(ELECTRONIC MUSIC POUNDS, CAMERA SHUTTERS CLICK) (INDISTINCT CHATTER) (DANCE MUSIC POUNDS) You've really outdone yourself, darling. Well the Hathaway Foundation is such a good cause. Oh my goodness. We've been noticed. That was the idea. (SLOW ROCK MUSIC PLAYS) WOMAN: Hey Vader, it's me. Look, I just wanted to say... Guess it doesn't matter anymore. I'm sorry. Please don't... don't hate me. Bullshit she's sorry. (CHUCKLES) I can't believe Vannah planned all this blackmail and shit. Yeah. She always was a tough customer. Yeah. Babe. You've got to let it go. Have another drink. Maybe Lucy could keep you company. Babe! Hey, babe, can you take care of Vader for me? Sure. Come on. (EXHALES) Bring it. (SLOW ROCK MUSIC CONTINUES) (UNSETTLING PIANO MUSIC) Well, that's a dead rat, and that's a decomposing one. You're not enjoying the clear-out? What did these companies do to deserve this? Corporations end up with a lot of useless tat on their books. It's time to clear the fat out of this place, build up the muscle` Thank you, Eugene. I'm really here for TBH Housing. Small potatoes. I wanna turn it into something ` something that builds for the future. Oh, 'I have a dream,' and all that. Yeah. Yeah, I do. Good on you. Together, we'll make this company great again. So, tell me, how's Annabelle behaving? Good. Yeah, sweet. Um, actually, she wants me to attend some function. That Hathaway thing? Mm. Mm. Load of tosh. Heh. Off you go. Sure? Gotta keep the ladies happy. Now, that young poof, Ford Hathaway, he's loaded. Nancy. Ah! Brady. You look sensational. You know Ford Hathaway? Yes, of course. So great to see you here. I've got to represent for Granny and her foundation. God rest her frugal soul. (CHUCKLES) I didn't think you were going to make it. Well, I was invited two months ago, and as principal sponsor, it would be rude not to show. Of course. I must say this is brave of you. Why is that? You're the talk of the town, darling. Some people might want me to put my head in a sack, but screw them. Vile Vivian at 6 o'clock. What is she doing here? I have no idea. (WHISTLES) This is gonna be fun. (CHUCKLES) Your mother's here. Ooh, yay. Mummy dearest. I thought you hated her. Well, that wouldn't be Christian, would it? Ah! Hey, Mama. You look lovely. What brings you here? Official duties. I'm here to receive an award from the company. Ooh. Out with the old, in with the new. Exactly. Mm-mm. Ooh. Was it true you got rolled by Lloyd Maxwell? And friends. I didn't know he had any. You're not a fan? Lloyd and money, it's like watching a stray dog guarding a kebab. (SCOFFS) And he treated Annabelle's mother appallingly. You must tell me more. Let's meet up for lunch, dish the dirt. I would love to. (AGGRESSIVE ELECTRONIC MUSIC) It's so great you could be here. What is all this for? Well, the Hathaway Foundation was set up by Ford's grandmother to help needy women and children. With drinking and canapes. Our current campaign is 'no body shaming', about loving ourselves for who we are. Oh, is that why you have all the models (?) Some of them are plus-size. Like a 10? She does have a point. (CHUCKLES) Perhaps we can talk about this another time. Gorgeous, you made it. Hey. Hi. I probably shouldn't be seen having contact with you. Oh, it's good to see you, Nancy. Duty calls. You all have fun. Hey! Malo, the kingmaker. No, but seriously man, you really are the player. Oof. Oh, and a little something for my beloved. What? Thank you so much for coming. That isn't the official goody bag. And now just a moment where we acknowledge our foundation's principal sponsors. Hey, open it ` if you want. Our bronze award goes to G&S Finance. Oh... my... gosh. John. (LAUGHS) Don't you just love the way that she says, 'Oh my gosh'? Stop it. My darling, would you take this ring as a sign of my love and commitment to you? He is such a scene stealer. John, this is amazing. But how could you afford this? I moved heaven and earth for my love. And our silver award goes to Markville Investments. (APPLAUSE) For this year, our award for gold sponsor goes to Truebridge Hunt Corporation. (APPLAUSE) And to accept this award is... I'm here from Truebridge Hunt. What? (INDISTINCT CHATTER) I was invited to receive this, and I authorised the money. But you no longer work for the company. Get out of my way. You are tragic. You really are fake. It is my right to receive this. Ah! (ALL GASP) Oh! Boo-yah! (LAUGHS) Oh dear. Everyone's keen for gold. Bitch. (CAMERA SHUTTERS CLICK) Maybe cut your losses, best interest.

