You don't even love me enough to put up a fight. Ariana does not get to walk away from me ` not unless I say so. That thing we had? We still got it. Saying that I should have stayed with Denver so he wouldn't rape their friend. Denver is the sweetest, kindest guy. What if I bought it ` Delaney Transport? JOE: Annabelle's got cancer. And I didn't wanna say anything in front of Annabelle, but... I'm pregnant. OK, this port is a once-in-a-lifetime` It's off the table, Fisher. Just make it look random, like a home invasion or an accident. 4 inches. After an entire lifetime of money and power, Lloyd Maxwell's obituary is a measly 4 inches. About as big as he was. (CHUCKLES) No need to speak ill of the dead, Ma. (CHUCKLES) So, where are you off to? Oh, you know me ` plans, schemes. Well, as long as it doesn't include the little slut. Let's just say Lloyd's passing has offered up some golden opportunities. Have you seen the Truebridge Hunt share price? Rock bottom. I didn't realise the market would miss Lloyd so much. Well, no one likes instability. That is good news for us. So when are you gonna deliver the kill shot? The wheels are in motion. We just need to make sure we have enough shareholder support. Can you get it? I plan to. (KNOCK AT DOOR) Hey, company guy. Just wanted to wish you good luck. Oh, shoot me now. I feel like a dick. No, you look businesslike. I got an offer drawn up ` lawyers and all that. Go you. If Brady goes for it. It's like going to see the headmistress. OK. Imagine that I'm her. Pitch it to me. Come on ` don't have all day! (LAUGHS) That is so spooky. Have a little faith in yourself. You've got this. I don't know why I'm so nervous. It means a lot to you. I know that. (CHUCKLES) (POIGNANT MUSIC) So pitch it to me, like you mean it. Thank you. You have mail. Thanks, Nancy. Well, who knows you're here? I don't know. Come on ` open it. Who's it from? My lord, what is that? (SIGHS) My engagement ring. But you're over with John. Mm, I know. Do not accept gifts from him ` anything from him. I just` I wanna see. Fine. But do not say I didn't warn you. Hey. What's going on? Hi. Ariana is receiving dangerous goods from John. Oh my gosh. (TENSE MUSIC) (CHUCKLES) MOCKINGLY: Marry me. Be mine. How romantic. It's not! Do not give in to him. Do not take him back. I wasn't planning to. You know what John is like ` evil, manipulative. He is toying with her. It's definitely surprising. John usually has quite a short attention span. See you, guys. Don't even think about it. We've lost not just a friend, but... an outstanding business person ` the figurehead of this company. Joe. Hey. Joe, on behalf of the board, I'd like to offer my condolences to you and Annabelle. Yeah, thank you. How's she holding up? Um,... uh, she's been better. Anyway, where are we? Well, under the constitution, until we know the contents of the will, all of Lloyd's shares fall under the control of the board. So with that in mind, I would like to just cancel the purchase of the South Island farms. Yeah, I think that's a good idea. I'd like to put the port buy-in back on the agenda. Definitely worth considering. Oh, and in the interests of stability, I'd like to propose that I be appointed as executive chair of this board. (CLAPS SLOWLY) Ah... Ooh, Fisherman,... you dirty old angler. Gosh, things have really fallen into place for you, haven't they, mate? Are you finished? Cos we're running the company. Oh,... I can wait. Oh my God, Denver, this is beautiful. Like you. Oh, you're so cheesy. (LAUGHS) Hey, I just wanted to thank you for standing up for me. The least I could have done. (CHUCKLES). And if you wanted to... be my girlfriend,... (LAUGHS) Double cheese. Maybe we could go up to my room and talk about this. (CHUCKLES) Hey. Good meeting, Fishcakes? Get out of my chair. Yes. Someone needs to work on their people skills. I've got work to do, John. Well,... as you know, I own 21% of this company. Mm. I hadn't forgotten. And I just wanted to get your take on the general shareholders' meeting. What? Oh, you didn't get invited. Probably cos you don't own any shares. What's this about, John? Well, someone has expressed concern about Lloyd's very sad demise and a lack of confidence in current management. Brady. This someone... has also urged shareholders to consider selling... Oh, for God's sake. ...to Reid Larson, yeah. Better start looking for a new job, buddy. No, not me. She's the one going down. Fighting talk. I like it. Well, if you had enough support,... What, from you? I could,... if there was something pretty on the table. You've already got your job back. A seat on the board. (LAUGHS) That is not gonna happen. OK, well,... (KNOCKS ON DESK) that's the thing about being king of the castle, eh? Always someone looking to chop you down. Smell you later. Close the door. (FOOTSTEPS RECEDE) Hi there. Hey, Frank, how's it going? Good. We're just about to read Daddy's will. Watch it, actually. Like everything else, Lloyd wanted to do it his way. Well,... if you're watching this, then I guess I've gone to the big farm in the sky. My lawyers can go through the proper paperwork afterwards, but I'm not paying them bloody good money to have them read this ` bloody ticket clippers. Right, let us begin. I leave... 