[ramping ambient music]
[metal sign swings]
Hello?
Are you all right, miss?
What can I do for you?
Well, first I want
a licorice lace,
'cause I haven't seen
any in about ten years
and I used to love
them as a kid.
And I'm looking for my friend.
She moved here about
nine months ago.
Do you recognize her?
Oh...
[laughs]
No, sorry, I'm just kidding.
Yeah...
This is the girl that moved
into the lighthouse.
She comes in here
from time to time.
She's not quite
this girl anymore.
Well, how do I get
to this lighthouse?
[woman singing
in foreign language]
Oh, hi.
It's Maya, right?
It's Amy.
You've grown.
Well, it looks like you've finally
learned how to cook then.
It's a nice place, isn't it?
Very distant.
Maya's grown.
What do you want?
You Beth, Jesus.
I didn't even get
a chance to say goodbye.
Had to find out where you were
from Charlie in accounts.
How's he doing?
Oh great, yeah,
he's getting a new puppy.
What kind?
I don't know.
What are you doing?
God, you're like
a five year old.
Why are you here?
I just wanna talk to you,
Beth.
Just one night
and then I'll go.
We can't leave things
how we... left them.
Anyway, took me
ages to get here.
And it looks like you need
a little bit of a hand.
You're really good at making
it look like I have a choice.
It's what I'm best at.
[siren blares]
[continues blaring]
That's what I meant.
In about two minutes your road
home will be underwater.
[groaning]
Thanks for helping me
with my bag, by the way.
You brought it.
[old-timey music plays]
Well, if you've lost your mind out here at
least you've still got your taste in music.
Need something
to fill the void.
Not now, Maya.
Maya, go.
What do you want?
Jesus, Maya!
[sighs]
Go on.
She still not talking?
We try not to talk about it.
[silverware clanks]
Oh, you've got a dog?
Had.
Oh, sorry.
What kind of dog was she?
It's a bit dark in here,
should we open the curtain?
Don't. We like it shut.
Okay, that's a bit weird.
I think I see things
all the time.
Probably just driftwood,
or a whale.
Lighthouses are more about people
looking this way than us looking out.
Very educational.
In a past life I used to tell
people about things.
How has the advertising game
survived without you?
Has it?
I left people
like you in charge.
It's still around.
I actually left the company
I didn't wanna keep walking past your old
office and making small talk with people.
No one said anything but I wasn't
How's Maya?
She's in her room.
She's amazing, you know.
You can always tell that she's thinking,
there's a lot going on in there.
Look, I don't really
know what I'm doing.
No, it seems like it.
I'm sorry, I should
have said something.
Yeah, you should.
Christ, I wasn't gonna hang around to
explain to everyone how it gets...
how it gets better
every day...
So you just moved out here
to the arse end of nowhere?
It's definitely
a change of pace.
You could say that again.
Quiet at least.
No gossip.
So that's it?
Just you and Maya?
How long?
You're not coming back,
are you?
You left, didn't you?
Yeah, I don't mean
back like that, I mean...
You know, people, schools.
How is Maya's schooling?
I'm homeschooling her.
What? Beth, come on, Maya needs
to be around kids her own age.
She needs help, professionals,
specialists,
people who know stuff.
I know stuff.
We tried, okay? It didn't work.
So you stopped trying.
I'm sorry.
It's getting late.
I should go and
make the sofa up.
We can chat in the morning.
