Previously...

I'm Claire. It's all a game, babe.

You do your bit, and I'll keep doing mine.

I'm going blind.

You don't think Kate could have given you

too much of this drug, do you?

I'm seeing my mum. No, you can't.

What have you been saying?

Ryder Frew isn't the only one missing.

You had a party in the room last night?

I've never seen that before. I've gotta get away.

She's in Melbourne? He's emailed again.

Weird, don't you think?

What are you doing?

Do you really think Amanda's up to something?

Why don't you have her over?

HE PANTS Help!

We're gathered here today

to remember the life of Ian Patrick O'Riley,

beloved son of Helen and the late Reg.

My earliest memory of Uncle Ian was at the hotel.

Erm...

He caught me stealing chocolates from one of the rooms,

and he said that he'd keep my secret only if I shared them with him.

Ian was my baby brother.

And when we were kids, he would annoy the hell out of me.

But as adults, he was always there.

And when I think of him, I think of his kindness.

Because he always saw the best in people.

And we always wondered when he would find love.

And he found that with you, Lee.

And I know you had so many plans for the future.

Do you wanna get up and say a few words?

I only had the honour of knowing Ian for a very short time.

But he welcomed me into his life.

Into his home.

He accepted me for who I was.

PHONE RINGS

He embraced me.

And I embraced him.

The good times we shared.

HE EXCLAIMS

He was a... beautiful...

AMANDA GROANS ..beautiful man.

Come on!

SHE GROANS

And I'll hold those memories in my heart.

Goodbye, Ian.

She's a guard dog. She can't keep you from Helen today.

Helen.

I've been wanting to come and see you.

Can I join you for the wake?

Wake? Do you think there's to be a party, Lee?

Mum?

You're the reason he's dead.

Mum, we need to talk about that night

and what happened with Ian.

Because I know that the police did an investigation,

but a lot of things don't add up. KNOCK ON DOOR

Mum! Mum!

Hey, hey. Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Yeah, I just wanna see her.

You're not welcome here.

Ian wouldn't take drugs, OK?

He wouldn't even know how to get GHB.

But you do. You do. And you brought it into the hotel.

I didn't. I swear, Helen, please, I didn't.

You're the last person to see Ian alive. Kate!

No, Mum, we need to go through this again.

I don't understand how you went from having dinner to what happened next.

Neither do I. Why'd you leave so early?

Because Ian was hoping that Lee would come home.

I called him after I left to thank him for the evening.

Yeah, and I was messaging him before that.

Yes, I know. The police asked me about it.

I gave Ian a task, and then suddenly...

Are you sure you didn't see anyone outside the house?

Lee, I wish I did.

And what about you? You just ran into each other on the beach?

Yeah.

Just having an evening stroll, were you? Yeah?

Does that complete your task?

Whether you were with Ian the night he died or not,

you're the one who brought deviant behaviour into his life.

Now, get out!

Helen, please. Get out of my house!

Mum, it's not Lee. Go, all of you! Get out, all of you!

My son!

It's all right, Mum.

God! Oh, God!

HELEN SOBS

I can't believe Helen thinks I'm to blame.

Since when does Amanda call her Mum?

Hey, Lee, are you positive that Ian wasn't into kink?

Todd. No friends? No Grindr hook-ups?

We weren't in an open relationship.

OK.

Yeah, no, nice stereotyping.

I'm just saying what the cops are thinking.

HELEN: What do you really think happened?

I think Ian was a wonderful son.

But... there was obviously a side to him that none of us knew about.

I suspect Lee came home.

They did whatever they liked to do,

and something went wrong.

But we shouldn't judge him.

We should just remember the Ian we knew.

And all these things that Kate's been saying.

This... This crazy business about my passport...

You don't need to keep explaining.

I told the police everything. I'm happy to do it again.

She's asleep.

Why'd you need me to tell them we were together?

I told you. Tell me again.

Because I was the last person to see Ian alive.

They said his time of death was somewhere between 9pm and midnight,

and I was alone then, Simon.

