I'm listening. There's something I need you to take care of. He is so happy when we're together. He's a psychopath. He's happy when he gets what he wants. You pay what's owed, or you pay the consequences. Whoa, that's my car. Joe! Joe, no! Isn't it great that we can put our differences aside on a special day like today?

Copyright Able 2017 (UNSETTLED MUSIC) John. Are you OK? Uh... I-I can't... I can't be here. (DRAMATIC MUSIC) You poor darling. And to think we were just here for his christening. Yeah. Hey, sorry, man. Thanks, man. Is that the cop? Yes. Still don't know who did it? No. (TENSE MUSIC) What's that bastard doing here? Vader, no. Vader. I'll take this. Hey. I'm just paying my respects. Got no right after what you did. Vader. The fire, then this? It's no coincidence. You are delusional, mate. You're an arsehole. Back at you, shithead. Toni walked in front of you. And he hates you, right? Stop this. What if you were the target? Leave this alone, all right? Get on with the job you're doing, and leave this to the cops. Nah, but you` I just want everyone to be safe. Yeah, OK. I'll see you later. (UNEASY MUSIC) We'll be up to get him in a couple of days. Honestly, there's no rush. We'll see you soon, eh? Poor them. But lucky us. (CAR STARTS) I mean, we get to spend time with this scrummy boy. Are you OK, my darling? He's been amazing. Lloyd would like to come and visit. Yeah, maybe in a couple of days or something. I know you've got a lot to deal with, but it is rather important. Kennedy. Kennedy, stop being ridiculous. I'm getting the bus. I could give you a lift. I don't want one. All right. I get that you are angry with me, but this whole performance` I'm not angry. I just wanna be at my dad's. And our place is so terrible? Nancy's great and everything, but I've got this little brother and sister now, and they like me. We can do all this family stuff. How lovely (!) No, it's cool. We even play board games. You could visit and do that. But it's like they're this real family, and Megan, she's home a lot. She cooks dinner most nights, and she even bakes. I can bake. But you don't, Mum, and I'm not saying that there's anything bad with that. (SIGHS) I'm just getting to know my dad, and I'm actually happy for the first time in ages. Can you just give me some space? Please? We've got the nanny coming tomorrow. Yeah? What for? The baby nanny. It's what everyone does. (CHUCKLES) Nah, not where I'm from. Well, she'll show me how to do things, cos I wanna be good at this. Hey, take Daniel. (UNSETTLING MUSIC) What do you want? Whoa, whoa, whoa. No aggro this time. We still have a little business outstanding ` little matter of a non-payment. Nah, mate, I got nothing to say to you. Truebridge Hunt ` you know what that rhymes with? Please, mate, piss off, or I'll call the cops. You're in the same business as me, Joe. Nah. No, I'm not. Fun Friday Finance, Mates' Rates Cash ` they're all part of your company. Leave him alone. We've just been to a funeral. My condolences. Nah, you don't mean that. I'm no animal, but you go around beating people up, you're bound to make enemies. Get away from my family. You still owe me, Joe. If you haven't got the message yet, you've been warned. (TENSE MUSIC) (CAR DOORS CLOSE) (SNIFFS) (EXHALES) (ROCK MUSIC PLAYS) Why did you leave like that? Why is there no whisky when I need it? Probably because you drunk it all. I was looking at her coffin,... and I realised something. I killed Toni. What?! I didn't pull the trigger, but the chain of events... You know, I mean, I put her in the line of fire. John` If she'd never met me, she'd have never met Joe, and if she'd never met Joe, then she wouldn't be dead. You said you didn't know about that. Yeah, well, I lied, OK? I introduced them. I set the whole thing up. What? Yeah. Yeah, I wanted something over Joe, and it was Toni. Why are you telling me this now? Because it's the truth, Ariana. (EXHALES) Everything I touch just turns to shit. I need a drink. John. (DOOR OPENS) (DOOR CLOSES) (DOOR CLOSES) He's sleeping. Ah. It's good when they do that. Uh, take a seat. How are you