LOW, TENSE MUSIC HOOVES CLIP-CLOP SIREN CHIRPS TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES Morning, officers. What can I do you for? They're interviewing people again. What say people end up facing charges because of me? There's not really much you can do, Mum. I still don't know how they could've got hold of the books. Um,... look, there's something I have to tell you. I think it might have been Dad. Your father was` He's alive, Mum. What? Yeah. He's turned up. Claims he had amnesia. He's`? He's alive? I said I wasn't gonna tell you until after the trial, but I think he might've done a deal with the cops. Why would he have taken the books? You said he knew where the lock-up was. Jackson said there was someone in Samoa looking for the Rossini money. It makes sense that it was him. (SNIFFS) Oh, love. Sorry. I said I wouldn't do this. SOFT, INTRIGUING MUSIC (GROANS) I know what your father meant... means to you. SOBS: I just can't believe he'd do this to you. Where is he now? Uh, he's at home. He's in the house? Mr Rafferty. How's it hangin'? Hey, your father's talking to you. Hi. ZIP WHIZZES I know this is all a bit of an adjustment. You sucked me in. You lied about being Fiona Fuji. Mm. (CHUCKLES) But she was pretty cute, right? That doesn't change the point. I know. I just wanted to know what you were up to. Do you really hate Mum? No. No, of course not. Well, you guys were fighting heaps before you` > ...fell off the boat, had that stupid amnesia. Yep, that. The fighting was just a stage we were going through, Leo. You'll understand more when you get older. Will you ever. Mum, please. You're doing so well, mate. How do you know? Had a look at your schoolwork. I did get a bit confused by the E's. They're just excellences. Yeah, your old man picked it up after a while. And that school trip, huh? That sounds pretty amazing. Yeah, for sure. DOOR CLOSES Gidday, Trev. You piece of shit. Hey, hey. I hear you dobbed Donna. I never did any such` Ugh! Far out! Ugh! You deserve that, you cretin. I haven't even gone to court, but I'm still sunk. We're both down the dunny. (GROANS) I can't believe he's still alive. I know someone who could take him out for good. It's almost tempting. I feel bad that you have to deal with this shit now. Not your fault, sweetheart. Any news on your situation? My lawyer's organising it so my sister can bring Kahu in to see me. That is such great news. That wouldn't have happened except for you. Well, you've got your court date now. You'll be out of here soon. Don't care what happens to me as long as my little boy's good. Isn't that why we do everything, us mums? I just hope your kids are grateful. How it going? It's a minefield. Actually, you could call it a textbook for money laundering 101. Oh God. Is there anything about Brisbane? Not yet. Why? BROODING MUSIC How much did you know about all of this? A bit. But it's kind of been incremental. I didn't tell you because it would have been a conflict. But I know that Mum is doing this for the right reasons. She's just trying to help people. Well, that's all very touching, but champion of the underdog's not about to cut it in court. You're angry. I'm screwed is what I am ` a defence lawyer with no defence. (SIGHS) I'm sorry. It's not your fault. I just need to keep going and see what I can salvage. BROODING MUSIC CONTINUES We have to go in to Immigration. First you need to see a lawyer. My sister gave me a name. So Sarah. You need to go and see her, and I will pay for it. You would? Na zhen shi tai hao le. You're my colleagues, OK? It's only fair. Oh, what now? I still need to see those accounts of yours. I told you my business partner has them. And I've done nothing wrong here except try really hard. Remind her I need to see them ASAP. Hey. Hi. That detective... The annoying one? He still wants the salon accounts. I've sent them. And I think he'll find that everything's entirely above board. I've got a lawyer for Miley and Rihanna. They were on student visas. So? Bianca, you don't wanna mess with Immigration. They make the IRD look like kindy teachers. Miley and Rihanna are your employees. Technically they're subcontractors. > If I do nothing, I'll feel like the bitch person that Tane thinks