Alone.

So just stick to the story.

Yeah. We need to stay focused.

Don't you think that's strange?

What?

The GHB you found in the car park.

You picked it up off the ground and planted it on Lee,

and then a couple of nights later...

..Ian's coked to the eyeballs on the same stuff.

Who knows who dropped it or how the pieces fit together.

Front page again. Three days in a row.

I suppose when two bodies wash up on the same beach, it's a big story.

What's it say? Just the usual media speculation.

Erm, how you feeling about the hotel?

I don't feel anything. Nothing matters any more.

PHONE BUZZES

Helen O'Riley. Hey, I'll speak to a lawyer.

Get moving on those power-of-attorney papers.

Oh, right.

What, you can't tell me over the phone?

Says here the cause of Ryder's death was a head injury.

Well I'll call the others. So he didn't drown.

Thank you. Bye.

That was Detective Allen.

She wants to see the family all together.

A connection?

Between Ian, Ryder and Eden?

Eden and Ryder were dealing GHB.

The vials we found in their flat

matched the vial we found in Ian's bedroom.

Did any of you ever see Ian with them?

No. Never.

Is it possible they went to his house?

Absolutely not.

Lee brought drugs into the hotel.

Mum, we don't know that.

Well, if there's been foul play, I'm not gonna protect him.

Maybe ask Lee about it.

It's the only way we'll know for sure.

We will. We'll also apply for a warrant to search the house.

We'll find out what happened.

What are you doing here?

I could ask you the same question.

I'm having a look around.

Seeing if the police missed anything.

Same, yeah.

'Aye, he was up to something.'

So, what were you doing there?

And a few days ago, I saw him where we found that GHB, looking around.

You know, he wants his commission from this place, right?

And we have always wondered

whether he was in cahoots with Ryder and Eden...

But why did you go to Ian's?

Well, because I was curious, and Helen's got keys.

Is there something you wanna say to me?

Well, three people are dead, and one of them's me brother.

Who you've done nothing but complain about since I met you.

OK, well, aren't you freaked out, too?

Yes, I am! But I don't know what happened.

And I don't appreciate your tone, either.

I can't believe that Ian or Lee bought drugs.

I can't. PHONE RINGS

People aren't who you think they are.

Hello?

Yep. Yeah, of course I can.

Yep, I'll be right there. OK.

We've gotta go to the police station. Now.

On what grounds are they keeping you?

Apparently, they're saying they found GHB in my bag.

I didn't put it there.

I've been framed.

Who would do that to you? Whoever killed my Ian.

They took a sample from our pool, too.

Why the pool?

Apparently, Eden had chlorine in her lungs.

She drowned somewhere else.

This whole thing just seems like they're building a case against me.

I've never even met Ryder or Eden.

We believe you, mate.

I can't shake the feeling

that Amanda knows more than she's letting on.

Do you think we can talk to her again?

I think we should leave it for now.

Let's just focus on getting you a good lawyer.

They'll know what to do.

You need to eat.

Here. Here, your lawyer, Mr Grayson, had this drawn up.

It's the medical power of attorney.

We can take a look when you've had your shower.

Is Helen ever planning to come back to work?

Er, we don't know yet.

Oh, hi. Checking in?

I'm actually looking for Kate Templeton.

Yeah, Kate's my sister. She's not in yet.

Do I know you from somewhere?

I'm Bill Naylor. Amanda's father.

Hey, you've got a visitor. Big Daddy.

What? Bill.

He's downstairs. Bill Naylor?

Well, he's asking for Kate, so, obviously,

she's been in touch with him. No, get rid of him.

Just have a coffee with him. You have got to get him to leave.

Well, he wants to meet you. Look, I have met him before.

What?

He came to the agency looking for Amanda.

He knows me, Simon.

He knows me as Claire. What the fuck?

Look, just get rid of him.

How? I don't know.

Make something up! OK.

He can't see me, and Helen shouldn't see him either.

