo!
CAIN: All you boys in one piece?
NATE: Plastics factory.
Six crews just to
put a lid on it.
What about you and your
dodgy wrist? Saving lives?
One maintenance order at a time.
(NATE CHUCKLES) Hey.
You wanna grab some
drinks tonight?
Uh, no, wedding stuff.
Oh, come on. Is that
still happening?
Just kidding. Lina's
lucky to have you.
You're great for her.
Hey, text you
later for kick-ons.
Huh? And bring Axe.
If he doesn't think
he's too good for us.
(DOOR CLOSES)
(TENSE MUSIC)
-(THUDDING)
-(DISTANT VOICES)
AMBO: Oi, come on!
-AMBO 2: I'll catch up to you.
-AMBO: Hurry up.
AMBO 2: Yeah, yeah.
(TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES)
(THUDDING)
(GRUNTS AND SIGHS)
(ZIPPER BUZZES)
Oh.
AMBO: Oi! Job's coming in.
So far it sounds like
a fuckin' shitshow.
(AMBO 2 MUTTERS)
-AMBO: Go!
-(AMBULANCE DOOR SLAMS)
(SIREN WAILS IN DISTANCE)
AMBO: Man
(CONVERSATION
CONTINUES INDISTINCTLY)
CAIN: She'll be
here any minute now.
Well, I'll have it all figured
out before she gets in here.
Go easy, Mum, OK?
And what about you, young lady?
When's that man of yours
gonna pop the question?
Oh, yeah, Lina told
me about last night.
Is Nick back on the
guest list, then?
What?
LINA: Hi! I'm so sorry.
-Traffic. Hi, sweetheart.
-TESS AND CAIN: Hey.
LINA: Hi. Mwah!
Hi, Rose.
Right, let's get this over with.
(LINA CLEARS THROAT)
ROSE: Bridal party
backing onto the windows.
The rest of the
tables in eights.
Dance floor in the middle.
Band in the corner.
Well? Isn't it perfect?
-It's big.
-ROSE: It needs to be.
Yeah.
-And it's available.
There is a 60th on stand-by,
so we can't drag our feet.
So, what do we think?
Can we look around first?
(QUIETLY) I mean, it's nice.
(QUIETLY) It's beautiful.
-Plus, it's mates rates.
-Uh, OK.
Look, as much as I appreciate
Rose calling in a
favour and everything,
I just
I don't know, it
doesn't feel like us.
Well, what does, then?
It's too fancy, too beachy, too
garden-y, not garden-y enough.
I just I just
wanna marry you, Lina.
I don't care where it is.
OK. Why are you in such
a rush all of a sudden?
Because we've done this before.
Between the caterers, the
venues, the bloody cakes
We've been planning this
wedding for more than two years.
That's not my fault.
No, I
I know. I'm not
blaming you, obviously.
I just wanna lock things
in so we can just move on.
Well, not everything is
about your plan, Cain.
You wanna take
over, be my guest.
Because I'm tired
of forcing you.
It doesn't feel any good
and it's actually supposed to.
What are you talking about?
Every decision that
we've ever made,
it's been me making
the decision.
If it wasn't for me,
we wouldn't be here.
That should tell you something.
Oh, please, are
you Seriously?
Yeah, Cain. Because you know
what? You're absolutely right.
The date, the venue, the guest
list, the wedding party
I mean, you went ahead
and booked the honeymoon,
for Chrissakes.
You are twisting
everything around.
You know what, I can't
even tell right now -
is it the venue that's the
problem or the idea in general?
Because I'm really
starting to wonder.
Wonder what?
(SCOFFS) If you even want this.
Actually can't believe
you would ask me that.
Well?
Uh
(WHISPERS) Uh, Cain, I'm sorry.
Hey. I'm sorry.
CAIN: Yeah, me too.
I'm going out.
I'm catching up with the boys.
(SEATBELT UNBUCKLES)
Thanks for the lift.
-(DOOR OPENS)
-Hey, hey. Hey.
(DOOR SLAMS)
Come on, you've barely
looked at me since we left.
Why does Cain think we
hung out last night?
Well, I told you,
I had to see Dan.
Right.
To show him the video.
Are you still sleeping with him?
-(TESS SCOFFS)
-Uh
You know, for the record,
Cain did nothing
wrong back there.
You're picking fights
just to punish yourself.
(DOOR OPENS)
(DOOR SLAMS)
MAN: Scull, scull, scull,
scull, scull, scull, scull!
-Yeah, boy!
-Still undefeated!
-MAN: Beautiful!
-Curly, you're up.
-I can't.
-Someone's up for a big one.
(NATE AND CURLY LAUGH)
Oh, hoy! If it isn't
Mr Shark Tank himself!
-AXEL: Hey, losers!
-(CURLY LAUGHS)
-(CAIN GROWLS PLAYFULLY)
