TANYA: Ophelia! See ya.
ALLY: 'Bye, guys.
See ya.
NAT: Yeah, of course it is.
(PHONE RINGS) Oh, God, I'm sorry.
So is that really bad manners in your little book, answering a call? Well, I've turned mine off.
Really? Of course.
I don't believe you.
You 're looking at the king of seance.
Just make some room.
Oh, wait, who's got a phone with a camera? Oh, me.
GIGl: What's that for? JOE: This is so we can see the orbs.
A girl in my German class told me that that means a spirit's trying to have sex with you.
(LAUGHS) ROMEO: Have you got a boyfriend? Get lost.
I'm trying to watch Nat.
Mmm, that's what I thought.
Gigi's got a secret, Gigi's got a secret.
What's going on with Joe? Nothing.
That's bullshit.
What are you talking about? What if I stayed with you instead? (LAUGHS) Why is that funny? It's not funny.
Then why are you laughing? Um, it's just me, I'm It's something I've I've wanted for a long time.
I've been offered a job in Singapore.
Is that a joke? Nope.

Tangle (AU) S02E06 - Lost and Found Ah! Nat? Ahhh.
Good morning.
Hi.
Ohhhh.
(LAUGHS) Are you cold? A little bit.
Yeah? Yeah.
Do you want me to warm you up? Ohhh.
Wow! You actually do have some serious body heat.
Hey, do you ever get scared that you 'll just spontaneously combust? (LAUGHS) No.
That happened to a friend of mine.
She spontaneously combusted? Well, no, not her, but she was in this club in Spain, and this girl was dancing beside her and then she just suddenly caught fire.
Oh, yeah? Yeah.
It happens a lot.
A lot more than people think.
Yeah.
Have you ever had to look after someone who spontaneously combusted? Well, wouldn't they just be a pile of ash? I mean, you know, someone who hadn't completely burned up.
OK, look, this is ridiculous.
Can we stop talking about spontaneous combustion? I thought you might be interested in the science of it.
Well, there is no science in it.
Alright? It doesn't happen.
You 're entitled to your opinion.
No, it's not opinion.
It's a fact! You say tomah-to, I say tomay-to.
It's a completely different thing.
There is no such thing as spontaneous combustion.
Alright? It doesn't happen.
It never has happened.
It never will happen.
Let's not make a big deal of this.
Well, it is a big deal.
You know what? I think respect is pretty much the corner piece of any relationship.
(SIGHS) Cornerstone.
Are you breaking up with me? Because you don't believe in spontaneous combustion? My heart just isn't in it.
Yeah, well, your dick seems to be! (INDISTINCT P.
A.
ANNOUNCEMENT) I got you this.
Oh, thanks, mate.
I wish I was going with you.
Well, there'll be school holidays.
Looking forward to it.
I don't want to be here.
You 'll be fine.
Um, if you need to get hold of me, there's the mobile or you can always try the hotel, but there are numbers by the phone.
Thanks.
So I'll go through.
Yeah, yeah, OK.
I'll miss you, mate.
Look after Christine for me.
'Bye.
Hello.
There's a sum of money that's transferred from my husband's account into your account every month.
I'd like to know what it's for.
It's for my daughter.
Why? Ally, I think you know why.
Why does my husband give you money for your daughter? Vince is Ophelia's father.
So you had an affair with my husband? Yes.
For how long? For about two years.
And you decided to have a baby together? We didn't decide.
I fell pregnant by accident.
That's bullshit.
I'll answer any of your questions because I think you have a right to know.
But don't be rude to me.
Why did you break up? You got pregnant with your daughter.
And Vince decided he couldn't be with me anymore.
How often did you see him? Every Tuesday and Friday afternoon.
Was he at your daughter's birth? Yes.
It's too much.
(PHONE BEEPS) (PHONE RINGS AT OTHER END) (PHONE RINGS) CHRISTINE: Hi.
Vince has another child.
A girl called Ophelia.
How did you find out? He left some money for her in his will.
I know you must be feeling terrible about Tim and this is the last thing you need right now No, no, I'll be there in 15.
OK.
It's, uh, probably better that you don't say anything to Romeo about, um, about what you just heard.
Sorry you have to be part of it.
Max, Max.
We have to talk about what you saw.
Do you want to taste? Uh-uh.
That's fine, thank you.