Simon, just do it! All right!

Mum? Mum, are you here?

Mum?

You came.

Yes, I, er... I really wanna meet Amanda.

Well, that's wonderful.

There's something, erm... that you don't know.

Our brother, Ian, passed away about ten days ago.

Oh, I'm so sorry. Yeah, we're all devastated.

Look, this is a bad time. I'll go. No.

No. Mum will be glad that you're here.

I just need to word everyone up, if that's OK?

Sure. Let them know that I contacted you.

I reached out to Bill a couple of weeks ago.

I figured Amanda would... get in touch sooner or later.

You're still in Bendigo?

Yeah, almost 40 years now.

I lost Lynnie last year.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Did you tell Bill? I told Bill about Ian.

I can't imagine what you're going through.

Oh.

Bill. Not good news, I'm afraid.

Amanda's just ducked off into the city.

What? Yeah.

Look, she just left, but I imagine she'll be gone all day.

Amanda never said she was going anywhere.

Amanda? I just saw her.

I saw her go into your room.

Simon's room? Yeah.

Oh. Come on, let's go and find her.

We can continue this at my place. I'm here at the hotel.

No, don't.

I... just think you should go on your own, Mum.

KNOCK ON DOOR Amanda.

I know you're in there.

What are you doing in there?

Can I come in? I can't see Bill.

Why not?

Er... has he said anything about me?

Well, he wants to meet you.

Did he tell you he's come looking for me before?

No. Had he?

Yeah.

He came to the agency once, back home.

I met him there.

The adoption agency?

Yeah. You were there, too?

Er...

Right, OK, so I haven't told you this before, but, erm...

..there was a time when I wanted to find you both.

Before I got the letter.

So I went to the... I went to the agency, hoping for some answers.

And there was a man, a man in the waiting room.

Bill?

Yeah.

I... I don't understand. You were...

You were there that same day? Yeah.

I heard him say his name, but I didn't tell him mine.

Then we got chatting. You're sure it was Bill?

I just thought he was a sweet man.

Then he turned.

He turned?

Mm.

He got all... he got all flirtatious and was coming on to me.

I got a really bad feeling, and I left.

And he followed me.

And he just kept going, but I could hear his footsteps behind me,

and I... my heart was racing, and...

I couldn't breathe because I didn't wanna play the game!

I don't wanna play the game!

Oh, love. Love, you're confused.

Whatever that experience was, it...

Please, just... just come and meet Bill,

and you'll see, you'll see you're mistaken.

Please, just tell him to go.

It was my son encouraged me to come. He's always known I have a daughter.

Where's Amanda? She's unwell.

I thought you said she was going into the city.

I'm sorry, Bill. She's not going to be able to see you today.

Mum, that's ridiculous. He's driven all this way.

Let me walk you out. Mum!

Hopefully, we'll see each other again.

And what was she doing in your room?

Maybe she was looking for me.

SHE SCOFFS

She's not ill, is she?

Did you try to find Amanda in the UK?

I would have told you.

Lynnie and I were over on holiday once.

I remembered the agency and just decided to go.

What did Amanda say?

I'm sorry you drove down, Bill.

If there's a chance to do this again,

I'll be in touch.

Yeah.

It's good to see you again.

Aye.

Has he gone? Yeah, yeah.

Why didn't you tell me you'd met him?

It wasn't relevant.

Well, of course it was bloody relevant.

I mean, there was always a chance he'd turn up.

Yeah, well, he's gone.

We need to manage Helen.

Just do as I say.

She told me what happened in the UK.

Must have been pretty upsetting.

Erm...

Thank you for your support today. Both of you.

Let's just put it behind us.

Why wouldn't she see him? I don't know.

Don't you usually have an opinion?

Forget Amanda. We need to get the hotel sold.

The buyer's getting restless.

Todd, Mum is grieving.

Exactly. We'd be doing her a favour by taking it off her hands.

Well, who is this buyer anyway?

It's the marina, isn't it? That's why you won't say.