75% of all that I own ` my businesses, my investments, my farms ` to my son, in utero, Lloyd Angus Maxwell III. Goodness. The other 25%... will go to my daughter, Annabelle, when she manages to produce me a grandson. If she has girls, or fails to produce within five years of my death, then the money will go to fund a genetic-research institute, as outlined. Until my son comes of age, my wife, Malia, will administer my estate. She will be looked after until her death. I leave bequests to my farm manager, my chiropractor and my school rowing team, and, Annabelle, you can keep your mother's jewellery. Right-oh, carry on. Oh my God. I had no idea he was going to do this. (SOBS) Annabelle` I promise you, I had no idea. Yeah, I know. I know. Thank you for sharing that with us. No problem. Copyright Able 2017 WHISPERS: You are so sexy. (CHUCKLES) You are. ARIKI: Kennedy? Kennedy, you home? Shit! Just` Just pretend we're not here. What? Kennedy? Yeah, hold on. Hi, Dad. Hey. What you doing home? Um, study period. What's going on? What? Nothing. Hey. Dad. Oh, 'sup, Rick? You got 10 seconds to get out of my house. Dad, we were just` Five. We weren't doing anything wrong. Get out. You're sleeping with him? So what? It's not like it's illegal. I'm 16. I know that. And it's not like I haven't done it before! Look, I just don't want you to see Denver again. But, Dad, you're the one who set us up. I bloody did not! Yes, you did, and you really like him. I think you should get to school. What's the big problem with me seeing Denver? Cos I just want you to be safe, that's all! From Denver? (SIGHS) This conversation is over. Get back to school. But Dad` Now. (TENSE MUSIC) Hey, beautiful. John, I'm busy. Did you get my present? I meant every word. You kicked me out. Well, I was hurt. I thought you were on with Joe, but... I already told you that I wasn't. I love you, Ariana. And I want you back. I have to go. Well, did I mention I am willing to fly your entire family to Samoa for the wedding? That is crazy. That is how much I love you. It's a waste of money. But you'd consider it? I'm actually in a meeting with other year eight science teachers. Are they worshiping you, like I do? Actually, they feel sorry for me, because I don't have enough lab equipment and only three computers. See? That is what I love about you ` you're always putting everybody else first. But somebody needs to put you first, Ariana. John, is there anything else you could be doing? (CELL PHONE CHIMES) Yeah, but you are still my number-one priority. So, yeah, I think it's a fair offer, given the market, and I've had a lawyer look over everything. (CELL PHONE CHIMES) Um,... Are you listening? It's good. I can tell you've put a lot of work into this. But... I'm concerned about how much debt you're taking on. The bank's cool with it. What are you offering as collateral? The company and my shares. Thought as much. So...? If you default on your payments` Which I won't. If you do, the bank will take them. And they're not really yours to lose, are they, Zac? (TENSE MUSIC) Are you threatening me? No, I'm not. But I have already decided to exchange Delaney Transport for a chunk of Reid Larson. What about Brooke and her dad? I admire what you're trying to do. But I will make sure there is an easy transition for everyone who works there. You mean they're down the road. Brooke will be fine. Bullshit! 2 (TENSE MUSIC) How is Annabelle? She's locked herself in the bathroom. I am so sorry. Don't. Annabelle, I promise I will look after you. How very kind of you (!) You don't have to worry about your medical bills, and, of course, I will continue your allowance. Because you're sorry for your poor relation? No. Now you get everything,... and I get nothing. That's not what I meant. Hey, Annabelle. Just leave me alone! I just can't believe her dad would do this to her. Well, all we can do now is make the best of this. And now you're safe ` your business, your housing project ` Lloyd can't take anything away from you. There are positives to this. You'll see. Brooke? (ROCK MUSIC PLAYS ON RADIO) What are you doing here? Brooke had to go pick up Cash from school. He was