1 FOREBODING MUSIC How's it? Nicky, how lovely to see you (!) Yeah, thought I'd knock off a few clicks, pop over. Mum hasn't talked to the cops. You've got your money. Nah, see, that cash was really more of an interest thing, which still leaves a couple of mill outstanding. Dad is literally spewing. $2 million? That was the deal. It goes in dirty, it comes back nice and clean ` only it ain't been coming back. Look, I don't know anything about that, and Mum's not exactly in any position to do anything, so` You see, my dad is old school, and he don't like to be let down, just like I don't wanna get aggro with you... CAR BEEPS or your family. You stay away from my family. Talk to your mum. See what you can come up with. THUD! WHISPERS: Shit. Hey. Hi. Hi, sweetie. Uh, bit of an emergency, sorry. Somehow, um, Hayley managed to get hold of some bubblegum, and now it's all through her hair. Oh no! And chance you could cut it out? I can do it. Could you? No problem! Come on! Go on. Where she got the bubblegum from, I have no idea. (LAUGHS) I'm sure it'll be fine. When I was little, Kat and Matt told me bubblegum was good for my hair, and Mum had to shave my head, and we raised money for cancer. (SCREAMS) Oh my god. What? Animals. What do you mean? In her hair. Uh, it's all right! Don't panic, anyone. It'll be OK, I promise you. Nana Pat?! Nana Pat?! Nana! All right! All right! Where's the fire? We need your help for Hayley. Oh. What's up with you, poppet? She has... nits. I have to stress this isn't a definite offer. But...? I've talked to the Fraud Office and the IRD,... Yeah. ...and if your mother was to turn over the offshore funds` Except there are no offshore funds. I applaud you for holding the party line. OK, let's say, hypothetically, if there were funds, and your mother was, hypothetically, able to return them, then there is a chance she can walk. Why are you talking to me about this and not her? Donna's not being very cooperative. In fact, she's being kind of weird. In what way? There was the thing with the bail hearing. Yeah. And when I mentioned the deal, she started humming. Humming? Rolling Stones, 'You Can't Always Get What You Want', I think. I'm a bit worried about her mental state. Don't try that old chestnut. What? Pleading insanity is not gonna wash. I happen to be genuinely concerned. OK, I can talk to her. I guess it's worth a shot. I like your mum, but she needs to understand that this is on the table for a limited time only. You're feigning insanity? I was humming because I didn't know what to say. I felt bad about lying to Andrew. Gosh, imagine that (!) I don't want to put you in a bad position. Is the Rossini money really in an overseas account? I'm afraid so. $2 million? It's there. Belongs to Nicky's dad. Well, can't we just transfer it back to them? That would kind of defeat the purpose. (SIGHS) They don't want dirty money, and Trevor's accounts ` the old accounts ` they're being watched. Bloody hell, Mum. How did you do this in the first place? The cash went in by boat. Right. And then we'd transfer amounts through our various holding companies a` ...and partners, invoicing for services. That's off the table now. Where's the money being held? What are you thinking? Someone has to pay back the Rossinis. You? Nicky's not going anywhere, Mum. It's just a blessing that Oscar's not staying with us. Vicky's still fighting your brother? Mum, where's the money? Samoa. OK. So who do I call to get it? W` What's the account number? It's not quite that simple. Right, let's get you sorted, lad. I'm so sorry. Pat said I had to draw up a list of contacts. No, this is great. Vicky let me pick up Oscar for the first time in ages. (CHUCKLES) She's paranoid about nits. Yeah. Perhaps I should've sent Hayley somewhere private. All kids get nits, even rich ones. You're so calm about this. Such a good dad. Tell that to Vicky. Are things not good? Well, I'm working through my lawyer. She's drawn up another letter. Would you like me to look at it? With my ex, I got custody and the house. Did Donna give you the account number? < You don't know it? Well, your mum took care of all that. No, thank you. Apparently there's something else I'll need if all the money's withdrawn. Yeah, two halves of the ring. Shazam! OK. Probably the best thing, the simplest thing, is for you to give me the account number. That's not gonna happen. Alley Kat, where is the trust? You remember what happened to Leo. Yeah, yeah. (SIGHS) Not fair the way the world works, is it? Trevor, 'shazam'? I really think I'm better qualified to deal with this. Other alternative ` I go to Nicky, explain the hold-up, and he breaks your other hand. Alley Kat, when did you get to be so hard? I'm learning. I've tried to be fair and reasonable to Vicky` Well, that's your first problem right there! You always were such a serious wee soul. You wanted to make... documentaries. I don't remember. Yeah, wandering around with a video camera, wanting to save the whales. So what do you think? (CLEARS THROAT) Well,... (SIGHS) you are totally not hitting the right