You 're thinking I'm pretentious, aren't you? I like it when you take control.
(LAUGHS) I don't believe that for a second.
Why not? Because I don't think you 've ever let anybody take control in your life.
Maybe it's time I did.
(CAMERA CLICKS TWICE) (CAMERA CLICKS) How did he know we were here? What? You 're ashamed to be seen with me? Let's go.
What? Does it really matter? Yes, it does.
I like this restaurant, but now that someone's told the photographer, I won't be coming back.
Let's not overreact.
Sorry.
Can I use your phone? Mine's dead.
Sure.
(PHONE RINGS AT OTHER END) WOMAN: Melbourne Confidential, how can I help you? I'm trying to raise my profile.
Was that bullshit about your son? No! Let's not make this a big deal.
It's one photo.
Uh I won't do it again, OK? Where do you want me to drop you? I can get home.
Good.
(SIGHS) Hey.
Hey.
I'm not gonna ask you how you 're feeling because I hate it when people do that to me.
But, you know, if you want to talk Or, you know, I can talk about silly, stupid stuff, if you want.
You know, I'm quite good at that.
Yeah, I, uh I know.
Should I be offended? No, but you should tell me stupid, silly stuff.
ALLY: Found out a few days ago and I thought Well, I was hoping I could pretend she didn't exist.
You can if you want.
She's been in the house.
Ophelia.
What? Because of Romeo.
She goes to the same school as Gigi.
What kind of a person would do that? Was she hoping Vince would get caught? What? I don't understand.
Do they know about her? Is she the same age as? She's six months older than Gigi.
Oh, God.
Why couldn't I just have a normal family? A normal husband.
One that didn't have secrets.
One that didn't die.
Why am I left with all this mess? Oh, I'm really sorry, Ally.
I don't know how you ever got over what Tim did to you.
How have you managed all these years knowing? I never did get over it.
Oh, Christine.
Uh, look, I think that you should probably tell the kids.
ALLY: What kind of a person sends their daughter to the same school? What's wrong with her? I'm gonna be in the paper tomorrow.
Um, 'Herald Sun', Melbourne Confidential.
How come? Um, well, me and this guy I was on a date with had our photo taken by the paparazzi.
Was that the guy that was at Ally's house? Is he like a boyfriend? Oh he's a bit annoyed with me, actually.
Why? Well, the paparazzi didn't exactly arrive by accident.
You called them?! No, that's that's not cool.
That's what everyone does, Max.
Well, it makes you look like a try-hard.
Well, let's do something fun.
Like what? Can you drink yet? Oh, well, let's get an ice-cream.
An ice-cream.
(DOOR CLOSES) What do you think would happen if Christine went off with someone else? Oh, is she going to? No.
I I It was just You know, stupid, silly stuff.
Mm-hm.
Like, if they broke up.
Well, they're living in different countries, Max.
But I don't think they're gonna break up.
She'll still be your parent.
When can I come and live with you? Whenever you like.
I might be able to get some money off Dad.
No, no, no.
I love you.
We'll be fine.
Hi.
Hi.
Hello, Christine.
Where have you been? MAX: Just went for a walk.
And so Tim get off OK? Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, all fine.
Max and I have been, um talking about finding a place together.
Do you want to wait upstairs? No.
I thought with Tim away, it might suit you to have some time to yourself.
Oh, Nat, nothing you 've ever done has suited me.
Max, what's going on? You had Max for 15 years, Christine.
Oh, look, is this a joke?! Fuck off.
You shouldn't be so mean to her.
(LAUGHS) Oh.
Oh, thanks, Max.
Do you want to go upstairs? She is my mother.
Nothing will change that.
Listen.
You 're about to go into the final year of your school.
Right, when you have finished that, you can live wherever you want to live.
You can't tell me what to do anymore.
Let's not Let's not do this out here, OK? Let's just go upstairs.
Max, just come upstairs.
Just Just, please.
Let's go inside and deal No! Alright, alright.
Just just just say what you want to say.
Just let it out.
You disgust me! Is something wrong? No, it's just weird.
Weird? I can remember when Dad built the shed at the old house.
Right.
ROMEO: Was so good at this shit.
Didn't have to use a kit.
JOE: OK.
OK.
