He was the figurehead of this company. 'I leave 75% to my son in utero.' I will get my company back. 'This is Denver. He's not a good guy.' If you don't take down that blog, you will be sued for defamation. Are you threatening me? WHISPERS: I love you too. 'But, um, there's just something urgent I have to do.' For Brady? And for myself. The port deal will put me back on top. SAVANNAH: As long as you can survive the shareholders meeting. JOHN JR: Cutting your wrists, really? This is all mine. I am John Truebridge's only legitimate heir. He needs to be dealt to. Where's John? He's not here. Ariana? MUFFLED: Help me!

This has gotta work. Just let the other board members know. I already have. (CELL PHONE RINGS) OK. (BEEP!) Yes. My guys went to see that ball sack John Jr. He wasn't there. His bitch was, though. I beg your pardon? They took her. What? His girlfriend. They had to. They had no choice. She'd seen them. (SIGHS) Jesus Christ. It's OK. We'll take care of it. No, no, no, wait. Wait. This can still work. (MUFFLED DANCE MUSIC PLAYS) Hey. Rox. How's it going? What are you doing? Nothing. (CHUCKLES LIGHTLY) I, um` I tried to find you, but you were busy, so I just` Snake would not like it that you're in here. (CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY) What's that? Um, it's just something that I need. Kind of insurance. This is not about Snake. And I need you not to say anything. Please, Rox. You owe me. (CELL PHONE RINGS) Hey, Snake. What's happening? Nothing much, babe. Just setting up, you know. (MOUTHS) Sure. What kind of job? Darling, when you get this, if you could give me a call. I'm meant to whisk Ariana away, and she's MIA. (DOOR SHUTS) You OK? (SIGHS) I feel like such an idiot. Aw, hey. You were right ` Dad's such a bastard. Oh, bub. (SOBS, SNIFFLES) (INTENSE MUSIC) So, it's been all go with my professionals ` my lawyer, my oncologist, and she gave me the best news. What, she got it wrong? No, the cancer's still there, but they can freeze my eggs, so when I'm all better, I can still have a baby. Really? Yeah. (CHUCKLES) You know, this whole time, I wanted to get pregnant to please my father, but now I know I want to have a baby for myself. Well, that's` (CHUCKLES) that's great. You don't think so? No, I-I just think it's amazing how you bounce back. Well, there's no point in being gloomy. And apparently, there's a much better chance of it working if the eggs are fertilised first. OK. I mean, I could always get a sperm donor. Ford might agree. I guess I'd... I'd consider it. (SQUEALS) You darling. Is that a yes? (CHUCKLES) (SQUEALS) This is so kind of you. I know. I know I've been stupid. I felt just sad and so very hopeless. But now it's just you and me again. Now the girl is gone. Her name is Ariana, and she can't be gone. She's probably better off with her own kind. (CELL PHONE CHIMES) Oh, would you cut the racist crap, Mother? Condition of staying. It's just a figure of speech. (CELL PHONE BEEPS) And you were never really suited. (CELL PHONE BEEPS) What is it, darling? (CELL PHONE BEEPS) Captions were made with the support of NZ On Air. Copyright Able 2017 How dare you treat Kennedy like this? I had responsibilities. Denver's a client of mine. And she's your daughter. You used her, lied to her, put her in danger. Hey, you know these things aren't black and white. (SCOFFS) You keep telling yourself that. Oh yeah, and you're purer than the driven snow, you are (!) Yeah, I've done some bad shit, but you're really showing your colours. Oh, you're lovin' this, eh? Just stay away from her, all right? From now on, you are out of our lives. (CAR DOOR SHUTS) (CAR HORN TOOTS) Well, I've finally got my hands on an agenda for the shareholders' meeting. Well, getting the numbers could be tough. I mean, you've got Malia, Joe. I've got a feeling things are just gonna work` Where is she?! Sorry? 