I am. I really don't see how these two things are related. He thinks I've gone hard, and he's left me. Oh, well, that's a shame, but` He was my fiance! I love him. So this is about impressing your boyfriend? It's my business ` yours and mine ` and we've gotta take care of the people we work with. Uh, I disagree. And I think you'll find that in the event of a dispute between the owners, the majority shareholder makes the call. That's you? 51%. When was that decided? It was in the contract you signed, Bianca. Didn't you read it? Shift that. WHISPERS: There you go. Oh, it's Irish stew tonight, love. Oh, Mum, you spoil me. Nonsense. Ooh, would you like a beer? Yes. What's that you've got there? A contract. Ooh, they're never good. Here's the woman you wanna see ` lawyer in the house. Have your workmates been to see Sarah? No. They're going to. Oh, great. How are you, beautiful? (SIGHS) Hey. (KNOCKS) Hey. Can I come in? How's Mum? Uh, not so good. I had to tell her about Dad. Oh. How'd she take it? > Yeah, she's pretty shattered. Surely the cops can charge him with something. Well, he's obviously done a deal, so` (KNOCKS) (SIGHS) I know I'm not popular with the pair of you right now. Yeah, no shit, Dad. I had my reasons for what I've done, and Leo needs a Dad. (SCOFFS) And I will make it up to the two of you` Save it. (SCOFFS) Your brother ` still building his pole house on the moral high ground. Yeah, well, I think it's fair enough. He's no angel. This whole thing with Imogen... > What thing with Imogen? When I turned up at her house, well, the two of them were... intimate, if you know what I mean. Bullshit. I wish it was, but I saw them together. (SCOFFS) Honestly, he would say any kind of crap. CHUCKLES: Yeah. You and Imogen? It's rubbish, right? Look, she'd been helping me with the Hanky Panky, then she was upset. It's true? It was a kiss. That's all. Matt, you promised me you wouldn't go there. No, I didn't. And it wasn't intentional. What, you just fell on her lips (?) You know what? I'm sick of feeling guilty, and` and as I keep saying, Imogen has her good points. Yeah, two of them. That is not my motivation. Imogen has been really supportive with Vicky, losing my job` What, and I haven't been? You've got your own things going on. And this is not a crime. You actually have a thing for Imogen? Jesus, Matt. How do you think Mum's gonna feel about this? How's that united front going? Quite honestly, I think Imogen could be the making of your brother. How do you figure that? She'll shake him up a bit. Excuse me. I know you're a bit dark on me. Strangely, yes (!) I had to give the cops something ` but not everything. What do you mean? Here. I figured the stuff about the guys in Brisbane... The Rossinis? Uh-huh. Not a great look. What am I meant to do with these? Do whatever you want. Chuck 'em. No, burn them. It doesn't make up for what you did. TELEPHONE: Rafferty residence. Pat. Is he there? If you mean my son, yes, he is. It's for you. (INHALES SLOWLY) Is that Eugene about the job? No. It's your wife. BROODING MUSIC Hello, love. 'Love'? You're calling me 'love'? All right, let's just take a moment here. For what? Well, I figure we need to play the long game. You mean the game where you come back from the dead, take my books and give them to the cops? Yeah, I had no choice. And the kids need at least one parent. You shit. You're the one who put me in this position in the first place, Donna. Do you realise how many people you might hurt by this? Well, I'm sorry, but family does come first. You mean you, you selfish bastard. All right. I know I have my faults. The fact is I'm back now. I don't want us to be enemies. It's too late for that, Dean. All a bit shitty? Yeah. (BREATHES UNSTEADILY) I can't believe how much I used to love him. < Know that one. Used to forgive him anything. The way he smiled, because of the children. (SIGHS) Anyway,... talking to him, it puts it in perspective. I know what I need to do now. < What? What I should have done a long time ago. 1 Imogen really can do this, make all the rules? Yeah, looks that way. She can be a tough customer, that Immie. You want me to sort her out? I'm a dummy. I should have read the contract. Hey, you're not a dummy. You're