Look, it has been a horrible few weeks,

but there is a chance for us all to be happy.

You'll see.

Careful, it's hot. You need to keep your strength up.

Don't forget your tablets.

You know before, when you told me that story...

I don't want to talk about it.

You said that Bill followed you from the agency,

and then you said something about a game.

You seemed confused.

So... So... maybe you were talking about another situation.

Do you not believe me? Is that it?

I'm just trying to understand.

After all I've done for you.

I've given up my life to be here with you.

I've waited on you hand and foot, and this, THIS is how you repay me?

I shouldn't have to explain myself. You should believe me!

Amanda. Amanda!

Argh! Oh!

Oh, don't, don't, don't. What?

What are we doing?

Well, I am trying to fuck you.

Yeah, but...

but let's say we get Mum to sign this power of attorney...

Mm-hm.

So, what next?

Do we really have to talk about this now?

Yes, I... I want to know.

Well, the plan is still the same.

We sell the hotel...

..get the money in your account...

..and leave.

HE MOANS

Morning.

Right, so you just need to sign where it's marked.

You too, Simon.

That way, Todd and Lee won't get their hands on anything.

Helen.

Helen.

Right, OK, so you need to sign there.

And... last one, there.

There you go, Simon.

Right, and now that is done...

..have you thought any more about my idea?

What idea?

Well, I thought we could drive out to Yellow Gum.

Apparently, you used to go there when you were kids.

We did. Mm.

Sounds lovely.

The real Australia.

And I still haven't seen a kangaroo.

Today?

Today.

Ooh, this is it.

It's weird to think it's owned by your birth mum.

I am really happy with our life.

With you, your dad, your grandparents.

I have never wanted anything more.

SHE SIGHS Am I doing the right thing?

We are just a couple of tourists from Perth,

checking in and checking things out.

It's the perfect plan.

We can suss what's going on.

What Bill meant by that email.

Then I can decide whether or not I want to come forward.

Right.

I'll bring the car to the front door,

make things easy for you.

Simon will meet us downstairs.

I was hoping to catch Kate before she left for work.

I'll make sure she passes this on to Amanda.

Well, she might not accept it, but I couldn't leave town without trying.

Why do you reckon she refused to see you?

Oh, I must have written something to offend her.

Hang on. You wrote to Amanda?

I once got a lead on her family name.

Needle in a haystack,

but I tried a few email combinations,

and one day, I got a reply.

From Amanda?

She never mentioned that.

Well, all the details matched.

She didn't want to continue contact,

but she kindly sent her photo through.

Do you have the photo?

Yeah.

We're a little early to check in.

SIMON: So, what's with this outing?

We all need a break.

What the fuck?

Who are you? What are you talking about?

You're not Amanda, so who are you?

SHE SCOFFS She's a bloody con woman.

That's why she didn't want to see Bill. You're crazy.

Yeah? Let's go inside.

Find Helen and Kate, see what they make of all this.

You really want to do this, Todd?

So what now?

ENGINE REVS

THUD

Fuck!

You can't just go. Stop! Just let's get Helen and get out of here.

Thanks.

Hi. Did you say you wanted room service?

Shall we check in now?

SHE SIGHS

I'm so nervous.

Well, it's a huge thing, Mum.

If you go ahead and make your presence known.

And why are you suddenly the grown-up in this situation?

Room 31's aircon isn't working. Can you call maintenance?

It's probably just a fuse.

SHE SCREAMS

Now, according to the map, there's a lovely scenic walk.

I might stay in the car.

Don't be silly, Helen.

This is something we're doing together.

Right.

Now, I think... it's that way.

Come on.

It's all right, darling. It's all right.

Courtney, are you sure you didn't see anything?

No, I didn't see anything or anyone around.

HE MUMBLES: Aman... Amanda.

Amanda.

I just parked the car.

I got a bit lost getting from your place to here.

I'll look for you in reception.

Amanda?

I can't walk this fast.

Not long now.

Please, I have to rest.