holding up, Joe? I'm` Yeah, I'm good. Do you always go to funerals? It's a mark of respect. In case anyone suspicious turns up. There is that. But... Toni seems to have no one with a grievance against her ` no enemies. Unless she wasn't the target. Um, I had a run-in with someone. You didn't mention that before. Yeah, I didn't think that he would go this far, but, um, there's this dodgy finance guy ` Jason Rennet, Upfront Finance. And? He's just making threats. He was here just before, and he is such a creep. Like, I... I understand that it's probably out there. We're grateful for any information that could lead to an arrest. Cool. (LOUD ROCK MUSIC PLAYS) (EXHALES) A word. (SIGHS) You screwed it ` totally cocked it up. I didn't do anything. SCOFFS: You got the wrong person. Take another shot, and get it right. What`? Are you on P? Try anything now and the link will be obvious. This does not come back on me, or we are done. Calm your shit here. There's nothing to tell. (ROCK MUSIC) (VIDEO GAME PLAYS) Hello? Oh, hey, man. Is your mum home? Yeah. Brooke? BROOKE: Vader! Far out. What are you doing, pervert? Get out, man. Go on, piss off! (VIDEO GAME CONTINUES PLAYING) Hey, you had any tea? Should we go get some? Let's go. All plugged in. We'll get burgers, K? Cool. What are you doing? Taking Cash to my place. No, you can't do that` Hey, hey, he's hungry, and you're pissed and on with that shit-for-brains. Want him to see that? You have no right to do this! You shouldn't be in charge of him right now, OK? So call the cops if you want. You wanker. (CAR DOOR OPENS) (CLAPPING, CHUCKLING) Oh my goodness. Vader has a friend to sleep over ` such a cutie. Great (!) VADER: Argh! Do you really have eight bathrooms? Yeah. Are you really that dirty? CHUCKLES: That is an excellent question. Eat your burger. (CELL PHONE RINGS) No. Hey. (ROCK MUSIC PLAYS) Did you get my text? Uh, yeah, I was just reading it now. Fisher was with Snake. He was angry. I didn't totally get it, but it was kind of weird... I have to go. I love you too, Mum. Rox? You're meant to be working, not gasbagging. It was just my mum. She has to get the dog put down. Sick? Just old. We have a punter, wants some attention ` rich bastard. Right. (LOUD ROCK MUSIC PLAYS) Hello again. What brings you here? Just visiting the scene of one of my crimes. Well, I do like a naughty boy. Ahhh. You have no idea. Roxy said it. Snake wanted to have another shot. It was you that they were after. Yeah, it's logical, but... Christ, that poor girl. Would Roxy talk to the cops about what she knows? No. I couldn't ask her to do that. I mean, if Snake found out... Anyway, it's hardly conclusive. I could ask Fisher, see what I could draw out. No. We need proof of the connection here. It's too risky. I'll look after it. How? You can get anything if you're prepared to pay for it. Like what? The evidence we need to nail him. (LOW, INTRIGUING MUSIC) 2 TV: The funeral for Toni Van Asch was held today. Daddy. How are you? No arrests in the shooting have been made so far. A spokesperson for the family` Lloyd, Annabelle is speaking to you. Not bad. Hey, boy,... I wish I could have been there for you today. Hey, nah, it's OK` No, no, no. I've been close to death myself, and... (EMOTIONALLY) in one so young, it's... Daddy, are you crying? Lloyd's just vulnerable, that's all. It's... just been life-changing, that's all ` (CLEARS THROAT) staring death in the eye and death staring back. Your father's been through a lot. And you, girlie. What about me? Perhaps I've been... too hard on you sometimes. You're not so bad. I love you too, Daddy. There ` I said it. Well done. And you, Joe,... you're like the son I never had. I've never been able to step away from the truck, but... but it's now time to delegate it to a younger hand, a stronger hand. I'm making you chair of the board. (GASPS) That's amazing. I` No, you can do this, lad, with my blessing. It's your ship to run. You take it where you want. Thank you. I will. (WARM MUSIC) (CHUCKLES) Cash said he would never go to sleep, and he was out in minutes. (SIGHS) Why's he here? I