the sweetest girl in the universe. I don't know about that. You stay true to what you believe in, honey. > DOOR SHUTS Kia ora, folks. Hey! Holy shit. PAT: It's my boy. He's home. > < Yeah, I can see that. < Gidday, mate. < Yeah, kia ora. How are you? I got some fish. And some... eggs. (CHUCKLES) MATT: Imogen, this thing about you and Bianca... So she's been telling tales, has she? She's upset, and what she's trying to do isn't unreasonable. I have gone out of my way to help Bianca, and, yes, the girls are sweet, but I can't afford to be sentimental. Imogen, we need to hold it together. We do? Me, you, all of us ` as a family. OK. Surely you can compromise. Well, yeah, if you think it's important. I do. Do you really think of me as part of the family? Absolutely. Like I said, yeah, family. Yeah. I know things are messy with your father and all that. He certainly doesn't seem to be going anywhere. Maybe there's a way to change that. Well, it's quite obvious when you think about it. You could sell the house. These are bloody good specimens. I reckon. We need to go fishing sometime. Oh, as long as you don't fall off the boat. Yeah. (CHUCKLES) Night night, love. Night, Dad. Where's he sleeping? Um, with Nana Pat in the rumpus room. It's pretty weird, huh? I thought you might not come back. Oh, it was pretty cool up north, and Gaz's mate's got this place near the beach... with a garden and some chooks. (CHUCKLES) Really? Yeah, those girls run around the backyard, digging stuff up. We could have that... if we wanted. I thought you didn't like me any more. Well, I thought about it heaps while I was away, and it's not you or me; it's the situation we've got ourselves into. OK. And I like you. Well, of course I do. I love you. I love you too. But working all the time and worrying about money... Up north, the places are real cheap. We could flick our place and get something we could afford. You mean leave? Well, we could have a fresh start and get some little chickie babes. BOTH CHUCKLE You really want chickens? Yeah, for sure. They're wicked. Oh! (CHUCKLES) Mm. JUDGE: Mr Toogood, I understand that you wish to address the court. Yes, thank you. Your Honour, I've spoken with my client. She wishes to change her plea ` to guilty. No way. Christ on a bike. What? Are you completely sure about this? I am. WHISPERS: Mum, no. When did she decide this? Overnight thoughts, apparently. She called me this morning. I couldn't talk her out of it. Oh God. I have to act on my client's instructions, even if I don't agree. Well, thank you for trying. Hey, just doing my job. Hello, love. Mum. Why did you do that? I didn't want anyone else to be implicated. Apart from Trevor. I'm sorry about that, but... I had to contain the damage. So where are we at now? Changing your plea might win you a couple of brownie points, but it is pretty late in the day. There's grounds for pleas in mitigation, but we will be looking for restitution. Do you think they'll go after the house? We will argue that it is the family home. Good. You keep on that. I will. I should get moving. I might have a moment with Mum if that's all right. Sure. We'll talk soon. < Thanks, Andrew. DOOR CLOSES Dad didn't give them all the books. He left out Brisbane and the Rossinis. Oh, that's a relief. Mum, we need to find a truckload of money before the sentencing. I am prepared to do the time. You can't give up now. All I want is to save the house, make sure everyone's OK. And can you do something else for me, love? Like what? GENTLE MUSIC Excuse me. Are you Pastor Mike? That's me. Hi, I'm Kat. I'm` Donna's daughter. I saw you in court, and you look just like her. Uh, Janice, Cherie, this is, uh, Donna's kid. Oh, hi. Hello. How's she doing? Uh, actually, she's, um... She's pleaded guilty. Crumbs. Jeez, I thought that was gonna work out. She's asked me to tell you she's sorry that this is impacting on you. Oh, well, we've had a visit from the boys in blue. They've tried to hit us up, but good luck with that, eh? (CHUCKLES) What your mother's done for us is amazing. Well, I guess that stops now. Sorry. Well, please let Donna know our thoughts are with her. Will do. Thanks. Oh, you're not gonna stay for some soup? Country vegetable today ` quite