feeling crook. So I'm holding down the fort. Well, I'm here now, so you can piss off. I should be mad at you, bro. You've come here and taken everything I've ever cared about. And that's my fault? Oh, you've even got Cash calling you 'Dad'. Nah` Yeah, he did. And, man, I wanted to smack your face. But... you've actually been a good bastard. So... I've been seeing these people about my drinking, and they said I need to apologise to you ` for being a dick. Look,... I know you think I'm a piece of shit, mate, but I'm sorry... for being a dick. (SIGHS) So are we good? Yeah, we're good. I'll leave you to it, eh? (FOOTSTEPS RECEDE) (CICADAS CHITTER) Are you OK? Did you get into much shit with Rick? What's up with you and my dad? I dunno. He was fine with us being together before, but now he's not. Hmm,... you know what dads are like. He said he wanted me to be safe. From what? From you. Well, that's stupid. What did you do with that girl? I told you ` we fooled around. You slept with her? Yeah. She was pissed. And so were you. Yeah. Can we not talk about this? Did you force her? What? No. She was into it, and then she... She what? What happened? Tell me. Well, she kinda got weird on it, and... then she passed out. Oh my God. Told my dad about this? Kind of. Look, I know it sounds messed up, but it didn't mean anything. Babe` Don't touch me. I made a mistake, but I care about you. Don't touch me, I said! I just need to hold firm. The port deal will put me back on top. As long as you can survive the shareholders' meeting. I've got Joe, Annabelle with him, then I'm lucky enough to have you. Yeah. And I guess if I do the deal with John Jr, that'll leave Brady's corner looking pretty skinny. Sorry to interrupt. No, don't be. Look, I just wanted to say how sorry I am about Lloyd. Please take as much time as you need. That's very kind,... though I don't think I'll be coming back to work. I have some news about Lloyd's shares I think you'll find... interesting. John. I admire the way you managed to get a major stake in your father's company. (EXHALES) I know. And I love it when you suck up. It's about being practical. There is no point in owning 21% of nothing. What about Fisher's big plans? Oh, you hate him as much as I do. But he can get me a place on the board. (LAUGHS) If he promised you that, he is lying. Well, me might. Sure. Right after he comes over here and braids my hair (!) (SNORTS) Well, unfortunately, my hands are tied ` promise to my mother. It's not like you haven't broken one before. Yes, Ford, but this one's legally binding. I will not... support... Brady. There has to be a way around it. OK, well, if a senior exec position opens up ` say, general manager. Are you drunk? You do not get to take me for granted any more. And you are pushing your luck here! Brady, perhaps you could give us a minute. He's all yours. I will get my company back, and you don't wanna get on my wrong side when I do. (EXHALES) Lordy, that woman needs some happy pills... or an orgasm... stat. You will support her at the shareholders' meeting. (CHORTLES) What, are you gonna make me? Ariana was really touched by your gift this morning. And there is plenty more where that came from. I wonder how she would feel if she knew about your... (CLICKS TONGUE) fondness for cock. Would she still want you back? (TENSE MUSIC) Support Brady, or... lose Ariana. CHILDREN: Whoa! That's so cool! Hey, what's going on here? They're for you, Miss. (LAID-BACK MUSIC) CHILDREN: Whoa! We got computers! Just call me when you get this. Annabelle! Where have you been? I was worried about you. I was getting my mother's things. It's not fair that Malia gets everything. Look, she won't, OK? I know she's your mother, but... Daddy only knew her for, like, two minutes. (SOBS) Look, Malia doesn't mean you any harm. I knew he didn't like me very much, but I didn't think he hated me this much. No, he didn't. He left everything he had to a foetus. Hey, let's just... let's concentrate on your treatment, OK? The one that's gonna make sure that I can never have a baby? Don't let Lloyd get to you. Don't give him that power, OK? Yes, yeah, what he did was wrong. But he doesn't rule the world any more. You're so right. I'm gonna challenge the will. (SNIFFLES) What, you're`? What? Are`? I'm gonna get back what's mine, and Daddy can burn in hell. No, Annabelle, you don't need to worry about that right now. I have to! Look, maybe Malia will compromise. As if. She's not a bad person. BROOKE: Hey. How's Cash? He's got a bit of a temperature, but he perked up as soon as I got him home. Sweet. I didn't get the company. Brady didn't go for it ` said she had other plans. Yeah, I know. Brady called me when I was with