didn't feel good about leaving him. His mum wasn't in a great space. And she was with a guy ` her ex. Ouch. So why are you looking after her son? It just kinda reminded me of when I was a kid. My mum used to have guys over sometimes. I had to stay out of the way, pretend I wasn't there. I didn't know that about you. Mum was great... most of the time. What happened to her? A car accident ` hit and run. How old were you? 13. And then I went to live with Jill. She was Mum's friend. That was cool, apart from smoking too much weed, getting expelled. (BOTH LAUGH) You must have been quite the dude. Oh, I was a dick. But I was happy. Do you miss it, being on the Coast? There's compensations. I'm glad you're still here. Being at the funeral, I thought about... you know. I'm glad I'm here too. (CHUCKLES DRILY) Now I'm being the dick. Fair enough. It's been a big day. I still think Fisher had something to do with it. You should, um,... get some rest. You've gotta play Daddy in the morning. Oh, I dunno about that. (GROANS) He's lucky to have you. (WARM MUSIC) Night. Night. (SIGHS) (UNEASY MUSIC) (LOUD ROCK MUSIC PLAYS) Come on. We have to go. Come on! (GRUNTS) It's time to go, mate. Well, you're gonna have to make me,... shithead. (CHUCKLES) If that's how you wanna play it. (GRUNTS) (GRUNTS) Well, nothing is gonna make me feel worse than I do now, so... (GRUNTING) Oh! (GROANS) Fucking fruitcake. (PLAYERS SHOUT) (WHISTLE TRILLS) (PLAYERS CONTINUE SHOUTING) Well, fancy seeing you here. Your PA said you had a meeting here. You stalking me as well as your daughter? I have the right to speak to her. And since you haven't been returning my calls... I just gotta deal with this, OK? You, uh... Spoken to the lawyer ` Kennedy's 16, so she can decide which parent she wants to live with. You're not even on the birth certificate. We can do a DNA test. But do you really wanna make it more difficult for her? You care so much after all this time (!) Well, from what I hear, B, you ain't exactly been attentive. That is a lie. You know what? I'm glad she wasn't with you the other day. What are you talking about? That christening, where that lady got shot. That had nothing to do with me. Anyway,... Kennedy is happy where she is. So that's it ` discussion over? Well, you can hardly drag her back by the hair, unless you want her to hate you more than she already does. You're being a prick. (CELL PHONE RINGS) You should get that. I got a meeting. (RINGING CONTINUES) (SIGHS) Brady Truebridge. Yeah, I'm managing director of Delaney Transport. (EXHALES) How's Cash? At school. He's got lunch. Thanks. Look, last night was just a stupid thing that happened, OK? You don't have to tell me. I know; it's not like we're in an actual relationship. Well, that's good, isn't it? Especially if you're back screwing your arsehole ex. Look, I'm going through some bad shit with my dad, and Bronco knows my dad, and you don't. WHISPERS: Great, this is just what I need (!) What's going on with your dad? I just had a call from the insurance company. Is there a problem? You could say that. JOE: Hey, thank you, Lucinda, for listening. I'm glad you brought this to me. Any meetings with the Housing Minster, I should be involved. Well, it was about something else. Joe wants her help. Look, it's these loan companies, right, where there's no limit on interest, on penalties. It's a free market. Which we're a part of. (CHUCKLES) Only in a good way. Fun Friday Finance, Mates' Rates Cash ` Truebridge Hunt has a stake in both of them. We have a lot of interests. But these companies, they prey on the weak, the vulnerable. It's more like robbery than finance. There's harassments, threats. Speaking from personal experience? Yeah. Yeah, I am. And as acting chair, I would like to take a stand. Acting chair? While Lloyd's convalescing. You should definitely follow it up, especially after Toni. Already am. You don't really think that bullet was meant for Joe, do you? (POURS DRINK) Who knows? But that girl didn't deserve it. Does anyone? I'd make an exception for some people. Like who? What about your stepfather? Sure, I