tasty. Uh, I'm OK. Thank you. You know that, uh, Jesus was seen as a criminal in his day. Sorry? Well, you know, he wasn't some sad sack with a man bob that moped around doing nothing. He was an activist, a rebel ` like your mum. That didn't end too well for him. (LAUGHS) Well, I wouldn't say that. (CHUCKLES) Look, Mike, what you're doing here is really great, but I can't have my mother ending up as a martyr. If I have to choose between helping her and, well, helping strangers, then` Yeah, you'll do what you think is right. Yes. Yes, I will. 1 So, I've read it, and you're right. You get to decide everything. So that's fine, and I'm walking away. From what? The salon. You can have it. But I'll still pay for the lawyer for Miley and Rihanna. Sweetie, there's no need to be hasty here. > It's fine. Bianca, stop. I had a chat with your brother. You did? Yes, and perhaps I was being... unreasonable. Anyway, I was looking over the accounts for annoying Detective Turner. And there is a way that we could help Miley and Rihanna. There is? So, you haven't spoken to Immigration yet? No. That's good, because your lawyer will be able to show that you only worked part-time. But we didn't. But under your student visa, you're allowed to work 20 hours a week. Mm. (SPEAKS CHINESE) That's what we say happened. It's a lie. Just a teensy one. Look, I don't want you guys to get deported, and after we sort this, I'll try and get you proper visas. You would? And we're definitely gonna change your pay rate. Aren't we? Yes. Oh, we love you, Bianca. Thank you! Oh, I love you guys too. (GROANS) Having a little love fest, are we? Honestly, this is starting to feel like harassment. Just a necessary part of enquiries ` almost concluded. Well, about time. Actually, I need some more information from you. About what? Just trying to work out your mother's full financial picture. I believe she gave you $30,000. Uh, it was the deposit for my house. < I'll need to see the title on that property and any agreements to do with that money. It was a gift. Well, that's the thing about gifts ` sometimes you have to give them back. So they could seriously go after the money from my house? Yes, they could. Wow, that is shitty. They're gunning for Mum and her ill-gotten gains. (CHUCKLES) Bloody cops, eh? So me and Tane might have to sell our house? Let's just take this one step at a time, OK? I did have a thought about this. We could sell this place. Eh? This is our home. Well, technically you're still dead, so this is Mum's house. And if it helps` She doesn't wanna do that. Well, maybe it's not her choice this time. Hey, hey. Steady on there. If you sell this place, where would we go? We'd work that out. Mum's going to jail, and you're telling us we're gonna be homeless? Leo. Top work there, mate (!) It was just a suggestion. Here's an idea ` we pay you from the house, and you can go. < You get your half, and you can get on with your life. This is my life, Matt ` right here. Leo? Hey. Hey. You all right? I thought it was kind of cool to start off with. What was? Mum not paying taxes and being, like, an outlaw. (CHUCKLES) But then, you know, I thought she'd get off. Yeah, we all did. Will she go to jail for a long time? No. > Would it help her if we sold the house? I promised Mum the house won't get taken. And I'll be here for you. It's so weird Dad being back. Yeah, I know. But he's still our father. I'd trade him for Mum. Yeah. (CHUCKLES) > (CHUCKLES) Hey. I promise you I'll do my best to make sure she gets out, OK? Thanks. Come here. DELICATE PIANO MUSIC So, your father wouldn't take the offer? Nope. I was sure he'd go for it. He's digging in for the long haul. Or maybe he's genuine. No. He's playing the long game. So what do we need to do for your mother? You wanna help Donna? < Yeah, well, like you said, if we're family, we should be pulling together. Well, more than anything, we need cash ` enough to convince the cops she's making restitution. Right, so get a loan, raise a mortgage. I'm still waiting on settlement from Vicky. You still have a stake, so you could pull some money out of the business. That's true. And if your father won't move, then maybe you need to. I could look for somewhere. What about here? (LAUGHS) What's