Just look after the girls, make sure they get home OK. I will. (UNSETTLING MUSIC) (PHONE RINGS) (TUTS) What is it? What's going on? I don't know. ...her family, so we just want to know OK? Vader. It's Vannah. How bad is it? Well, that was spectacular. Brady? You all right? Hmm? Brady, making a tit of herself. I'm not here to gloat, man. Yeah, neither. Onward and upward. Yeah. What`? What? Are you OK? Something terrible has happened. Savannah's fallen from a building. What?! I know. It's hard to take in. But the good thing is she's still alive. Look, I` I better go find the girls. Sorry, mate. (MENACING MUSIC) Copyright Able 2017 (MONITORS BEEP) (EERIE MUSIC) (RESPIRATOR HISSES) What was she even doing at that building? I don't know. We only found out just before I called you. What do you want? I just heard about Savannah. Your co-conspirator? I'm allowed to care. Did anyone say what happened? They're saying she fell. Or jumped from the Allerdyne Building around 10 this morning. Oh... Christ. You know, I was just talking to her, and she sounded really messed up about, uh, how she'd been treated ` by you. I had every right to be angry. I had no idea she felt so bad. Then why didn't you say something to us? You hated her. Why would I? Ah. I wish I'd taken her more seriously. Hi. I'm Kathy. You're relatives of Savannah Truebridge? We are. Yeah. Please, come with me. What's going on? You're not a relative. And you have no place in our lives. (UNSETTLING MUSIC) Well, that was a hoot. I felt sorry for Brady. No. It's not a party without a good old bitch fight. All that was missing was the jelly. John, this ring. I thought you liked it. It's beautiful, but your mother cut you off. Let's just say my mama has seen the error of her ways. Phase one of my emancipation. John, what did you do? I didn't do anything. OK, I` (SIGHS) I may have used a little certain piece of information that came to hand. You mean Joe's mother? It was too good not to use. You blackmailed Vivian? No. No. I merely pointed out what was in her interest... and what was in mine. And what about Joe? (WATER RUNS) (SPITS) Hold the phone. No, he has the right to know that his mother's still alive. Uh, this is the guy who broke your heart, remember? And joined that axis of evil. It isn't right. Ariana, come on. Please, you can save me here ` if you just believe in me for... 48 hours, and I will be John Jr, loser no more. Please, come on, just` just give me this one chance. Please. OK. Yes. You are, uh, my sexy saviour. (CHUCKLES) (JARRING MUSIC) (FOOTSTEPS FALL) (MONITOR BEEPS, RESPIRATOR HISSES) Oh my God. She's not giving up on us. She can't. * (SIGHS) Your poor sister. I know. I feel so bad. This place is nice. Mm. Well, Hunter wants his place back, and I've taken the lease. Perhaps it's time we got separate places to live. If you want. You weren't upset about Ariana getting engaged? It's none of my business. Really? Unless we have to go on pretending ` for Daddy? What if we didn't pretend? What if we made a go of it? You wanna do that? Well, I think it's worth talking about. Even though you think I'm horrible? You're not a bad person. (LAUGHS) Just bowling me over with the compliments (!) No, look, I` I mean, if we're gonna do it, if we're gonna have a baby and be a family, we should do it properly. I'd like that. We need to be kinder to each other. We do. Life is short, and... we need to make the most of it. Wanna make a baby? Yeah. Yeah? VANNAH ON VOICEMAIL: Hey, Vader, it's me. Look, I just wanted to say... Guess it doesn't matter anymore. I'm sorry. Please don't... don't hate me. I should have seen this coming. Don't be ridiculous. No one could've known. It sounds like she's saying goodbye. You shouldn't jump to conclusions. Probably not the best choice of words. The situation is unchanged. Savannah's gonna be kept in an induced coma to help her recovery. Is she gonna be OK? She's done well to get this far. Look, I suggest you go home, get some rest. I'll make sure you're informed if anything changes. (UNSETTLING MUSIC) You are tragic. You are fake. It is my right to receive this. Ah! (CROWD GASP) (LAUGHTER) Arseholes. Don't look at it, OK? They're just stupid trolls. Yeah, screw them. Mum! That was mine! Yeah, well, soon we'll have nothing, so you better get used to it. (DARK, BROODING MUSIC) Do you think she's losing it? Well, she's got a lot to deal with. You should get to school. (BROODING MUSIC CONTINUES) (RINGBACK BURRS) WOMAN: Vader. Hi. I need to ask you something. Uh, heh. That's funny. Um, I need to tell you something too. It's about Savannah. 