'You need to think about your loyalties'? I haven't forgotten, you prick. What the hell are you talking about? Ariana! Where is she? Jesus Christ! You need to calm` calm the shit down, OK? (GRUNTS) If you're worried about Ariana, you just need to go to the police. CHOKES: They told me not to. Ariana's been kidnapped? Yes. STRAINED: Please stop hurting... Jr, I'm sorry you're upset, but you need to think carefully about who your friends are. OK? Hope you find Ariana. I will. Kidnapping ` seriously? What? Told you I'd get the numbers. (CHUCKLES) John. Wait up. John, what happened? Why don't you ask that douche lord in there? No, just tell me. Oh, for God's sakes. Ariana came to my house; I wasn't there, and now she's missing, and then I get this text. Oh, shit. Yeah. That knob end is using Ariana to pressure me into voting for him. Screw that, man. I know where she is. What? You been stalking her? It's called 'love', OK? And my love is somewhere... near Waiuku. OK, now I'm calling the cops. No, that's not a good idea. Why? That's what little people pay their taxes for. Because if Snake's involved, he's not gonna leave any witnesses. Snake? Wha`? What, the scary guy from` from the strip club? Yeah, he does stuff for Fisher ` bad shit, and you don't wanna get involved, OK? Let's go. My car's here. And your car says, 'A douchebag's on the way.' And what does your girly car say? My car says, 'Do you want my help or not?' (ALARM BLEEPS, DOOR OPENS) MALIA: Where's Joe? He had some work thing. I received a letter from your lawyer. You intend to challenge the will. I'm in quite a good position, apparently. I'm sorry your father wasn't kinder to you, but he did make his wishes clear. He was a deranged pig. I'm prepared to increase your allowance. Wouldn't that be better than some nasty battle that only benefits lawyers? I'll risk it. And anyway, I still get my 25%. But with your illness` Joe and I, we're freezing some embryos so we can have a baby. (SCOFFS) Darling, will you have anywhere to put them? If you are referring to my womb, yes, I might lose it, but we'll get a surrogate. And Joe's agreed to this? Yeah. And stop pretending you care about me, because I know you don't. Of course I do. You might have fooled my father, but you don't fool me. (TENSE MUSIC) (GROANS) Talk about boutique marathon. I am so not match-fit. Poor you (!) (SIGHS) I know it's really shallow, but I feel so much better. Well, that was the idea. And I'm gonna raise the limit on your credit card. Awesome. Aren't we poor? Oh no. I'm about to pull off a deal that will look after us very nicely. Ooh. Oh, that's what matters, eh (?) I happen to think my mother's amazing. Cos you can do more shopping? Mum. I know how hard you work for me, and you always have, and I'm really` Come here. Real touching (!) (SCOFFS) And you do not have to see Ariki any more if you don't want to. Oh, I don't. Hey, what Brady says goes. Ariana! Ariana! Look, it doesn't look like anyone's here. Yeah, I can see that. Well, it says she's right here. You don't think... Don't jump to any conclusions. How accurate is that? Uh, to a few metres. (OMINOUS MUSIC) Oh, crap. What is it? OK, now I'm calling the police. No. No, no, no, no. Not yet. No, I'm calling them. Not yet! No. Look, some of the girls come out this way sometimes for gang parties. Ugh. Sounds special (!) Yeah, well I know a few places we can check out. Well, hold on, hold on, hold on. You think that` You think she's with gang people? Could be. Aah! Jesus Christ. What are you doing? Hopefully we won't have to use it. (PANTS) (WHIMPERS) Hey, piss off outside, all right? I'm going first. (TENSE MUSIC) (ARIANA WHIMPERS) (WHIMPERS, STRUGGLES) Hey, don't fight. Hm? You and me, we're just gonna have some fun together. Ken! Get away from her. (ARIANA WHIMPERS) Hey, Rox. Snake told me to look after her. You need to be outside keeping watch. Later ` you and me, we are gonna party. (ARIANA SOBS, WHIMPERS) (ARIANA SOBS, WHIMPERS) It's OK, honey. You're going to be OK. (ARIANA BREATHES HEAVILY) You want some water? You've got to promise to keep quiet, OK? Otherwise, the guys, they're not gonna like it. (WHIMPERS) It's gonna be all right. 