so funny? You really do move at the speed of light. I'm just being practical. And I know Oscar and Hayley would love it. It wouldn't be popular with everyone. < You mean your mother and your sister? Yeah. I know you care about them, but are you really going to spend your whole life worrying about what they think? It's time to take charge. It is about time. INTRIGUING MUSIC CELL PHONE RINGS Ms Rafferty. Nice to hear from you. Hey. Uh, remember how you said you wanted to help? Yeah. I'm looking at some flights for tomorrow. What, you wanna skip the country? More like a shopping trip ` to Brisbane. SUBDUED MUSIC HANDBRAKE CLICKS So, this is what you get from a life of organised crime. Well, doesn't look too dangerous. Let's hope not. Jackson, is it? Yeah. Yeah, did meet that one time. Yeah, yeah. Well, uh, nice of you guys to visit. You want some cannoli? < Uh, no, I'm good, thank you. Oh, come on. You've gotta try some of Mum's cannoli. < Don't mind if I do. Thank you. Cheers, Mum. Bit like your grandma, eh? Gets a bit sniffy if you don't eat her food. < Right. (CHUCKLES) So, anyway, how's your ma? < She's about to be sentenced, actually. Shit. She got found guilty? She pleaded guilty. But she kept her word. She didn't mention you at all. The police have no evidence of your involvement. That's good. It is. I like your mother. And I hope you're happy with the current placement of your funds ` Clay Gertz and the mall. Yeah, the` the deal I did when I was in NZ. The deal we did. Yeah. Well, we had our first dividend payment. We did. Actually, I was wondering if there might be any other way that we could work with your family. What were you thinking? Well, if you were looking to diversify your funds, if you had any more cash that you wanted invested, we might be able to assist. But your mother's in custody. For now. But I'm running things. And I think you know that you can trust me. Oh, darling, lovely to see you. You too. How's my little Oscar? He's good. I'm trying to get some money together for you. You don't have to do that. Mum, I've got to pay you back somehow. And we've got a bit of capital in the Hanky Panky accounts. I don't wanna touch that. Mum, you put me in charge. That is rainy-day money. Well, in case you hadn't noticed, the cyclone is here. I still don't wanna do it. I wanted to let you know I'm gonna be moving out of home. Dad's back. There's not enough room. He shouldn't be forcing you out. Well, I've had an offer. Where? Imogen's. You can't be serious. We've got closer recently. She's given me wonderful advice around Vicky, the business` Oh my God. The kids get along really well. She's got her hooks into you now? Mum, stop acting like I'm some kind of idiot. She is ruthless, self-serving` She wants to be part of the family. That is never gonna happen. It's already happened. You've been away; things have changed. Clearly. You need to learn to accept that. SOFT, BROODING MUSIC DOOR BUZZER RINGS SLOW, CURIOUS MUSIC You, uh, handled yourself pretty well today. Thank you. I appreciated your support. You wanna come in? Better not. Can't trust yourself? Fair enough. (CHUCKLES) (CHUCKLES) You are so full of it. Well, if the Rossinis go for it, I will be seeing you again. Yeah, I guess so. Hey, thank you. Pleasure. CELL PHONE VIBRATES, CHIMES Is that them? It is. (EXHALES HEAVILY) They're in. You really are your mother's daughter now. Look forward to doing business. I'll see you later. Drive safe. LOW, PENSIVE MUSIC 1 Hey. Hey. I tried to call you earlier. Yeah, sorry. Um, I was out of town for the day. You know the Crown's being aggressive about restitution? Yeah. It's a shame there were no offshore funds. Yeah. Actually, um, I've managed to raise some money. How much? 800 grand. How? I took a loan. Offering what for security? Look, the point is I've done it, OK? So you can make an offer to the Crown, get the sentence reduced, maybe even apply for home detention. How are you even gonna pay this back? I've got a strategy. > I thought we were moving forward ` no more secrets. It's just better if you don't know. And you just get to decide that, unilaterally? You're right. (SCOFFS) I can't do this any more, Andrew. You and me, it's not working. What's happened? I