I saw you from a distance at his funeral. It was really sad. It was. I should get another cab, then. Why don't I give you a lift? You don't have to. Nonsense. My car's just round the corner. That would be awesome. I'm only too happy to help. I think hiring security might be in order next time. Or Vivian could stay at home. Shall we go? Well, we could always share a cab. She is so on with him. Yup. Looks likely. John divorced her years ago. The fact that she is still in my life like the 13th fuckin' fairy is... ...insufferable? Got it in one. Are you all right? Not really. That girl is turning out to be quite an asset. She's also 20, and I'm fairly sure your wife wouldn't approve. I'm not doing anything. Of course not. That would be unprofessional. Not to mention inappropriate. Brady, Vader's been trying to call you. He has? Someone broke into the house. You feeling OK? We've been looking after her. Thank you. Have you called the police? VADER: Uh, we thought we should wait for you. > (SIGHS) Oh shit. They got the Hanly. What happened? I was reading, then I hear a noise. Someone grabs me. They tie me up, put tape on my face. They? You mean there was more than one of them? I think so. Two, at least. Did you get a look at them? Not their faces. Where's the girls? They went to bed early. UNSETTLED MUSIC Kennedy. Grace. Kennedy! Grace! (BREATHES HEAVILY) Yes, I'd like to report a home invasion. Uh, my house has been broken into, there's been an assault, and my daughter and her friend are missing. I'm not surprised you didn't recognise me. The only time we were properly introduced was at a garden party at Government House. I don't remember that. You would've been about 6. You sang me a song, as I recall, by The Pussycat Dolls. CHUCKLES: Oh God, no. It was certainly more lively than the rest of the event, and this is us. Thank you. We can't have a young lady out on the mean streets on her own. It's just my mother doesn't know that I'm out. Where does she think you are? At home, studying. Ah, subterfuge. I guess. I think this could stay our little secret, don't you? That would be so cool. Like I said, just happy to help. OMINOUS MUSIC MUSIC CONTINUES