-NATE: What's up, Axe?
CAIN: There he is!
-Whoo!
-Man, what the shit is this?
-You got the jacket.
-AXEL: Yeah.
NATE: And the shirt and the lid!
I asked you to bring some
gear. That's not what I meant!
AXEL: You just added some IQ.
-NATE: Oh, fuck you, bro.
-(CAIN AND CURLY LAUGH)
You want a beer?
Yeah, my shout, eh?
We can afford our
own drinks, mate.
(ROCK MUSIC PLAYS FAINTLY)
AXEL: You right?
Yeah. Yeah, you know, I
was I was keeping my pace.
Setting the pace.
Have you eaten?
-I'll get you a burger.
-No, no, no.
-You want a burger?
-No, no, no.
Eating's cheating. Thanks.
I gotta piss.
(GLASSES CLINK)
(SNIFFS)
Guess you're flying solo.
Just, uh, losing
friends left and right.
Thank you.
Don't worry about Scotty.
He can't hold a grudge.
Anyway, I think I've
figured out your problem.
Did you get what I asked for?
(GLASS THUDS)
I'm not giving you
fentanyl, Glenn.
Then what are we doing here?
Glenn McLean. Born
December 5th, 2001.
You got brought in two years
ago with a triple fracture.
I looked up your intake form.
You got T-boned in
an intersection.
You're on the wait list
to replace your knees.
I bet you're not
sleeping, right?
So?
So I know a good surgeon
who can move you up the list.
You'd do that?
(SIGHS) OK.
So, by law, in
Australia (GRUNTS)
every activated SIM
undergoes an ID check.
-(GLENN HITS KEYBOARD KEYS)
-OK.
Nanny state bullshit
in my opinion,
but in your case,
it's pretty helpful.
(HITS KEY)
LINA: Uh, what am I looking at?
GLENN: It's name, date of
birth, registered address.
You recognise any of these?
(GRIM MUSIC)
(POUNDS HEAVILY)
(BREATHES DEEPLY)
-Lina! Hey.
-Hey.
-What are you doing here?
-Um
(CLEARS THROAT) Is Axel around?
Out with Cain and the boys.
Zara and I are watching
'The Blind Side'.
ZARA: Mum, you're
missing the best bit.
-CLARE: Coming, honey.
-Hi, Lina!
CLARE: Wanna come in? G&T? Wine?
Uh, maybe next time.
-OK.
-OK.
-(ROCK MUSIC PLAYS FAINTLY)
-(POOL BALLS CLACK)
Enough with the moping.
Just tell me what happened.
Actually, I just
wanna get wasted.
Mission accomplished.
So what's the matter? You
in the doghouse again?
We got in a massive fight.
I think she's
seeing someone else.
Every time she gets a message,
she gets this look on her face.
She changed her password,
turned off her Find My.
It's like she can't
even look at me.
She's distant.
You think she'd do that?
She cheated on you
with me, didn't she?
Hey.
Home's stressful. (MOVES GLASS)
But that happens.
Go home and ask her
what's really going on.
(CAIN SCOFFS)
What do you care?
What do I care?
You're my brother.
Come on. (PATS BACK)
Let's get you home.
-Think I'm still good to drive.
-(PHONE BUZZES)
AXEL: Ah.
Ah, it's Clare.
She, um, needs me
to grab something.
(PHONE BUZZES)
Um
-Be right back.
-(KEY RING CLINKS)
OK?
(DARK MUSIC)
(TENSE MUSIC)
(SUV ENGINE STOPS)
(SUV DOOR OPENS)
Everything OK?
(LOCK TURNS)
(TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES)
(DOOR SLAMS)
Tell me what's going on.
You know, the other night,
you asked me if things
were weird between us.
And I actually
realised something.
Like, things have been weird.
For ages.
I don't know what
you're talking about.
I thought that
maybe it would stop
once you married Clare,
this thing that
you have with me,
this obsession.
-Lina
-Well, I'm not here for excuses.
I just want it to stop.
So here's what's gonna happen.
I am gonna come clean with Cain.
You are gonna come
clean with Clare.
Come clean about what?
What are you talking about?
Don't play dumb. Um
(TAPS PHONE)
Number's registered to you, Axe.
You filmed me and Dan in
this fucking apartment.
Was was it just me?
Were there other women?
-Are you filming children?
-Wait. Hold on.
Hold on a second.
Give me the fucking phone.
I'm not stupid.
I've got screenshots
of fucking everything.
Let's just talk about this.
-Let's talk about
-Don't!
Don't fucking touch me!
You're fucking disgusting.
OK, Lina, I know
you're upset, but
You're gonna do the right thing.
Tell Clare or the cops will.