issues. I mean, this is all about custody, what's best for Oscar, blah, blah, blah. That's the whole point. Yeah, I know, but you need to hit her where it hurts. May I? Yeah, go for it. OK, what's the deal on the house? Legally, I'm entitled to 50-50. Who paid the deposit? My mum. Great! Well, then you go 75-25. What is Vicky's line of work? She has a cafe. Mm-hm. And were you involved in that? It was a start-up, with my Mum. Better and better! Does the evil ex have a partner? Dan the Meat Man. (SCOFFS) Vicky's not evil. No, she is the enemy. She is Satan. She was jumping him before the split? How did you know? Educated guess. So you want cash from the business and money for pain and suffering. Well, legally, that sounds dubious. The point is to scare the crap out of her so that she'll roll over in the gutter and beg for a compromise. Guys, we're just about done. I'd better go close up, but it's so cute, right? Yeah. (LAUGHS) Bye! See ya. Everything OK, baby? Yes. Gosh, that's almost the same as when I was staying. Uh, yeah. Dad never really got around to finishing the renovation. God rest his soul. Ah! In 24 hours, apply again. Super nits never get past my lotion. How interesting. GENTLE MUSIC Somewhere around... here. (GRUNTS) This thing has to be given to a certain person on a certain island if we have to. Yes. Samoa. There's a bank. Which is also a bar, which is registered as a bank. Right. That sounds reliable (!) On receiving this authorisation, this person will transfer the money. Why all the cloak and dagger? Terms we agreed on closing the account, if we really have to. We have to. What? You're gonna do it? What if the cops are watching? Trust me, it's all under control. CELL PHONE RINGS Hi. Hi. Did you see your mum? I did. She denies there being any money. You believe her? Well, she was a bit vague, but, um, there was no humming. Maybe I should get a psych report. I don't think it's that bad. Hey, I'm kind of in the middle of something. I won't hold you up. Do you wanna do something tonight, seeing as we're meant to be dating? I'd love to, but I` I have this deal to wrap up. Um, can I get back to you? Sure. Good luck with the deal. Thanks. You said if I ever needed help. > Are the Rossinis still hassling you? Yeah. And I need someone outside my family I can trust. I'm your man. Got a present for you. Pardon? I, uh, didn't have time to get it gift-wrapped. Thank you. Pleasure. Is this a taser? Yeah. If Nicky or any of his mates try to hassle you` I just zap them? Yeah. BOTH LAUGH What? And then they come back and kill me and my family? Well, that's not very likely. You were the one who said that the Rossinis are organised crime with missing associates. I` Well, just` I don't know. Stick it in your bag just in case. Right. Can we get back to the part where I was grovelling for your help? Sure. So, um, how far do you wanna go with that? I have a boyfriend. Oh. Well, what happened to the fiance? We're taking it slowly. See, I knew it wouldn't last. I just need to know if you can help me. Yes or no? What if in the process I earn your undying gratitude? Stop. This is important. In my world, there are no written contracts. If I agree to do something, I do whatever is in my power. Good enough? Yeah. What's the gig? Shifting some money ` quite a lot of it. What are you planning to do with it? Hide it somewhere safe. 1 Can I go now? Can you finish up here first? Kitty Purry's not very well. My cat. OK. I hope she's better soon. Thanks. Hi. Laters. Everything OK with Hayley and the... (WHISPERS) critters? Dying like flies. What is in that stuff? I dunno. It's a secret recipe. But I just hope word doesn't get around. I mean, nits aren't great for business. Actually, I've checked with a few of the other parents, and apparently this is an epidemic. Oh my God, that's terrible. No, Bianca, this is an opportunity, and your nana is pure untapped gold. (LAUGHS) That's not something people often say about my nana. Well, there is a first time for everything. Hey! Babe! You know that five hundy Uncle Trevor gave you? Yeah. Well, Imogen has this idea that I need skin in the game. Well, the 500 was, kind of, my skin, and I, kind of, spent it. We're supposed to be saving it. Don't give my man a hard time. It's gone to a good cause. This? Yeah. Well, Leo's mate wants in on my car, and I fix it... And I sell. It's a perfect arrangement. I just wanted to do my bit, eh, babe? Aw, babe. (SIGHS) You guys should get a room. This is all looking pretty good. Great. Did you wanna have a look over it? Uh, I'd just like to sign it and get it over with. Wh` What is the hold up? It's, uh` It's a complicated deal. I still need to have a chat with a couple of the investors, make sure they're happy with the disbursement clauses. They'll get what's due. That's why I have bloody accountants. Look, it's my job to be thorough. How long do you need? A day. Two tops. Done. Enjoying yourself, aren't you? Never walk on the wild side. Absolutely, David. Let's get out and eat,... (SIGHS) and get on with it, you. Will do. Talk soon. SNEAKY MUSIC (SIGHS) Twice in one day? I'm feeling lucky. Don't get too excited. (LAUGHS) So, this job. I need you to take a trip to Samoa. OK. You'll meet with a contact, give them a gift so they can release the cash. How much? Two mill. Wow. And to sweeten the deal for yourself, you can take the 200 grand my dad owed you. This is the Rossini money, right? Yeah. And you're wondering what's to stop me from taking the lot? The thought had occurred to me. You don't know me very well, do you? It's something I'd like to remedy. Settle. (LAUGHS) Plus, with you, lovely lady, I'm playing the long game. And to prove my intention... Key to my house. So if I end up with cement boots` Which is not gonna happen. If I don't come back, my little slice of paradise is all yours, OK? OK. Right. (SIGHS) Burner phones. Relevant numbers are in there. From now on, we only communicate using these. Your flights are booked for 6am tomorrow morning. And this is the rest of what you'll need. Oh! Well, how do you like your clinic? Oh! Looks like the gypsies are in town. (LAUGHS) When did you do all this? I got some pixies in overnight. Oh! (GASPS) So get yourself set up. We'll cover all of your costs. I hope you've got enough of your potion, Nana ` or should I call you Pat? You can call me the Queen of Sheba as long as we do it my way. Of course. I don't take any cheek from nippers. Fair enough. And I knock off when I want to. There's some people here about a nit thing. Well, send them through! God, that girl is useless! People know about this already? Yeah, I tweeted, Facebooked and Instagramed my work database, the school newsletter, and there's a competition on radio for people's worst lice stories. Winner gets a free cut and colour. Amazing!

Like I said, somewhere safe. Thank you. Shit! It's nice to see you again, detective. Oh, cheers. Problem? Uh, yeah. I have to go. Thank you. What can I do for you today, Detective Turner? You need to come with me. Can't we talk here? Now, please, Ms Rafferty. SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC TENSE MUSIC You've been spying on me? Actually, we had a watch on Mr Rossini. You may have a low opinion of the police,... No, not at all. ...but when the son of a major Aussie crime figure enters the country, it can come to our attention. I didn't ask him to get into my car. Oh, I'm sure you didn't. However, he did, which begs the question ` why? Do I need a lawyer? You're not being charged with anything yet. What did Nick Rossini wanna talk with you about? It was a misunderstanding. About what? The Rossinis are interested in NZ business opportunities. They thought I might be interested in representing them. I declined. Why? Because I don't deal with alleged criminals. No, why would they think you'd be interested? Does this have anything to do with your mother by any chance? No. Look, Kat, if you're in trouble, if you're in over your head, I can help you. So this has nothing to do with your mother's activities, her sources of funding? My mother has been doing nothing except sitting in her cell on remand. Now, if you don't mind` Just a few more questions. You wanna do some business? Thanks, beautiful, but I'm, uh, actually waiting for someone. Do you wanna talk about a financial transaction? As a matter of fact, yes. Did Trevor send you? In a manner of speaking. Are you bullshitting me? Cos I don't like guys that bullshit me. I'm not. I've got an account number. That's what the last fella said. What fella? The one that came here trying to bullshit me into closing an account. I need to speak to Trevor. (SIGHS) He's not here. You never heard of Skype? (LAUGHS QUIETLY) Sorry, got held up. Just training my maths team for the` What the hell is this?! Looks like a letter from my lawyer. It's nasty. It's bullying. Why don't you put something through your lawyer? I never resorted to threats. No, you just wanna stop me from seeing my son. You can see him any time you want, Matt. On your terms, when you feel like it. And you're still living in my house. I can't afford all of this. The lease is coming up on the cafe. Going after my business? Well, me and Mum did contribute. Matt, why are you being so mean about this? You always said I should get real. And if you were a little more flexible about custody. (LAUGHS) This is a ploy to get me to roll over? It's entirely genuine, and if you need time to think about it` I will not give into this, Matt. And I hate you. The feeling's mutual. Take me to court if you want to! Hey, it's my Island princess! Talofa, Rose, my petal. You know this fella? Kat sent me ` Kat Rafferty. Well, in that case, he's probably on the level. So why aren't you here yourself, Trevor? I'm a bit tied up, Rosie.

Scott didn't want Hayley at all. (SIGHS) That's sad. (SIGHS) But he did want the house, so I went gunning for his family trust and his motorbike collection. BOTH LAUGH You really are quite... What?

But you still got it on with Dad. Nothing happened while I was staying. Dean was just so kind to me, affectionate. I'd never really had that kind of male role model in my life.