ROMEO: What are you doing? Joe! I don't have to compete with your dad, mate.
I didn't ask you to! I'm glad you have a good memory of him, alright? But I don't need ALLY: Stop it! Don't make him feel bad about Vince.
I'm not making anyone feel anything, Ally.
Take some responsibility.
Don't be such a child.
You can't replace him! Replace Vince? Is that what you think I'm doing here, Ally? The guy's not even here and he's fucking shit up for all of us! When are you gonna stop blaming Vince for the way you are?! Maybe I should ask you the same question, Ally.
I want to have a family dinner tonight.
Just you and me and Gigi.
OK.
(MOBILE BEEPS) (DOOR OPENS) Can I have a ciggie? Mum was pretty angry, hey? Yeah, well, your mum's got a lot of shit going on, mate.
You all do.
You know, this is probably one of the shittiest times you 're ever gonna have in your whole life.
Ah whatever.
You don't need any advice from me, mate.
I think you should finish the shed.
You 're giving me advice?! OK.
But don't do anything to piss me off this time, alright? Gigi! ALLY: Romeo! What? Come and set the table.
And get Gigi.
She can help.
Hey, Ally, she went out.
What? Saw her leave a couple of hours ago.
Two hours ago? Where was she going? Dunno.
Romeo, did she say anything to you? She knows she's not allowed to leave without telling me.
Hi.
Oh, hi.
Ta.
What do we drink to? Politics? Ohh! Oh, God, no.
It brought us together.
That is a spectacular dress.
(LAUGHS) I'm I'm not here to To? To, you know No.
You 'll have to spell it out for me.
I'm not here to have sex with you.
OK.
So why are you here? I've always admired this building and I just wanted to see inside.
OK.
And you thought now would be a good time? Only time I've been invited up.
Fair enough.
Why don't you come check out the view, then? Oh, yes, I'd love to.
Oh, wow.
Oh, this is amazing! I've got to go.
OK.
Thanks for the drink.
(LIFT BUTTON BEEPS) (LIFT BELL DINGS, DOORS OPEN) 'Bye.
'Bye.
(LIFT BELL DINGS) (PANTS) Did you loosen it? ROMEO: Yeah, I have.
I've called everyone I can think of.
I think she has a boyfriend, Mum.
What? She talks to him on the phone.
Why hasn't she told me? JOE: I saw her walk out of the front door.
Maybe she's at that house across the street.
I've seen her go in there a couple of times.
Shit! Hello? Is anyone home?! (KNOCKS ON WINDOW) Is she there? What do you know about this guy? I don't know anything.
Do you know his name? No.
Does he live alone? I don't know, Mum.
Did he seem like a weirdo? Mum, I don't know, OK? I've only see him walk in there, that's all.
Ally, she's 13.
She's probably just gone out for a little while.
(DOORBELL BUZZES) CONRAD: Yeah? Hi.
It's me.
So, are you always this tough on people? I thought I was just being clear.
No.
You were being hypocritical, actually.
People like you really piss me off.
Yeah, big deal I use the media.
You ARE the media.
Your family use people like me all the time.
My son wants to live with me.
Which would have been disastrous for you and me, anyway.
You 're probably right.
Yeah, and it's also made me realise what's important and I certainly don't need shitty, judgmental people like you in my life.
(MOBILE RINGS) (SCOFFS) Hi.
No, I haven't I haven't seen her.
Why why are you so upset? OK, I'll be home straightaway, alright? Oh, and tell your precious father I think you have really bad manners.

GIGl: Do you think we'll know straightaway if it's an orb? I don't think there are any on here.
When did you find out Vince was my dad? I always knew.
Is that one? I don't know.
I've never seen one before.
I think we should get Joe to come and have a look.
Yeah.
Ophelia was meant to be my name.
Did you see him much? Not really.
He took me out to a restaurant for my birthday.
Did he take you to the Flower Drum when you turned 12? Yeah.

No, they haven't seen her.
I can't bear it.
Oh, Ally.
I'm going to lose everyone.

Where were you, Gigi? I went walking.
What? All this time? Why didn't Why didn't you use your phone? Why didn't you call me? What were you doing? Why are all these people here? ALLY: Oh.

I'm so glad that you 're in my kids' lives.
I just have to give you a kiss.

OK.
I'll be home later.
I can ride home.
Oh.

Oh, good.
OK.
Hey.

You hurt your hand.
Hmm.
You 're turning into Dad.
No.