This guy kept spamming his ex.
As soon as she blocked him,
he put her nudes

OK.
(CLEARS THROAT)
Cain, I remember
how we first met.
It was in that pub on King

Axel introduced us.
He said, "This is Cain."
"He's gonna be the best
man at our wedding."
And you said
"Not if I marry her first."

Cain
-I need to
-(PHONE BUZZES)

Oh, it's Dan.
What?
What does he want?
Oh. Uh, the mould is
worse than he thought.
Wants me to come
take a look at it.
Well, I mean, you don't have to
go, like, all the way out there.
Just get him to
send you a photo.
Oh, he probably
just needs a hand.

We're not gonna take down any

Hey, check this out.
Oh, it must've been Pa's.
When did he die?
10 months ago.
We tried to rush the wedding
so he could be around for it.
But, uh, yeah,
afterwards, Lina put
the brakes on things.
Oh, that's understandable.
Hm. Feels like we're
back on track, though.
(TRAFFIC HUBBUB)
CLARE: Meanwhile, I'm an

And what about the rest of you?
Axe and me, we were TAFE boys
pretending to be uni students.
-(AXEL CHUCKLES)
-And we crashed their O week.
And the rest is history.
(AXEL CHUCKLES)
CLARE: You skipped
over the best bit.
Actually, it's kinda scandalous.
Axe and Lina were
quite the couple.
(CHUCKLES)
I mean, we weren't
a 'couple' couple.
We just went and
saw a few movies
and then I went overseas
and then, uh, big boy
swooped in, didn't ya?
CAIN: All's fair in
love and war, mate.
But it worked out for the best.
Yeah
Yeah.
Speaking of broken hearts,
Barb, the neighbour
at our NestShare,
she says you've
been two-timing her.
With a real stunner,
by the sounds of it.
She saw her sneaking out
at the crack of dawn.

said you were single.

guarantee you, babe, it's over.
I I don't wanna hurt him.

I slept with someone.

were kids, weren't we?

and now I'm with Clare

So what happened?
You had a big one?
Yeah, up pretty late last night.
Dan just kept buying us rounds.
Yeah, I could tell.
He's not a bad guy. I like him.
Bit weird to bring him, though.
What's the matter,
big dog? You jealous?
Long as you had fun.
I guess so.
What?
I don't know, Lina - she
seem distracted to you?
-I don't think so.

I just need some tech support.
You're kind of a nerd, right?
What gave it away?
You solder circuits for fun.
(BOTH CHUCKLE)
Um
This is gonna sound like a
really weird question, but
let's say, like,
somebody's texting you, right?
Is there a way to
find out who it is?
Like, a private number?
No, just, like,
a regular number.
Oh, are you getting spammed?
It's for a friend.
Well, uh, if it was my friend,
I'd say start with the basics.
You know, search through
emails. Group chats are good.
You could try reverse
searching through PaylD,
see if it's connected
to a bank account.
Right, and what if she's
done all of that already?
Then things start to
get a little sketchy.
That's when you need to find
someone who's willing
to break a law or two.
Someone like you.
Ooh, no. (LAUGHS)
Uh, I'm not a hacker.
I just really like video games.
So do you know someone?
Uh, maybe.

someone she knew, apparently.
It was not good.
I kinda went off
grid for a while.
So, yeah, I think I'm
a little triggered.
I tried to look
you up, you know.
You don't have Insta, Facebook.
Well, now you know why.
I know what I'm
supposed to feel.
I'm supposed to feel shame.
I'm supposed to feel guilt
like I wished that none
of this had ever happened.

Can we look around first?