Do you want me to miss this experience?

Something you did with your other kids.

No, you rest.

We'll go on ahead.

See how far the lookout is.

Won't be long.

What are we doing? What do you think I'm doing?

What if you've killed Todd? Oh, he's no angel.

He had something to do with Ryder's death, I can feel it.

Why do you say that?

Will you stop for a second and tell me why?

Because I saw him. I saw Ryder.

He was up a ladder, at your window, taking photos of us.

What? Yeah.

So I grabbed the phone, and the ladder toppled over.

And then I went to check on him later, and he was gone.

So that's how he got the head injury?

Why didn't you tell me about it? No, that's not the point.

The point is that Todd was hanging around that night.

And he could have been involved.

And what about the girl? Eden?

I've no idea what happened to her.

Y-You live in Perth?

My parents emigrated when I was five.

My adoptive parents.

Oh.

To think, all this time,

you were living on the other side of the country.

I wasn't sure I ever wanted to meet you.

But then you wrote to me again.

Why did you think Mum was already here?

It didn't make sense. I was worried.

A lot's been going on,

and I'm only just starting to piece it together myself.

KATE: Try Granny again on the way to the hospital. OK.

Bill. Kate.

This is Amanda.

Did you kill Ian?

He was my brother.

You hated him anyway.

Yeah, well, I didn't want him to die.

No-one was meant to die.

Fuck.

Fuck! Keep it together!

What's done is done.

You're in this too, you know.

Are we OK?

This is perfect.

SHE SIGHS It's all a game.

Yeah, it is, Claire.

Ah! SHE SCREAMS

THUD

She's not picking up. I will try my brother.

I can't believe she's been pretending to be me.

Yeah, I knew something was up, but I wasn't expecting this.

How does someone do that?

I don't know. Why?

Simon's not picking up either.

You heard your sister scream?

I had my back to her, and, er...

..I turned around.

She-She was gone.

The rocks are slippery.

And you didn't see anything?

No.

But you were standing nearby?

My mum's got a condition.

Advanced macular degeneration.

I, er... I didn't see a thing.

PHONE BUZZES

It's Kate. Hey, Kate. 'Yeah, are you with Mum?'

Yeah, I'm here, Kate.

OK, she's not who she says she is.

She's not Amanda. Helen, it's Bill.

I recognise her. She works at the adoption agency in London.

'She's an imposter, Mum.'

We've been had.

Is he gonna be all right?

Yeah, the surgery was successful.

Is he really saying Amanda was responsible?

Whatever her real name is, yes.

Did he say anything else?

No, just her name over and over again.

Are you OK?

We'd better get our story straight.

Like, how did we let a total stranger con her way into our lives?

We see what we want to see.

I should have listened to you.

Yeah, I didn't make it easy for you to trust me.

I know I should stand up to Todd.

Be a better role model for Corrine.

You want to be loved.

Oh, I loved Bill.

I loved your father, too, but...

When she came back, Amanda, I...

..I just got caught up in what might have been,

instead of what I have,

what I've always had with you kids.

I know things will be different...

..without Ian. SHE SOBS

But do you think we can try to fix things?

Because we've got to look after you.

We've got to look after each other.

Yeah. Yeah.

So, the police just spoke to Todd. I heard a bit more of what happened.

Apparently, he confronted Amanda... well, Claire.

And that's why she ran him down.

What else was said?

Well, she pretty much admitted to killing Eden and Ryder.

And, erm...

I don't know how to tell you this. I'm sorry.

Ian?

I'm sorry, Mum.

Granny. Oh, Corrine.

Lee. I'm sorry to you, too.

OK, they'll be waiting for us.

Are you ready, Mum?

I'm ready.

# Things fall apart... #

Is it really you?

Hello, Helen.

# I wasn't there, but I know

# She was your girl

# You showed her the world

# You fell out of love

# And you both let go

# She was crying on my shoulder

# All I could do was hold her

# Only made us closer

# Until July

# Now I know that you love me