Cash. And she's offered me a position with a company ` Reid Larson. Oh, she is such a piece of work. No, it was nice, her calling me. She just wanted to make sure that I was OK with everything. You said yes? (SIGHS) It could be good. It's more money, less responsibility, paid leave. Yeah, fantastic (!) Why are you getting angry at me? I'm not angry. I'm just... I know how hard you worked to try and buy this company for me. For us. I'm so grateful. But this could work out, for me and for Cash. Well, that's the main thing, eh? Kennedy? Hi. Hey, the kids wanna know if you wanna come into the pool. I'm not really in the mood. Are you OK? I feel like such an idiot. What's happened? Denver. (SNIFFLES) He did it ` he raped that girl, and he doesn't seem to think he did anything wrong, but he did. Oh, sweetie. And Dad knew. Kennedy. Why didn't he make Denver go to the police? Well,... your dad, he's in a tough position. He has to look after his clients. But if he knew about this... Well, these young players, they've got a lot of pressure on them. Girls are throwing themselves at them. You put a bit of alcohol in the mix, it's all... It's still wrong. Denver made a mistake. He won't do it again. You knew about this as well. He's a talented guy with a whole career ahead of him. And what about the girl that he raped? What about her life? Do you think that throwing him in prison now is gonna make it better for anybody? You can't just cover things up. I know this is upsetting,... but you don't have to see Denver again. You move on. OK? End of story. (SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC) Lloyd left Malia everything? He left his unborn son with everything; she gets to look after it. Good luck with that. There'll be nothing left. You know that this a game-changer. Yeah. She's so chummy with Fisher. (CELL PHONE CHIMES) Bugger him. John's still an issue. What is it? Fisher wants to meet. Why? Guess I'll find out. (TENSE MUSIC) Aren't you gonna tell me to be careful? I think we're way past that. (CHUCKLES) My angel. Laptops, John ` a hundred laptops. Well, you did give me the hint. I wasn't meaning that. But you deserve the resources. And did your kiddies love them? I can't accept them ` not if there are strings attached. No, there's no strings. Except, maybe... I want you to love me as much as I love you. What can I do to convince you? John, stop. I thought it might make you like me a little bit more. Can I just have a kiss? One kiss. No, John. One little kiss. Just a widdle one. Just a widdle one. (GROANS) Oh! You are my queen. You know that? My inspiration. Without you, I am nothing. We-We shouldn't be doing this. We just need a bit of closure. How lovely. I wanted to give you these in person, see how you're holding up. Well, you know, struggling through. That's good to hear. I gather there's to be a meeting of the shareholders. Indeed. And you don't, by any chance, know that Lloyd's shares have been left to me? I know we haven't exactly been friends. Understatement. But I also know you're a practical woman. And in the interests of the company, we need a change of direction. I agree, and so does Fisher. Fisher is not to be trusted. That's rich, coming from you. But he's promised to advance Joe. And you would have no argument from me about that. Joe has a lot of potential. Let's get something clear ` I don't need you, and the last thing I'll be giving you is my support. I think that's very unwise. Do you? It might have taken me 25 years, but I finally have what is due to me. What? A share of John Truebridge's fortune ` the money that was owed to me ` and I made sure I got it. That's why you married Lloyd. It's not like you didn't do the same. I worked for my money. And I've been busy as well ` getting pregnant again, convincing Lloyd to marry me, making sure he changed his will. You really are something. Believe it, lady. Joe. (DRAMATIC MUSIC) I'll leave you to it. Savannah. Babe. Well, this is cosy. I wanted you to meet Mr Park. He's an associate of Snake's. He's in the import-export business. Mr Park needs help to bring more of these into the country. Through the port. Are these fun to play with? (PIANO PLAYS OFF-KEY) (ROCK MUSIC PLAYS MUFFLEDLY) Have you sampled the merchandise? (CHUCKLES) No, I don't think that's necessary. You don't wanna be rude to your guest, now, do you? No, of course not, eh. (CHUCKLES) Sounds fun. After you, partner. Cheers to business. JOE: You told me you didn't know about the will. I didn't know the details. You said you made him change it. I was just looking out for you and your brother. No, no, that's not how it sounded. I am sick of Brady Truebridge trying to lord it over me. And I was treated appallingly