I just
I don't know, it
doesn't feel like us.
Well, what does, then?
It's too fancy, too beachy, too
garden-y, not garden-y enough.
I just I just
wanna marry you, Lina.
I don't care where it is.
OK. Why are you in such
a rush all of a sudden?
Because we've done this before.
Between the caterers, the
venues, the bloody cakes
We've been planning this
wedding for more than two years.
That's not my fault.
No, I
I know. I'm not
blaming you, obviously.
I just wanna lock things
in so we can just move on.
Well, not everything is
about your plan, Cain.
You wanna take
over, be my guest.
Because I'm tired
of forcing you.
It doesn't feel any good
and it's actually supposed to.
What are you talking about?
Every decision that
we've ever made,
it's been me making
the decision.
If it wasn't for me,
we wouldn't be here.
That should tell you something.
Oh, please, are
you Seriously?
Yeah, Cain. Because you know
what? You're absolutely right.
The date, the venue, the guest
list, the wedding party
I mean, you went ahead
and booked the honeymoon,
for Chrissakes.
You are twisting
everything around.
You know what, I can't
even tell right now -
is it the venue that's the
problem or the idea in general?
Because I'm really
starting to wonder.
Wonder what?
(SCOFFS) If you even want this.
Actually can't believe
you would ask me that.
Well?
Uh
(WHISPERS) Uh, Cain, I'm sorry.
Hey. I'm sorry.

-I'll get you a burger.
-No, no, no.
-You want a burger?
-No, no, no.
Eating's cheating. Thanks.
I gotta piss.
(GLASSES CLINK)
(SNIFFS)
Guess you're flying solo.
Just, uh, losing
friends left and right.
Thank you.
Don't worry about Scotty.
He can't hold a grudge.
Anyway, I think I've
figured out your problem.
Did you get what I asked for?
(GLASS THUDS)
I'm not giving you
fentanyl, Glenn.
Then what are we doing here?
Glenn McLean. Born
December 5th, 2001.
You got brought in two years
ago with a triple fracture.
I looked up your intake form.
You got T-boned in
an intersection.
You're on the wait list
to replace your knees.
I bet you're not
sleeping, right?
So?
So I know a good surgeon
who can move you up the list.
You'd do that?
(SIGHS) OK.
So, by law, in
Australia (GRUNTS)
every activated SIM
undergoes an ID check.
-(GLENN HITS KEYBOARD KEYS)
-OK.
Nanny state bullshit
in my opinion,
but in your case,
it's pretty helpful.
(HITS KEY)
LINA: Uh, what am I looking at?
GLENN: It's name, date of
birth, registered address.
You recognise any of these?

-Hey.
-What are you doing here?
-Um
(CLEARS THROAT) Is Axel around?
Out with Cain and the boys.
Zara and I are watching
'The Blind Side'.
ZARA: Mum, you're
missing the best bit.
-CLARE: Coming, honey.
-Hi, Lina!
CLARE: Wanna come in? G&T? Wine?
Uh, maybe next time.
-OK.
-OK.
-(ROCK MUSIC PLAYS FAINTLY)
-(POOL BALLS CLACK)
Enough with the moping.
Just tell me what happened.
Actually, I just
wanna get wasted.
Mission accomplished.
So what's the matter? You
in the doghouse again?
We got in a massive fight.
I think she's
seeing someone else.
Every time she gets a message,
she gets this look on her face.
She changed her password,
turned off her Find My.
It's like she can't
even look at me.
She's distant.
You think she'd do that?
She cheated on you
with me, didn't she?
Hey.
Home's stressful. (MOVES GLASS)
But that happens.
Go home and ask her
what's really going on.
(CAIN SCOFFS)
What do you care?
What do I care?
You're my brother.
Come on. (PATS BACK)
Let's get you home.
-Think I'm still good to drive.

AXEL: Ah.
Ah, it's Clare.
She, um, needs me
to grab something.

Tell me what's going on.
You know, the other night,
you asked me if things
were weird between us.
And I actually
realised something.
Like, things have been weird.
For ages.
I don't know what
you're talking about.
I thought that
maybe it would stop
once you married Clare,
this thing that
you have with me,
this obsession.
-Lina
-Well, I'm not here for excuses.
I just want it to stop.
So here's what's gonna happen.
I am gonna come clean with Cain.
You are gonna come
clean with Clare.
Come clean about what?
What are you talking about?
Don't play dumb. Um
(TAPS PHONE)
Number's registered to you, Axe.
You filmed me and Dan in
this fucking apartment.
Was was it just me?
Were there other women?
-Are you filming children?
-Wait. Hold on.
Hold on a second.
Give me the fucking phone.
I'm not stupid.
I've got screenshots
of fucking everything.
Let's just talk about this.
-Let's talk about
-Don't!
Don't fucking touch me!
You're fucking disgusting.
OK, Lina, I know
you're upset, but
You're gonna do the right thing.
Tell Clare or the cops will.

Hey, Cain.
I slept with someone.
(LINA INHALES)
And I won't lie and

And I don't want to stand here
and just make excuses
for myself, but
I just really need you
to know that I love you.
And that I'm really
sorry. (SOBS)