'Course it is. She's in hospital, in a bad way. Oh my God. What happened? That's what I'm trying to work out. You told me you saw Fisher coming on to her, then he arranged to meet her? Yeah. Did he say where? Uh, I just heard him arranging to meet someone, and he said he might be away. You sure it was Savannah? I saw it on his phone. But this other thing I need to tell you` I` I have to go. Have to go. Wait. Where were you yesterday? Uh, something... came up. If it happens again, don't bother coming back. Is that clear? Yes. We need coffee in the boardroom. Now. OK. (ENGINE REVS) (ROCK MUSIC) (MUSIC CONTINUES) As a result of the fall, Savannah is still in critical condition. Ooh, I'm surprised she didn't find some handy pole to twirl herself to safety. This ain't funny. I agree. She could die. If Savannah were to pass away, what would happen to her shares? Are you seriously thinking about that right now? Well, someone's got to be practical. Yeah, I'll look into it. No, no, we should be making sure Savannah's getting the best care, not acting as though she's already bloody dead. Should we move on? Yes. Now, Fisher, dead weight needs to be taken off the books. Preliminary thoughts. Uh, Enviro Plastics. We didn't talk about this. So? I know the place. We haven't discussed this at all. We're talking about it now. You can crunch the numbers; that's what you're here for. Morning, campers! Reporting for duty. What's he doing here? I'm joining the company. Condition of the major shareholders. Yeah. It wasn't just my idea. Why wasn't I made aware of this? Well, as CEO, you can interview me right now if you want. So, running shit ` check; social media ` double check; managing team morale ` checkity-mother-flipping-check all over that ish, Fish-man. Ooh. So, I'm thinking 200K starting bracket, plus car, club memberships... Uh, that is an outrageous sum for someone with no obvious qualifications. I once had sex with an elf from Lord of the Rings. That's your recommendation? Well, surely that makes me kind of immortal. Yeah, let's wrap this up, shall we? Yeah, no, good idea. Uh, so in my new role as head of Truebridge Hunt Research... and Development, I'm gonna be looking for new openings, innovating businesses. Fine. You can start here. I can? Yeah. Summarise the status of those companies ` profit, loss, who deserves to die. Seriously? I'll be expecting a full report. Is that, like, in writing? OK. You're the boss. Hey. (CHUCKLES) (POUNDING, TENSE MUSIC) * (UNEASY MUSIC) (PANTS) You have a visitor. I don't want visitors. Too late. Wassup, wassup? Did you have fun last night? Are you just here to make yourself popular? No. Hey, um, I don't want you to be angry at me, but... I kinda, sorta got myself a job in the company. I knew I couldn't trust you. Well, hold on. I mean, I could be ideally placed there. What are you talking about? Revenge. You and me, Brady. We Kill Bill the shit out of this. That's your business model? Well, I hate my mother; so do you. Don't you want to get her back? Here. These little suckers. Great. They're all on death row, apparently. Although I don't really know why. And you want me to work it out for you. Please. Not in the mood. Come on, you're all about the business. Not anymore. But` Brady, I did this for you. (LAUGHS) No. You did this for yourself, as usual. (EXHALES) Fine. Well, I am just gonna, (WHISTLES) leave this with you, just in case you change your mind. I won't. (GRUNTS) OK. (PANTS) (BEEPING) (INDISTINCT CHATTER) Yeah, bro. Do this every time. Cool? I just thought it would be good to catch up, you know. I was just, um, passing through, so... Oh, yeah? In those wheels? Yeah. I wouldn't mind a new car like that, eh. D'you wanna buy me one? Bro, I` Joking! Funny guy, eh? Nah, we have been talking about how we should hit you up, though, eh, our new Palagi relative. (CHUCKLES) Bro, shut up. Come on, bro, you're still my little brother. Yeah. How's things here? Yeah. Ah. There's always rumours ` being shifted to China or Korea. But, hey, as long as it pays the mortgage. Yeah. Hey, what's going on with you? I mean, Mum's real bent out of shape about where you're headed. Me? Nah, I'm all good, man. I'm fine. Breaking up with Ariana, not coming to church. You hardly even see the olds any more. Hey, why don't you come round to Mum's tonight, eh? Make some peace. It's Jake's birthday. What, he's 6 already? 