by your father. What about Annabelle? I have nothing against her. She's devastated. It's sweet that you care, but Lloyd never planned to leave her much. She's his daughter. I was his wife. Yeah, who you married because of his money! And why are you with Annabelle, exactly? Because Lloyd paid you to be. That's low. You cannot honestly tell me you love her. I care about her, OK? Sweetheart,... I love that you are so decent. But how is it right to be with her when you're living a lie? (INTRIGUING MUSIC) You said` You have to let me go. Baby. (ROMANTIC MUSIC PLAYS) Well, isn't that lovely? Oh my gosh. For God's sakes, have you never heard of knocking? You gave me your code. I'll, um,... Yeah, yeah, why don't you? I'll see you soon. Well, talk about timing. You can't take her back. I do what I want, Mother. She is a tramp and a whore! Please don't talk that way about the woman I will marry. You only ever want something when it's taken away from you. You've been the same since kindy. Would you like a drink? Admit it ` as soon as you get a ring on her, you'll be bored. Mm. Yes, I have my flaws. And I suppose you've heard about Brady trying to take over the company again. She's having a shareholders' meeting. Mm. You must tell me who your little birdy is ` they're very good. Why didn't you tell me? Reid Larson are offering to buy up shares at a very good price, and, I must say, I'm rather tempted. Don't be. I'll call my lawyer. Why? Technically, under the terms of our agreement, I'm not supporting Brady; I'm just considering an offer. Bullshit! Well, my lawyer agrees. You do this, and I will never speak to you again. Oh, Mother, you might want to choose a threat you can actually see through. Look, I'm just doing what I need to do in order to protect my interests, OK? And it's all about you, isn't it? (FOOTSTEPS RECEDE) (CRICKETS CHIRP) Late meeting, was it? Parent-teacher. Mm. With your top inside out... and your JBF hair? Don't tell me ` you went there with John Jr. I still care about him, and he has this way of twisting things` You're an addict. I get it. I'm not. I had this thing with a Polish count once. Boy, did he know a thing or two about cunnilingus. Nancy! You need to get him out of your system, work out what's best for you. What am I supposed to do? The best thing right now is to get as far away from here as possible. I can't; I have a job. Get on a plane, sit on a beach, meditate, think about what you want. Nancy, no. Yes, we can do yoga in Bali. I'll book it now. No, I can't afford a trip to Bali` I can. I have a wee rainy-day fund I've been dying to crack into. I can't let you do that. Excuse me, dear, but I think this counts as an emergency. You need to do it. (KNOCK AT DOOR) ARIKI: Kennedy? Go away. Hey. Look, I know this has been hard on you, but having you here has meant such a lot to me. Me too. Really? Yeah, it's been good to get perspective on things and... grow up a little. That's great. That's awesome. Cos me and Megan, we just want you to be safe and happy. I get that, totally. OK, well,... po marie. Night. (TENSE MUSIC) (DOOR CLOSES) Hi, guys. This is... really hard for me to do, um,... but I screwed up, big-time,... because I came on here and I told you all that you can trust Denver, that he didn't rape that girl. But now I know none of that is true. Where have you been? Just business stuff. Thought it might be useful in the long run. But, hey,... how does it feel to be the new boss guy? I'm not. Brady used Delaneys as collateral in her war. Sold it to Reid Whatever. Shit! I dunno. Maybe she's right. I'm not qualified for this anyway. No, that's crap. No. The only reason I get here was shares I don't even have. Don't listen to her. I've been living a lie so long, I don't even know who I am any more. You're the same guy you've always been, Vader ` a good one. I'm a fuck-up, Vannah ` always have been, always will be. No, Brady is a selfish mole who'd throw her own grandmother in front of a bus to win. I know how important this was to you... and Brooke. (GROANS) The worst part is, I think Brooke was actually relieved when I told her. It wouldn't be because of you. Thing is, part of me was too. You can get whatever you want. (DRAMATIC MUSIC) I can't, though, can I? Not what I really want. Not right now,... no. Night, Vader. (BAROQUE CHORAL MUSIC PLAYS) Yo! What up, Fishcakes? Always a pleasure catching up with you. I'd like to offer you a seat on the board. Wow. No preamble. This is exciting. What do you say? Thank you. But I've had a better offer. Brady got to you, did she? No, I'm just considering my options, mate. And besides, you've never been that nice to me. Well, that's because you're an unreliable, self-entitled