Top Of The Lake (2013) s01e07 Episode Script

1 - This isn't going to be easy.
- Take your time.
Is it on? Okay.
Best just get on with it then? Right.
Your father's not dead.
No, that's not possible.
I've seen the death certificate and the pathologist's report.
I requested it ten years ago.
Well, I'm here to tell you he's very much alive.
Some old video footage from the early '80s.
Just after your parents arrived, Before you were born.
Recognise anyone? Is that mum? She was a good-looking woman.
Movie star material.
Take your breath away.
It was frustrating for her up here.
Nowhere to strut her stuff, doll up.
The women at Laketop didn't understand her, really.
Some didn't wear bras or shave their legs.
Your mum thought she could teach them something, But they didn't want to learn.
There's your dad.
No, that's not dad.
He was a foot taller than mum.
There was a lot of partying in those days.
The road to town was bad, sometimes impassable.
There was a bit of mucking around.
Whether you like it or not, this is where it all began for you.
With my seed.
It was all secret.
There was a few tears from her, And then, lo and behold, all these years later, here you are.
All grown up.
Kind of puts a different light on things, doesn't it? No, it doesn't.
I loved my father and he drowned.
You're my seed, girl.
My blood.
I knew it.
What the fuck did he say? What happened? You're my brother.
My half-brother.
No, he's lying.
This is one of his fuckin' set-ups.
He showed me video footage of him and my mother.
He said they had an affair.
Hello, brother.
You're freezing.
I'm gonna go get you a towel.
Do you think it's harder than being gay? I'm telling you, he's fuckin' lying.
You don't know what he's like.
He's a pathological fuck.
He's a fuckin' liar.
Just do a DNA test.
Come to bed with me.
I heard you were on the way up.
Come on in.
Officer Pete tell you? Yeah.
Do you want to sit down? Are you okay? How long have you known? Not long.
That was the, that was the purpose of the boat trip.
I wanted you to hear it as soon as possible and it had to be from Matt.
- Have you requested a DNA test? - No.
- Well, I'd definitely check.
- I want to go after him hard.
And it's gotta be soon, Al.
Simone has said she'll testify against him.
I'm guessing that's his drug operation.
She'll bring others.
Narelle, Sara, possibly.
Certainly that has to be enough to get a search warrant for a raid, - But this time - Hang on a second, I'll just get Officer Joy to listen to this.
Why? Well, we're going to have to get somebody to take over the investigation.
Zena, Can you get Officer Joy to come in, please? Thanks.
- Why do you need him? - Well, he's going to help.
How? Robin, you're Matt's daughter.
Your investigation is impeded by the fact that you're related.
I've already had his lawyer on the phone to me.
Joy, come in.
You can take over from Detective Griffin, please? I want to do it, Al.
Al, I'm on holiday tomorrow, sir.
I'm going to Wales.
Ginny's parents have their golden wedding celebration.
Okay, um, well we can get somebody to cover for you.
How long you away for? - Three weeks.
- Pete, Can you come over here, please? You can take over from, um, Joy.
This isn't going to work, Al.
Just give Officer Joy the contact addresses for Simone and her friends, then Pete can follow up.
Al, I've got that Franklin situation.
I'm just working it over right now.
Yeah, well you can do that after Just leave the information on my desk.
I'll get some legwork on it.
- Seriously? - Yeah, well, we can prioritise it.
Or I'll get Elliott to do it or something.
Robin? Hi, how are you? - Hello? - Who is it? Can't see who's in it.
- Bunny? - My God, it's a girl.
Turn the car off.
Okay.

- I'll go get her.
- Get Anne-Marie, darling.
Anne-Marie! - Anne-Marie! - Careful, careful.
We'll get her out.
Not something you'd expect on a Saturday morning.

Fifty bucks a week.
You've gotta work.
No one will pay you for closing your eyes.
GJ, I need to help Tui.
You people all want to help someone.
That one.
That one wants to help Africa.
Help yourself first.
Like the airplane.
Put on your own mask first.
How do I help myself? Why should I tell you when you don't listen? - I'm listening.
- No! All you hear are your own crazy thoughts, Like a river of shit, on and on.
See your thoughts for what they are.
Stop your helping.
Stop your planning.
Give up! There's no way out.
Not for others, not for you.
We are living out here at the end of the road, The end of the earth in a place called Paradise.
How it going? Perfect? No.
You are madder than ever.
You are tired? So lie down right here.
Be like a cat.
Heal yourself.
There is no match for the tremendous intelligence of the body.
Rest.
When is the next flight to Reykjavik? Um, Iceland.
Any route preference or carrier? No.
Just get away from these crazy bitches.
Get fucked! I have a guy here on a bike heading into chinaman.
Don't bother with him.
We're looking for smoke, yeah? Tui is way too clever to show any smoke so don't waste time looking for any.
Just keep an eye on the huts.
If you see her, move on like it's routine.

Kids don't have babies.
They don't have fuckin' babies.
I did not push Simone's boy over that cliff.
I wasn't even there.

Where is she, then? Where's Simone? Fuck knows.
She blames me.
I know she blames me.
And where's Delia? Where's Sara? Where are they? Well, let me tell you this.
If they're not working, and they're not working, Then they pay rent.

Three? Hey, Tui.
- Hi.
- My gosh! So cute! So tiny.
That's yours? Is there, um, somewhere we can talk? Here's Matt.
Don't know what you've got planned for him, but here he is.
How's Tui going? Through the day, you wouldn't know anything was wrong.
But, at night, she She has terrible nightmares.
We, crosschecked the results with two labs because Quite frankly, I'm surprised and I'm sickened.
Here we are.
I'm still shaking my head because I can't really believe it.
Matt's the father of Tui's baby.
For all his faults, I thought he had more decency.
Shut up.
What about the baby? Is the baby okay? As far as I can see, yeah.
Chromosomes are all normal.
Al, how are we going to put her in court? She so confused.
She doesn't even seem to know she shot Matt.
She talks as if he's still alive.
She won't see a court, I can promise you that.
Matt was pointing a gun at her baby, right? Yeah.
Seems like your mother had her own midwinter madness.
Matt's not your father, mate.
He won't shut up! He's crying over nothing.
Right-o, baristas.
Grad night.
- Come on.
- Are you coming? You decided on the pizzas yet? Can Tui come too? We all want to hang out.
Yeah, it's fine by me.
Um, maybe ask Robin though.
Is it all right if Tui comes? I want to go.
You sure? She can share my sleeping bag.
It quite big.
It opens out.
Let her go.
You'll call me if you change your mind? Get your mobile.
Phone.
I'll come and get you, okay? Okay.
So, what's the decision? Wait.
Bye, Noah.
Have fun! Bye.
What is it? She needs to be a kid again.
Just needs to be able to hang out with her friends.
Perfectly normal.
And we need to be normal.
Or try to be normal.
Or pretend to be normal.
Come on, let's get out of here.
You gonna talk to me here? You gonna pay me some attention? She has her phone.
She'd call if she needed us.
I'll call her, okay? You're apart from Tui again.
It feels traumatic.
It's not surprising.
Here you go.
Hey, this is Tui.
I can't speak to you right now.
Can you text me? - No answer? - I'll send a message.
Excuse me, have you got Tegan's number? Sure.

They said they were going to call.
Didn't they call? They've probably turned their phones off.
Yeah.
- Just give it a try.
- Who you ringing? Looks like she left it.
I'll just go and get it.
What took you so long? You know, the waiting has been fucking killing me.
Al, I want the kids.