hated Karl, but it caused a whole lot of suffering to people who didn't deserve it, like my mum. Things play out in ways you don't expect. (TENSE MUSIC) Are you all right? (SCOFFS) I'm not great, actually. You know that you can tell me anything ` anything at all. God knows I know what it's like to feel guilty. She just makes me so... angry. Who does? (FOOTSTEPS APPROACH) Savannah! Savannah. Hey, hey, hey, bro. What's going on? I need to talk to you. God. You're drunk. Whoa. I'm fucked up in a thousand ways, but` but you have to forgive me. It's fine. No, no, no, it's not fine, because th` they, in the club... I-I... Oh God, this is crazy. Just` You are a mess, mate. You gotta go. (STAMMERS) Joe, Joe... Bro, come on, don't. Don't do this here, man. She can't have died for nothing. It has to mean something. Hey, come on. Come on, you need to go. Come on, John. You need to go, John! Calm down. Calm down! You'll get another smack. Jesus. Just go! Excuse me, guys. (GRUNTS) Psycho loser. (SOBS) Wow. He's totally lost it. Don't you have work to do? That insurance thing ` what's going on? Brooke didn't pay the premium, so we have no insurance. Whoa. Yeah, it's what I always thought. She's not up to it. Hold on. It's her dad's company. Well, if she can't run it... It's not her fault the place got firebombed. Are you blaming me for this? She's not the reason this happened. Fisher did it. Why aren't you gunning for him? There's this little thing called proof. Well, find it. Do you think I'm not trying? How would I know? But you don't have to take this out on her. Because she's your girlfriend? No, because shit happens in people's lives, and you, with your eight bathrooms, you don't get that. This is about bathrooms? Some people don't even have one. Thank you for the life lesson (!) Look, you should just give her a chance, OK? If you're so bloody concerned, perhaps you should deal with it. Present me with a solution. I'm not in charge. Fine. Then she's gone, and good riddance. (CAR STARTS, ENGINE RUMBLES) (UNSETTLED MUSIC) 3 (BOWL CLATTERS) What are you doing? Baking. Not you too. I'm making a sugar-free thingy, though I am questioning the fun in it. Shut the front door. Juicy? Kennedy's news feed. She's out with some guy called Denver James at some product launch. Why is this so terrible, exactly? Well, she's supposed to be at home with her little siblings, playing board games, not posing for publicity. I'm sure the novelty will wear off eventually, but... he does look quite scrummy. (TAPPING) It was so much fun. They had these amazing goodie bags. Hey, can I talk to you? Sure. Hey! You're avoiding me. I'm not. Well, I've hardly seen you since you moved into your dad's place. I've just been busy. Yeah, with Denver James. He's one of Dad's clients, OK? You were holding hands together. (SCOFFS) It doesn't mean anything. I love you. I thought you loved me. Can you not do this here? It's embarrassing. Well, where am I meant to do it? I'll text you, OK? (POIGNANT MUSIC) Your brother's here. Thank you. I'll leave you to it. Hey, what's up? I had a visit from that finance guy, Jason. (SIGHS) What did he do this time? Nothing, nothing. Nah, it's all sorted. Yeah, said we'll make a deal on the money; that'll be the end of it... if you back off. Well, you called the cops on him, right? No, I didn't say anything that wasn't true. Look, bro, we can make this all go away, and I can pay you back when I can. This is bigger than you and me now. How? You think that we're the only people that they're ripping off? So? No, it's not right. Shit, bro. Why do you always have to make things so difficult? Yo, you're the one who got me into this. Yeah, OK. See, but now we can make this all go away. Sharks like Jason need to be put out of business. So, no, no deal. (SIGHS) (LOW, SOMBRE MUSIC) Patricia's looking into our friend Fisher ` his connections with Snake. OK. Fisher owns the building. He's got the lease on the club. Whoa. You didn't know? No, but that must be good, right? It's at one remove. It's through a company owned by his wife. Where's her money from? She was a Gusterton