7, bro. I thought you were the numbers guy. Yes. Sorry, man. Yeah, yeah, 7, that's right. Hey, look, I know it was real shit finding out you were adopted. But we still care about you. And Mum, she cares heaps. Mm. Her favourite little baby. (RAP MUSIC BLARES) Any news about Vannah? No. Thanks for setting this up. Look, I don't want to get in any trouble. It's on me. # I am so high, # we can touch the sky. # Hey, guys. Respect, you know ` about your sister. I just wanted to know how you guys came to be at that building. It's important, all right? We were on a job to take care of something. Like what? (RAP MUSIC BLARES) Fisher. He was there? We didn't see anyone. If we had, we would've messed him up. Who told you to do that? (SIGHS) (FOREBODING MUSIC) What do you want, dickhead? Savannah. I heard she had a fall. I heard you sent your boys down there. After Fisher. They should fucking learn to keep their mouths shut. Why were you after him? He did this. He jumped me, whacked the crap out of me. Fisher did? That's what I said, didn't I? Savannah said it was him, told me where to find him. By the time the boys had gotten there, she was... You need to tell the cops. I don't need to do shit. But if he pushed her, you'd let him get away with that? I'll think about it. Savannah could die. (PHONE RINGS) You should take that. And like I said, I'll think about it. (PHONE RINGS) Hey, Gillian, what's up? I need to see you, Zac. Yeah, now's not the best time. I'm in Auckland. Cherry came and saw me. She told me everything, Zac. Hello, darling. How's the job going? All over it. Mm! Must be nice having money again. (CHUCKLES) Might not buy love, but it helps. But I already have so much love. Take it from me ` money is more reliable. You know, actually, I'm glad you brought that up, cos I've been thinking, and I'd like my trust fund to be mine, no strings. I don't see why. Or maybe we need a mediator. What about Joe? Don't... push it. But it's burning me up, seeing Joe, not being able to tell him that his new partner was the one who put him in the bin when he was just a little baby. Don't pretend you give a toss. Oh, but I do. Hey, howdy, 'orse. (DING!) See, I'd feel much less inclined to tell him if you'd pay over my trust fund, OK? So just think about it. You stole his identity? Well, to start with it was just a mistake. They thought I was Garth. He was in hospital and you needed money. That's all the more reason why you should have told me. I didn't know how. You lied to me, Zac. Sorry. All I wanted was to help. What are you gonna do now? I need to think it over. I have this friend, Garth's sister, she's in hospital, in a really bad way. I'm sorry, what's that got to do with`? There's no one else to take care of her, so please, don't tell anyone what I did. Not yet. I need to think about what's best for Garth. Fine. Get back to me. (BROODING MUSIC) Brady, you have another visitor. Mr Turncoat. Good old Nancy. Leaves no thought unexpressed. What do you want, Fisher? I've been asked to make an approach to buy your shares. Was that your idea? Mm, it's been generally agreed by the company management. Still not your company. I am aware there is emotional baggage, but after last night's performance, surely it would just be better for everyone if you made a clean break and moved on. You can just piss off! Don't you even wanna here what we're offering? I know loyalty is a foreign concept to you, but I owe it to John's memory. So you can tell your masters that I am not desperate, I am not beaten, and I will never, ever sell. You will. Eventually. (PHONE RINGS) Ed? I'm free. (SCOFFS, LAUGHS) Yeah, I know. I know. It's hilarious. Prick. (GRUNTS) (DARK MUSIC) (DOOR SHUTS) * Flowers from Annabelle Maxwell. 'Our best wishes for Savannah. Deepest sympathy at this difficult time.' As if. And... Ford Hathaway. What does he want? 'Still keen to do lunch and talk plans.' Fisher, I assume, wasn't a social call. Here to play corporate hatchet man. They want me to sell out. And you said? There'll be black frost in hell before they get that satisfaction. That's more like it, darling. What the fuck?! Get out of here! I'm allowed to be here. Jesus! Don't push me! Like you pushed Savannah?! I know you wanted to see Savannah, not the other way round. I know what you did to Snake. Who told you that? Security! Get out now! You wanna watch that temper, mate. Get the fuck out! Hey! Out! Hey! Let's just calm things down here all right? He just went off at me. He is not allowed in here, OK? Ever. I am so,... so sorry about that. I just wanted to see her, to... to say goodbye in case she doesn't... (CHUCKLES) Is she gonna die? We don't know. Were you close? I love her. She loved me. Her family don't want me around so... (CHUCKLES) At times like these, (SIGHS) people are stressed. They