1 Good grief. That was outstanding (!) You could smell the meth through the walls. Well, you'd know. Hey, crystal's for losers, man. I like mine pure ` Bolivian, ideally. Come on. We have to keep looking. Hey, can I ask you something? Why are you doin' this? I don't want Ariana to get hurt when it was meant to be you. What? Fisher wanted to send you a message. Ariana was in the wrong place at the wrong time. What, so... you knew this whole time, and you were just gonna let it happen ` to me? I don't like you. I never will. I thought they were so you. I'm kind of in a different space now. I'm trying to apologise here. What, with some lame-o jeans? Grace, I know you've got every reason to hate me right now, but I'm so, so sorry. I've missed you so much. I love you. Well, prove it, bitch. (CHUCKLES) CHUCKLES: Whatever you want. Oh, now you're talking. (CHUCKLES) (KENNEDY CHUCKLES) Please, I-I need to use the bathroom. Sorry, babe. I can't. Well, I-I just don't wanna wet myself. Please? Look, you can` you can keep my hands tied. I just` I really, really need to go. OK. Don't do anything stupid. Promise? Mm-hm. Or the guys will hurt you. (CLICK!) Here you go. Back up. Back. You can sit. Oh, hold on. I know it's a bit embarrassing, but it's better than peeing your pants. Mm. (CELL PHONE CHIMES) You OK? Oh, it's just really hard to go with someone standing there. (CHUCKLES LIGHTLY) Sure. Be out by the door. Yell out when you're done. (DOOR HINGES CREAK) (BREATHES HEAVILY) Hey, it's me. We're all good. I'm not complaining, babe. It's just` Just be here whenever. Love you. (KNOCKS) You finished in there? Uh, a little help? Sure. (GRUNTS) (MEN LAUGH OUTSIDE) (DRAMATIC MUSIC) Yeah, bro. (SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY) Guys! Hey! Hey! She's getting away! (TENSE ACTION MUSIC) (WHIMPERS, BREATHES HEAVILY) (GRUNTS, PANTS) (TENSE ACTION MUSIC CONTINUES) (CAR ENGINE REVS) I know the welcome mat's not out. And Kennedy's not here, so... I know you're lovin' this, but you can stop point-scoring right now. I'm not. I miss you, B. I had 16 years without you. 17. Oh, 17? And I felt like I was sleepwalking, and then I found you. (CHUCKLES) Only cos your daughter tracked you down. Oh, bullshit. I came looking for you. Yeah, right (!) When I got out of jail, I came to Auckland to try and find you. And when I did, you were getting it on with some rich old fella. And then you married him. Yeah, I did. Yeah, well, at least it gave me some motivation. (FOOTSTEPS APPROACH) Honestly! That girl ` where is she? I'll leave you to it. We're meant to be at the airport in an hour. Maybe she changed her mind. (BREATHES HEAVILY) (PANTS, WHIMPERS) (OMINOUS MUSIC) JOHN JR: Ariana? It's me. John? Yeah. Hey. Hey, hey. (SOBS) It's OK. Hey, hey. Oh, baby. Hey. (CELL PHONE RINGS) John. Are we on the same page? Uh, you mean the page where you are done, you fucktard? That's right, buddy. Your plan to control me ` epic fail. My baby is safe and sound, and right now, we are at the police station, and she is telling the mother-flippin' po-po everything she knows. Well, I'm glad to hear that. Really? Are you really? (CHUCKLES) Of course I am. Because those guys who kidnapped her ` she saw their faces, man, and that's gonna lead back to the strip club, which is gonna lead back to your old mate Snake, and I mean, even the police are gonna be able to join the dots, which will lead to you. CHUCKLES: John, I have no idea what you're talking about. Oh my God. OK, you know what, you fucking psychopath ` I hope you are wearing a parachute, because you are going down. Can this be tied to Fisher? Snake's boys will never snitch. (SIGHS) Loving the loyalty (!) We can't prove that Fisher was involved in kidnapping Ariana. (SIGHS) But we can prove his port deal also involves Snake and drugs. Video footage of Fisher with Snake and his importer, Mr Park. You are shitting me. They're discussing using the port to import drugs ` what containers to use, doing a few lines together. Well, you said we needed the evidence to nail the prick. (CHUCKLES) And you hammered it. So, we can go to the cops with this. Sure. But timing is everything. We give Fisher any warning, he'll have lawyers all over it. We can't give him any room to move ` not this time. OK. But that's the only copy. And I will take good care of it, don't worry. Well done, lady. Hey, team