before she married. They made a fortune in tallow and slaughtering. Ugh. How appropriate. So how do we move forward? If you're right, then Fisher must have got Snake to organise the hit. It's not the first time Snake's done it. That's not on his rap sheet. Rumours about him taking out a guy in Tokoroa. That's not gonna cut it with the cops, but they are looking into a car that was seen near the church. How do you know this? Contacts ` it's what you pay me for. Fisher's feeling guilty... in his own way. I could get him to open up, maybe. No. Is it the worst idea? I could rark him up, see what he does. You're to stay away from him. She wouldn't have to ` not physically. There's other ways to listen in these days. I'm up for it. What other choice do we have? (SIGHS) How's the boy? Stoked he got to stay at your flash house. He can't believe you've got so many bathrooms. Well, they are pretty dirty over there. Look, I know I'm not always the best mum. You do OK. Sometimes I just wanna be young and having fun. With Bronco. My dad got out of the house again. He was found wandering. So... the doctors are saying that he either has to live with me or he has to go into care. OK. If I'm working, then I can't look after him,... but we need money to survive, and if I have to pay for care... Though if Brady gives me the boot, then I will be home with no money. Hey, it's OK. I just... I feel so out of my depth sometimes, so alone. You're not. Don't be nice to me. What, you want me to be a dickwad like your ex? No. I'm here. OK? If you can get your shit together, we can sort this. You'd do that? Hey, I like my job. And you're the hottest boss I've ever had. Do you wanna run through it one more time? I'm all good. You have a visitor. Not now. I tried to stop her, but I'm afraid there could be damage. Kennedy? No, no. Go well. Be safe. I will. It's a teenager's room, so you may not see the difference. That's enough! Told ya. What is going on? Kennedy is being such a cow. She's avoiding me, and she's blocked me on Facebook. Well, what did you do to her? I don't know! I might have said she was an evil ho-bag, but... It's like ever since she moved to her dad's place, she's just, like, obsessed with being normal. (SIGHS) You poor thing. I didn't even think you liked me. Of course I do. You can tell me anything. TEARFULLY: I thought that she loved me, but now she's just hanging out with Denver James all the time. Oh, it's probably nothing. She's getting almost naked with him. What?! Look. You told me she'd blocked you. It's an ad in a magazine. And it's gone viral. (TENSE MUSIC) (SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC) I'm glad you could get away. My wife has an art group. They're busy discussing whether rhododendrons are a good investment. Brady is looking into you. She's got Patricia on the case. What's she got? She knows that you own a building with your wife. Maybe we should multitask. This is serious, Fisher. So I own some property. So what? She knows that Snake has done a hit before. How? He's got a past; people know that. Hmm. There's still no proof. The cops are trying to trace a vehicle. What if it's someone who knows Snake? And Snake knows you. You hate Brady. What are you saying? I just want you to be careful, that's all. I will. (LOUD ROCK MUSIC PLAYS) SLURS: Whatever I've done, whenever I've done it , it's never bothered me ` never,... but now, now it's like there's an animal inside me, and it's disgusting. HESITANTLY: You're just going through a rough patch. How`? H-How do I get rid of it? Another drink, maybe. And Toni` Did I`? Did I mention Toni? Once or twice (!) How...? How do I make up for that? Look, you didn't actually pick up gun and shoot her. Wow, look who's back for more. Oh. 