say things they don't mean. Yeah, I guess so. Kathy. Fisher. Nice to meet you. I'm glad she's in such safe hands. (CHUCKLES) (MONITORS BEEP, RESPIRATOR HISSES) I know you didn't jump. I know you wouldn't. Go. Go. Good girl. Kere. Good work, good work. Keep it up. Oh. Awesome work, awesome work. Hey, Tina, could you please grab all those bibs, pop them away nicely? Yeah, miss. You keep practising those passes, all right? Yep. Gosh, I thought you finished at 3. I had netball practice. You're so dedicated. That's my job. It must be so fulfilling. Why are you here? I thought about what you said, about the Hathaway Foundation. You don't have to listen to me. I know we haven't been on stellar terms, but I'd like to fix that. OK. And perhaps you'd like to join our committee. Why? You know real needy women and children. And... I'd really like us to get over the past and be friends. (GIGGLES) I mean, you're marrying John now. And Joe and I, we're trying for a baby. You are? It's early days, but I'm hopeful. (CHUCKLES) And please, say yes to joining the committee. The anaconda wants to be your new best friend? Be afraid. I do not want to be on her stupid committee. You should. Why? Because those bitches change the world ` one lunch at a time. And when I get my cash, I'm gonna make a personal donation. You mean through blackmail? (GROANS) It's on my conscience. Fine. Call him. Tell Joe how much you love him. John, you're being mean. If you love him more than me, I wouldn't want this to be on your conscience. I do love you. Correct answer. Mm! (INHALES DEEPLY) (UNEASY MUSIC) Savannah told Snake where she was meeting Fisher, so he sent some of his boys down there to do him over, but they were too late. But did they actually see him push her? No, but don't you see? Savannah wanted to stop Fisher. We can go to the cops. No, we need evidence. I know that, Brady. Do you think I'm some kind of dumb arse? No. Snake knows what happened. Look, if what you say is true about Fisher, this could be good for all of us. But we have to be sure. What the fuck? Cool it, mate. Arsehole. Maybe you and me got off on the wrong foot. You mean when you beat the crap out of me? The way I see it, we both have similar interests. Both like a direct approach. I know all about you, your beautiful wife and three little kids, right? That sounds like a threat. (WHIMPERS) Not very smart, given your current situation, is it? (LAUGHS) Come on, Snake. Let's say you hold a grudge; where's it gonna get ya? At the end of the day you're gonna leave here with nothing. Or... we could come to some kind of arrangement, both end up winners. You got balls, I'll give you that. The question is ` are you gonna be a liability or an asset? What kind of arrangement are we talking? Let's just say that there are times when I might need a man of your... abilities. Heh. Keep talking. (DARK JAZZ MUSIC) Haere Mai. Welcome. Caffeine? Let's just get down to it. Right on. This is a list of subsidiaries that need to be shut down or sold off. Mm! Great. Oh, this is fantastic. You know, I didn't think you would do this. I had reason to change my mind. Me? No. Huh. Whatever works. So, what's the go with these? Those are acquisitions that Lloyd wants to get shot of. And why would they be acquired in the first place? Because there was an upside advantage. Or we wanted to close off someone else's access. Shit. You really do know everything. If I knew everything, I wouldn't have ended up here. But you will get them back. I'm considering my options. And present the list in order, especially Delaney Transport. OK, so that's a dog. Not exactly. Especially at the right price. Huh. Oh. I see! Somebody could get a bargain. They could ` if they were quick and discreet. Well, maybe I could help. What with? That chip on your shoulder? My trust fund, duh, which has been withheld from me, but... not any more. How much? Multimil. Jesus. Didn't even know Vivian held on to that much. Well she did. And now we're gonna pay her back. If someone found out, you'd lose your new job. But they won't ` because we will be very extra clever. Come on. Subterfuge. Huh? It'll be fun. Yeah, yeah, sounds good. OK. I'll be there at 6. Look forward to seeing you too. Love you. Hot date, is it? Uh, (CHUCKLES) I'm going over to my parents. Ta, thank you. It's my nephew's birthday, so... good chance to mend some bridges. Mm. Well, I do have a lot to do, but... could I come? I totally understand if you don't want me to meet your family, but if we really are making a go of things... Yeah. Yeah, why not? Ooh! (GIGGLES) Oh