think we should break up. You're not serious. No, I am. I'm not accepting that. You can't do this, not now. Look, tell me what's going on. No, I can't. I don't believe that you don't love me. Tell me that you don't love me. I just think we're too different. I'm not going to accept that, not at all. We said that we would not` I slept with someone else! Who? < Someone. A guy. That's why you're doing this? You wanted me to be honest. This is me being honest. I'll call you about the money. SOFT, FORLORN MUSIC FORLORN GUITAR MUSIC (SIGHS) KEYS JANGLE LIGHTLY CAR ENGINE STARTS Andrew said something about you having raised some money. He didn't sound very happy about it. No, he wasn't. Well, where did you get the money? I went to see the Rossinis. What the hell were you thinking? I wanted to help you. The Rossinis don't give anything for nothing. They were happy with the Clay deal. They needed some more... business taken care of. You need to keep away from them. You didn't. You have a job, a career. Jackson has some businesses. I can work it through him. No. I won't let you do this. Well, it's too late. I've already made the deal. Sweetheart, no. If it gets you out, Mum, then it's more than worth it. We need you at home. Leo needs you. No, not like this. I'm only doing what you did. That was different. Really? Seems pretty damn similar to me. You were looking out for people; I'm looking out for you. I don't want you to. Listen to reason, Mum. This is just a means to an end. Katherine, you will do what I tell you. Call it off. Stop it now. No. I won't. Hey, gorgeous. Hey. I brought you some lunch. It's not sandwiches. (LAUGHS) Awesome. Look, I've been thinking about going away, and it's, like, really tempting. But...? I don't think I can do it ` not at the moment. Right. Well, it's just I sorted things for Miley and Rihanna, and I don't feel I can leave. And if Mum ends up in jail, then I wanna be around for her. Yeah, I get that. But if you wanna sell the house and move up north, you can totally do that. And if you don't want it, then there's no point. I should go. I've got` got a client. But there's no hard feelings either way. SOFT PIANO MUSIC This is cool, Dad. I know, matey. Hey, why don't you go see what Hayley's up to? She's out the back. Wow, you've really gone and done it. (SIGHS) It's strange. This is more like leaving home than the first time I left home. Well, put stuff anywhere you want. Oh, I don't have a lot. I don't care. Hey, you two. BOTH GIGGLE < HAYLEY: What's for dinner? Oh, how about tacos? Cool. My Dad's a really good cook. Your dad is a wonderful man all round. (CHUCKLES) SLOW, INTRIGUING MUSIC (CHUCKLES) What are you doing here, Dean? I wanted to see you... in person. Colour suits you. The way I see it, we got to a shitty bit of our marriage. We both made mistakes. Imogen was a mistake? Big mistake. Faking your own death ` that was just a mistake? I don't wanna be a shit, but the fact is no one's trying to convict me of either of those things. (SCOFFS) You're here to rub it in, are you? No, love. I just wanted to say that I'll hold the fort for ya. You what? You know, look after the house, the kids until you're out. You get to take over... my house, my children? The children are almost grown, apart from Leo. They're still my kids. Our kids,... eh? I` I do have rights. You walked away from them two bloody years ago. Look, I know you're angry with me, but,... you know, maybe with some time... we could start over. Hell will be a frosty winter wonderland before that happens. Well, I just thought I'd put it out there, that's all. Finally getting on to the bathroom. You what? I'm fixing it up. Well, I thought you'd be pleased. Arsehole! SMACK!

For real? For real. (CLAPS) Wanna watch rugby? Yeah, sure. See? He does care. (SCOFFS) Hi. Hi, all. Hey. How are you? < Uh,... I kinda need to talk to you. OK. I had a big think, all right, about... what was important. OK. And, like,... one day, we should definitely move. But not right now, eh. Oh, babe. Oh, I thought you were gonna dump me. Oh, no way.

It's fine. He was never gonna understand that things aren't black and white. And it's not like I can leave ` not while Dad's here. How is he? He's wearing everyone down.