'Sup, Rox? Just talking shit with my friend. Yeah. Watch your mouth, all right? Ah! (GROANS, LAUGHS) Whoa. He is one scary mother. (CHUCKLES) Yeah. Sometimes. (WATER RUNS) (SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC) My wife says she wants a McCahon. Cos he's famous? Probably cos it'll match the decor. You really are a bad girl. How? Playing double agent like this. I can handle Brady. You should get back to your wife. Yeah, totally ` see how much she's spent on rhododendrons. (SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC CONTINUES) (MUSIC INTENSIFIES) (CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS) (CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS) (CELL PHONE VIBRATES) (CELL PHONE BEEPS) He's such a good boy. And he's smiling now. That's great. And this is all his stuff? I think so. We'll pick him up in a couple of days, yeah? Janine and me, we've had a talk about this. We want to keep him. No, you can't just decide that. No, you can't. You weren't really with our daughter, so legally, you're not a guardian. What, you've seen a lawyer about this? We don't have our daughter, but we do have Daniel, and we want to adopt him. Whoa, no, no, no. I won't let you take him like that. What did you ever do for my daughter, eh? You weren't with her; she was all on her own. No, she wasn't. She had her whole life ahead of her, and then she met you. Look, I understand you're grieving, and I'm truly sorry for that,... but you're not taking him. Right. You'll be hearing from our lawyer. (DOOR OPENS, CLOSES) Oh my God. That was out there. It's OK. We're gonna fight this. We'll fight it. (LOW, PENSIVE MUSIC) Anything to report? Not yet, but Fisher's on the move. (SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC) (LINE RINGS) PHONE: This is Ariki. Leave me a message. If it's urgent, text or send me an email. (VOICEMAIL BEEPS) How is this caring for your daughter ` posing in her underwear like some airhead slut? I demand an explanation. All good? Of course. Have we got something? Fisher's at the office. FISHER ON LAPTOP: About time. SNAKE ON LAPTOP: Why here? Cos I needed to talk to you privately. I heard something about your previous experience... as a hitman. Who said that? (CHUCKLES DRILY) The point is ` I am in a position of responsibility here, and if a car registered to anyone who knows you was anywhere near that church, then it will look bad. SOFTLY: I'll take care of it. How? I thought this was nothing to do with you. (SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC CONTINUES) What do you think? It won't hold up in court. But he met with Snake. It's enough for the cops to take an interest ` maybe. Thanks. All right, I'll leave you to it. Night. Night. (SIGHS) You did well. It's not over until it's over. 5 What is it? You wanted an explanation. Yeah, about what you're doing to my daughter. She's fine. While she's getting her kit off in public? Hold on. The brand sponsor Denver's team. They made an approach; she said yes. It's entirely tasteful. No, you're pimping her out. I'm not making her do anything. She got paid. You're using her to get publicity for your client, to sell a fucking brand! Don't be a hypocrite, B. I'm not! It's not like you wouldn't sell out your own grandmother. Oh, bullshit. Or anyone else. So this is revenge, is it? You hate me for what I did, and now you wanna pay me back. Well, you don't use my daughter to do it! I don't hate you, B. (FOOTSTEPS RECEDE) No, I totally understand why you came up here. It's... Ariana's looking for John Jr, who's missing. He was upset, irrational. He hasn't been home. I'm worried he's having some kind of breakdown. I haven't seen him since yesterday. How was he? Not great. Well, if you hear of anything... Of course. Thank you. Wow, she really does love him. If John Jr really is dead, is it the end of the world? That cop is here. Fisher Brankovich? Hi. I'm Detective Sergeant Randwick. We have a few questions for you in connection with the Toni Van Asch inquiry. Really? If you could spare some time to come to the station. (CHUCKLES DRILY) Do I need a lawyer? That depends on what you want to tell us. I'll be as helpful as I can,... obviously. VOICES ECHO: John, are you OK? I-If she'd never met me, she wouldn't be dead. It's time to go, mate. But you have to forgive me. No, it's fine. No, no, no, no, it's not fine. It has to mean something. You need help. Fucking fruitcake. Everything I touch just