my God! What do I bring? Um, it's just, like, a family dinner. I know, but this is so exciting. And what to wear? Smart casual. Hmm? Uh, yeah. (FOOTSTEPS RECEDE) (ENGINE REVS) When you said kicking tyres, this isn't quite what I was expecting. (SOFT, EERIE MUSIC) Why am I hear, Brady? What do you want? I need an ally... and an investor. John used to say, 'In tough times, go back to the basics ` bread, toilet paper.' Trucks? Freight. It never goes out of fashion, and it is just the start. (UNEASY MUSIC) Can I help you? I'm Brady Truebridge, looking for Declan Delaney. He's not here at the moment. Why not? My Dad's sick. I'm Brooke. I'm running things. Perhaps you can get your father to give me a call. He's got early-onset Alzheimer's, so no. That's unfortunate. Look, Mrs Truebridge, when your company took us over, you said you'd invest. And you have done diddly-shit. That's frank. Look, I'm sorry you're angry. We don't hear from you in how long? I'm no longer with the company. Then what are you doing here? I understand your business will soon be for sale. Oh God. Dad'll be gutted. I know it's upsetting. But if you really are in charge and you'd like to stay in business, perhaps you'd like to show me around. (SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC) (TENSE MUSIC) OK. King-size, snack-size, bite-size. Hey, morena, bro! No, no, no. Talofa. That's the one. Hey, what's going on? John is presenting a report. Yeah, preliminary results. John Jr's top picks for death row. Why is he doing this report? Uh, cos 'he' volunteered. Keen as mustard, mate. Gee, this guy. So, um, strike one ` Delaney Transport. I'm talking immediate flush. Why is that? Fisher, I believe the technical term is 'down the gurgler', and I've listed the rest in order of priority. Mm. You're maybe not as useless as you've been painted. What can I say? I'm a quick study. Enviro Plastics is still on the list. And why is that important? It's a big employer in South Auckland. I do feel sorry for the poor, brown people (!) But if they couldn't get better jobs, how is that our problem? Look, my brother works there, OK` What a shame (!) This is no time to be sentimental. Now, any new fun picks for the board? It's not a party guest list. You're... You're on the Board of Directors. And you have a problem with that? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, I actually do. One, you're racist; two, you're fucking ignorant; and three, you don't really give a shit about anyone who isn't rich or white. I sold you my company. So what? You think I owe you? I don't owe you shit, lady. Sorry, guys. I can't do it. I can't be on the same board table as her. Hey. So, you're leaving? That's what it looks like. Or maybe we could head down and see the cops. Fuck that. You said you'd think about it. And I did, and fuck that. What about Savannah? She's just some slut I used to bang. You arsehole. (ALL GRUNT, BLOWS LAND) (GROANS) You got anything else you wanna say? (GROANS) Hmm? I didn't think so. Thank you, Brooke. That was educational. No worries. I'll be in touch. Thanks. I'm loving the eye candy. Settle. The company is sound and undervalued. It would be a sin not to take advantage. You know, I never thought of you as a trucking queen. What about you? Should I be offended by that (?) So, you're gonna just stick the knife into Lloyd Maxwell. Up to the hilt. I'm gonna tear down those bastards that took my company, ruin their lives and take back everything I am owed, and more. This game is so not over. Everybody loves a comeback. What about you, Ford? Are you in? I think we should talk about this over oysters. My shout. (ENGINE TURNS) * Hey. Are you OK? Oh, it's nothing. Hey, I'm really sorry I told Gillian about you. Was she really angry? Yep. Look, this thing about Savannah and Fisher ` you said you saw something on his phone. I saw he made a call. Was there anything else, any messages, texts? I didn't get a chance to look. I just` I need something to establish a connection that he was there. What about her phone? It's missing. I could... I could maybe get Fisher's phone. You could get it? If it would help. Oh, it's the only lead I've got. (BIRDS TWITTER) Yeah, yeah, don't be nervous. It's all good. (CHUCKLES) You're making me nervous. Joe! Hey, Mum. Hi! Hey. Oh! Mwah! Hello, son. Hi. Um, Mum, this is Annabelle. Hello. I hope it's OK, me tagging along. I` I really wanted to meet you. Wow. Thank you. And where's the birthday boy? Jakey! Jake. He's adorable. Yeah, he's cute, eh. Hey, come meet my family. Uh, is there anything I can do to help? No. No, we're