waste of space. OK, well, at least I don't roll out of bed, put on a pretend suit, hop in my pretend car and drive to my pretend job. I'd be very careful, if I was you. (LAUGHS) Why? What, are you gonna pretend to hit me? God, Fisher. Unlike you, this is all mine. I am John Truebridge's only legitimate heir. And you? God, you're just a washed-up hack,... like your father. (YELLS) Oh! Hoo-hoo! Man! I'll catch you on the flipside, dickhead. (FOOTSTEPS RECEDE) 5 Cash just texted me. He ended up staying with Bronco. They went ten-pin bowling, and then he ate a lot of sugar. I thought he was meant to be sick. Well, kids get over things pretty quick. And at least Bronco's making an effort. He still loves you. He's apologised for all the shit he put me through, and fair enough. He wants you back. So? So... maybe you should give it another go, you know? For Cash. I thought that you liked Cash. I do. But the longer I stay, the harder it's gonna be. Did I do something, Vader? Are you angry at me? No, I'm not angry. I'm just tired of lying to you and to myself. Are you seeing someone? If you're seeing someone, just tell me. I thought I was over her, but I'm not. (EXHALES) (DRAMATIC MUSIC) You're such an arsehole. Yeah. Probably. This is Denver, so you all know what he looks like. Stay away from him. He's charming, and he's talented, but he's not a good guy. He's dangerous. Hey. What the hell are you doing? Uh, the right thing. I told you to let it go. Let it go? What's wrong with you? He raped someone! Denver's not gonna be here anyway. He had an offer from a French club, and he accepted it. You can't do that. He'll spend the year there while this all blows over. I can't believe you're doing this. We both care for you so much. Yeah, and you're both fucked in the head. Kennedy! Look, I get that you're angry, but I need you to take down that vlog. You can't make me. I don't wanna have to do this, but if you don't take down that vlog, you will be sued for defamation. (TENSE MUSIC) He called out my father. How dare he. John's a dick ` we all know that. No, he's got no right! (SCOFFS) He needs to be dealt to. What are you saying? Some kind of lesson. Something... Something to show him he's choosing the wrong side. I don't think that's the best way to convince him. Why are you trying to protect him? I thought you hated him. 'Course I do. Maybe you're right. Maybe he does need a little lesson... in loyalty. (POPS LIPS) Mornin', pretzel! If you're looking for Ariana, she's at work. She's not. Then she'll be packing to skip the country. She wouldn't do that. Perhaps she's found herself a new toy boy or girl. Ugh. You can't help yourself, can you, Nancy? Your own life is so bloody tragic and disappointing, you have to make everyone else feel as miserable as you. She needs to get away from you. What if I told you... I loved her? You wouldn't know what love is. You wouldn't have the faintest idea. And if I can help her avoid a fate that includes you, I will do everything within my power. Looks like you're not as persuasive as you think. (DOOR OPENS, CLOSES) She's still going away. There they are ` Team Brady, Team Ford. Ah. Team Brady does not hug. OK. We'll work on that. Ah! (SNORTS) Oh, look at us, working together. How good. It's fantastic. Can we have bean bags in the office? (CELL PHONE RINGS) Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Yello, John speaking. Whoa, whoa, hey! Speak English! What? My mother's done what? (SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC) (SIGHS) Oh, Mama. John. Well,... Cutting your wrists? Really? I don't understand. Why`? Why would you do this to yourself? You sided... with her ` Brady, and the slut. Mother, please. I love you so much, and I only want what's best for you. But I can't live in a world when you hate me so much that you would side with them. Mum, no, no, I don't hate you. Hey, hey, no, no. I adore you... forever. You need to know that. Hey, what's up? I had to see you. Uh, can it wait? No, no, it can't wait. Vader? I have something I have to tell you. Christ, I wish I was drunk. Um,... What? I broke up with Brooke. I-I realised everything I was doing was to forget about you. And I tried, but it didn't work. And I can't keep lying any more, cos the truth is, I love you, Vannah. I fucking love you so much. Vader` WHISPERS: I love you too. Yes! But we can't do this now, and especially not here. But... Later. There's just... something urgent I have to do. For Brady? And for myself ` to sort things,... make sure that everything works out. OK? OK. (SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC) (CELL PHONE BLEEPS) (INTERCOM BUZZES) Hello? Package for John Truebridge. Cool, yep, bring it up.