turns to shit, (ECHOES) shit, shit... What are you doing, you fucking idiot? (DRAMATIC CHORAL MUSIC) (VEHICLE ENGINE RUMBLES LOUDLY) ARIANA: John, are you OK? ECHOES: John? Cos you have a child of your own, yeah? Yeah. Hello, darling. This is Becky, our lovely nanny, who'll be helping me. Hi. Hi, how's it? How did you go with the lawyers? Uh, yeah, good, good. They think we got a strong case. We're young, and we're good people, and we can give him a much better home. I'll show you to his room. OK. Cos I need you to show me how to do everything. (SIGHS) Now,... you know you have our full support, but Lloyd is a bit upset about this thing with the board ` the finance companies. Do you think you could just drop it? Why? Because Lloyd knows the directors of the companies. He went to school with one of them. What, so you want me to just give up? Lloyd isn't meant to be getting stressed. And you're finally getting ahead. (KNOCK AT DOOR) I'll get it. Darling, this is not the time to be picking fights. These people are here to see you. (DOOR SHUTS) Joe Tamatoa? Yeah. I'm afraid you're under arrest for assault. (SCOFFS) It's alleged you assaulted Emmanuel Gearson on the evening of the 29th. (SCOFFS) He was taking my property. He was. I-I was there. Yeah. You still need to come with us, sir. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you do say can be used against you in a court of law. (HANDCUFFS RATTLE) (EXHALES) Vivian, I know you're out of the country, but I'm so worried about John. It's OK. He's here. God! I've been so worried! You said 'God'. Don't mock me. Where have you been? (SIGHS) I just... I wanted it to be over, so... But then, I... I saw her. (CHUCKLES) Who? An angel. And she said` She said to me` She` She told me that Toni forgives me, that I'm forgiven. John, do we need to get you to a doctor? Nah. No, I'm great. I'm great. Don't... Don't you see? Baby,... I've been saved. (UNSETTLED MUSIC) (CHUCKLES) (LIFT BELL DINGS) (LIFT DOOR OPENS) I'm there. I'm gonna step up. How exactly do you plan to do that? Well, I know the trucks and the maintenance shit. We'll split responsibilities so she can concentrate on the office stuff. (CELL PHONE CHIMES) Look, Brooke's been through a lot of shit, but once her dad's sorted... I mean, he's been in a bad way. Right. (CELL PHONE CHIMES) (UNSETTLED MUSIC CONTINUES) Are you listening to me... at all? Of course, and I applaud your efforts. Are you being sarcastic? Here's a rule of business. When you get a yes, don't turn it into a no. What, so Brooke's OK? I said that, didn't I? Sweet. You won't regret this. They've got him ` the killer. What are you talking about? REPORTER: A 19-year-old gang prospect has confessed to the shooting of 26-year-old mother Toni Van Asch. The alleged killer will appear in court on charges of murder. No. This can't be for real. (UNSETTLED MUSIC) (CELL PHONE CHIMES) (UNSETTLED MUSIC CONTINUES) I just heard. The cops ` they got someone. Some gang idiot trying to prove himself. Well, that's good for you. I had nothing to do with this. So what did the cops wanna know? My connection with Snake, the club,... something about a gang murder in Tokoroa,... whether I hated Brady. That's a given. Says who? Not me, obviously. Brady shopped me to the cops,... but who knew about Tokoroa? (TENSE MUSIC) I don't know. (CHUCKLES DRILY) Anyway, Snake is taking care of the leak. What do you mean? That girl from the club ` what's her name? Roxy. I've no idea. Anyway,... (SHUTS DRAWER) case closed. (CHUCKLES) (POP MUSIC PLAYS) Rox. Babe. (GASPS) Oh my God. Snake thinks I talked to the cops. I know that you didn't, OK? That's OK. I can cover it with make-up. No, never say that. That's what my mum used to say. Look, Snake was just stressed. Fisher was on his case, and he didn't wanna lose his business. God, Rox, this isn't OK. (INHALES SHARPLY) I think I may have broken a rib. No, you didn't break it; he did. He will fucking pay for this. You can't take on Snake. You can't. No. It's someone else I need to kill. You're joking, eh? (CHUCKLES) Yeah, totally. (SIGHS) I'm gonna go get some more ice.