fine. Thank you. (CHILDREN GIGGLE) (SIGHS) Oh man. It's been a while. It has been too long, son. I've missed you. I missed you. Happy birthday. ...completely ripped me off! This is absolutely outrageous. I have every right to be on that board. You promised me this company was mine. It started with my money, and I have been completely ripped off. (SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC) I printed off the business` I didn't ask for anything. (TENSE MUSIC) You promised me a position. Under the company's rules, one of the bastard's has to have a seat. Oh! I don't have a choice. After all these years of being sidelined. Vivian, you're a magnificent, intelligent woman. You must see that we need to play this strategically. (MOTOR WHIRRS) Oh! (LAUGHS) You lucky boy. That is a very generous gift. Who doesn't want to be spoiled on their birthday? Yeah. So, how long have you and Joe been seeing one another? Months. (CHUCKLES) We're actually kind of living together. Oh. This was so scrummy. Did you make it all yourself? Sorry, excuse me. Can I help? It's all right. So cute. She's pretty hot, your girlfriend. (CHUCKLES) Oh, she's all right, eh? OK. (LAUGHS) Hey, bro, um... Look I` I heard something, and I think it might be, like, a good time to look around for another job. How do you know this? Truebridge Hunt, they own the factory. You're gonna shut us down. No, no. Not me personally. So when you just happened to call in, you already knew this? Bro, all I'm trying to do is help you guys out. Bro, you come here with your fancy presents, hey, your fancy girlfriend to tell me I'm gonna lose my fucking job? How's that supposed to help? Hey! Oi. What's going on? Joe's just about to leave. Why? Yeah, sweet. All right. I'll see you guys later. Was it me? Was it something that I said? No, no, it's not you. It's not you. I hope there are no hard feelings. Perfectly clear what I have to do. Fisher. Someone's very chummy with the master of the universe. Lloyd has certain charms. Oh, yes, millions of them. I can see the appeal. Oh, and your approval is so important to me (!) How's it coming with releasing my trust funds? It's not. Well, what's the holdup? I've thought about it, and the answer is no. I'm sorry, uh, but did I not make the repercussions clear enough? Joe? His mummy? I won't be blackmailed. (BELL DINGS) Uh, you can't do this. Too late. Please let go of the doors. Oh, you are messing with the wrong guy. Let go. Oh, yeah, that's enough fun and games for one day. (SIGHS) (SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC) You sure have got a nerve, girl. If you were looking for an easy way out of this, I'm not gonna make it easy for you. I'm gonna do everything in my power to make sure you live. (ALARM BEEPS LOUDLY) Excuse me. What is it? What's going on? She's seizing. Please wait outside. Is she gonna be OK? Lorazepam. 1mg. Please, wait outside. * (FOREBODING MUSIC) I'm on my way now. I'll meet you outside. (PANTS SOFTLY) (KEYS JANGLE) (PANTS) Where are you going? I was just trying to find a way out. I'm totally geographically challenged. Give it back to me. What?! My phone. You took it. I want it back. No, I` I don't think so. I just have mine. See? (PHONE RINGS) For fuck's sake, give it to me. Oh, I must have picked it up by accident. Why would you take this phone? It was a mistake. Are you gonna get that? (CHUCKLES) I'm trying to work out why you'd take it from me. (PANTS) Uh... (ALARM CHIRPS) Maybe we need to go for a little drive and talk about it. Fisher, it really was a mix-up. You see, I don't believe you. Hey! Leave her alone. (CHUCKLES) Look who's here. Get away from her. Or what? What, tough guy? (GUFFAWS) You fucking moron. (GRUNTS) Agh! You really shouldn't have done that. Come on. Let's get out of here. I tried. I really did. It's OK. Thank God you came. I'll drop you home, OK? Don't answer the door. Make sure you keep it locked. Hi. Hey. I was just dropping these off. I didn't mean to interrupt. No, no, no, that's OK. I just, um, needed some guidance, you know? With what? You know the place where Reuben works? Truebridge Hunt wants to shut it down. For real? And, I was trying to make up things with my family, but that all turned to shit. Sorry. There must be something you can do. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, just checking in with the big guy... to see if he had any suggestions. You, uh` You set a date for your wedding? Not yet. And congratulations to you too. On what? I hear you're trying for a baby. Far, Annabelle. She told you? Mm, she wants to be friends, apparently. She means well. I know. And I know you can make things up with your mum and dad. Well, they're the only parents I'll ever have, so I hope so. (POIGNANT MUSIC) I bet she cared about you, your birth mother. It's not like we can ask her, you know. Well, I believe it. And... I still care about you. It's nice to see you. You too. Not telling him that his mother's alive ` it's wrong and I can't stand by and let it happen anymore. Where the hell did this come from? I went to church. Ah, that place is a font of fire and brimstone. John, I'm serious. And... I don't think I can marry you when you would do something like this, something so personal and so important, for money. You're right. I am? Mm-hm. We need to tell Joe... as soon as possible. What about your trust funds? I no longer care. Really (?) Yeah. You've been absolutely right about everything. (PHONE RINGS) We need to tell Joe, everything. Howdy, bro? So, what's so important that we have to meet? Come for coffee tomorrow and bring your lovely lady. I'll make it worth your while. Nah, I'm all good. Oh, come on, man. Wasn't this the whole reason we got on this journey ` to find out about your birth mama? What about my birth mother? Well, come on over and you'll find out. Texted him hours ago. (ROCK MUSIC PLAYS) Savannah had a seizure, but she's stabilised and they're weaning her off the drugs. She's gonna wake up? It could be hours, apparently. Right. Snake won't go to the cops. Well, that's hardly surprising, given his history. And I know he's a shit, but I thought he might do the right thing for once in his life. Well, there is one person who knows exactly what happened on that balcony. Yeah. Do you wanna get some bad food? Sure. There's no more news, but we're hoping she'll come round in the next few hours. Uh, that` that's great to hear. Thanks, Kathy. I'm sorry I didn't pick up before. Oh. It's fine. I know you're busy. Have a good one. Yeah. You too. (MENACING MUSIC) (SINISTER MUSIC) Hey, we can just take the day off, and we'll have an amazing time. And I love that you're 16 now. And I love you. Happy birthday, darling! You remembered. How could I not, with all the hints? And you are the most lovely baby ` mm ` I never had. Too much? No. (LAUGHS) I love you, Nancy. You're so caring. Well, you did supply a list. Oh, did I get the wrong brand? No. I just knew that Mum would forget. Oh, don't be silly darling. She's just got a lot going on. I know. I shouldn't be mean about her other daughter. Especially when she's so munted. Wake up, soldier. Is she awake? She's with us ` breathing, unassisted. There's a problem? We hope not. You said she was awake. She's still pretty groggy. (MONITOR BEEPS) Hey, Vannah. They reckon you're doing great. Brady's here too. She squeezed my hand. It was a squeeze. A real one. Vannah. Vannah, can you hear me? (GASPS SOFTLY) Vannah. Hi. I... (GASPS) I` I can't move. (GASPS) It's all right, Savannah. Don't try and speak. Savannah, I need to ask you some stuff, OK, and you can just nod, but I need to know. Vader. This can wait. You didn't jump, did you? (GROANS, PANTS) Honey, you've had an accident. You're gonna be all right. (GASPS) I need you to try and remember. I'm sorry. She needs to rest. You need to give her some time, OK? Come on. I... (GASPS) We'll be right back, OK? Don't you worry. (GROANS) Come on. (MONITOR BEEPS) (EXHALES AUDIBLY) (BREATHES HEAVILY) (ENGINE RUMBLES, RAP MUSIC BLARES) Oi. Little girl. (SMOOCHES) Give us a kiss. (LAUGHS) (RAP MUSIC BLARES) (PANTS) (MUNCHES) Mmm, these are damn good. Hey, stop it. I just wish Vivian could be here so she can see what happens when she screws me. But obviously, most of all, I cannot wait to see the look on little Joey's face when he finds out, aw, your birth mum is still alive. And living in Hawaii. (KNOCK AT DOOR) You look so sexy when you're working. Thank you. I'll take that. (CHUCKLES) Are you ready for this meet? Yeah, see what happens. Joe. I know you and I have had some problems. Sorry, I don't have time for this. You hate me because I'm a racist, on account of your past. I'm not gonna deny that. And I might have made some mistakes. But there's someone that I would like you to meet. (INTRIGUING MUSIC) Joe, this is Malia, your mother. Oh, my boy. My beautiful boy. You can have a couple of minutes. Thank you, Kathy. I am so grateful for this. Well, don't tire her out and be careful of the drips. Of course. I'll leave you to catch up. (UNSETTLING MUSIC) Hello, Savannah. Still with us? (UNSETTLING MUSIC CONTINUES) You really are a medical... miracle.