effort. (CHUCKLES) (OMINOUS MUSIC) (KNOCKING ON DOOR) Hey. Hey. You OK? Oh, just thinking about shit. Thinking about leavin'. No. You can't. I thought you loved me. I do, but it's just getting too complicated. Tomorrow, everything will be sorted. Fisher will get what's coming to him, and Brady will get her company back. That doesn't change things for us. I don't know. I mean, maybe we could escape to a tropical island, and we could spend the rest of our days eating fruit,... (BOTH CHUCKLE) ...and having sex. Ah. Sex and fruit. (CHUCKLES) There's an offer. (GENTLE MUSIC) I love you. I don't wanna wait any more. 1 Going all good, bro? Yeah, it's good ` get to boss round a couple of tradies, take your regular home to Leilani. Yeah, nice. Yeah. I don't know about these guys who are meant to be doing security, though. Eh? Where'd they come from? I was just given instructions from HQ ` Fisher. OK. Bit of stuff's gone missing too, man. I don't wanna rock the boat, eh? (REVERSING TRUCK BEEPS OUTSIDE) Malia's here. Darling, they made me wear this. Yeah, it's the rules, Mum. (SIGHS) I'm just getting to grips with Lloyd's interests ` fingers in so many pies. This is amazing. Yeah, it will be. Lloyd lent you a lot of money, didn't he? The TBH ` to help fulfil your dream. Mm-hm. Mm. Mum` But there might be changes at Truebridge Hunt, and I need to know that I can count on you. OK. What do you mean? Annabelle is challenging the will. Yeah, well, it's her right. Well, think how this could impact on you. And this insane plan of hers to have babies... (CHUCKLES) Well, it's not impossible. You shouldn't encourage her ` not if it means delaying her treatment. Wait, what do you mean? Haven't you consulted Dr Google? All of this is so admirable. I'm just not sure it's the best use of money from the estate. Mum, this is what I've been working for ` affordable housing. I know, and I do so want to help. Pull Annabelle into line, won't you? (BROODING MUSIC) You must be thrilled to know that Ariana is safe. It's nothing to do with me. What are you doing here? May I? I thought we should have a little conversation before the shareholders meeting, just in case you thought there was still any chance you could win control of my company. Where did you get this? Money really can buy you anything. You just need to know who to talk to. The question you should be asking is ` what do I intend to do with it? Well, if you were gonna go to the police, you wouldn't be here. Well, I just need to consider the best possible outcome... for everyone. (INTRIGUING MUSIC) (CHUCKLES) We have to move. Nah, we're on a tropical island, remember? (CHUCKLES) Mm. Bingo. (CHUCKLES) Ah, you've always believed in me, looked out for me. I don't think I would have remembered about Fisher if it wasn't for you. I'm here for you, always. (CHUCKLES) We have to get to this meeting. Mm, go Team Brady. (CHUCKLES) She's been there for me in her own way. But when we close this off, there'll be all the fruit you can eat. (VACUUM WHIRRS) Aren't you meant to be at work? Um, this... this egg fertilising thing ` I don't know. It means you have to put off your cancer treatment. Only for a few months. (VACUUM SWITCHES OFF) Look, Annabelle, you can't, OK? You don't wanna do it? No, I don't want you to die. Just` look... We still have Daniel. - OK? - (VACUUM HOSE CLATTERS) Look, I just... I just want a real family, OK? And a baby that's mine. And this is my last chance. And it makes me feel like I've got something to live for. Annabelle. Look,... I know that I'm high-maintenance, and I'm difficult... and sick. SOBS: So if you wanna dump me for someone better, then` Hey, don't` don't say that. No, no, it's all true. (SOBS) I'm sor` Hey, would you marry me? What? Marry me. (CHUCKLES LIGHTLY) I wanna be with you, and I... I promise I will never leave you. Please marry me. Be my wife. CHUCKLES: Oh my freakin' God. Yeah? Yes! So yes! Yeah? (CHUCKLES) Oh! (CHUCKLES) (SQUEALS SOFTLY) (BLENDER WHIRRS) (SIGHS) I feel like I can't have enough showers. Well, hey, you're safe now. (SIGHS) Did I mention that I love you? Mm. You can never say it enough. Hey,... you wanna prove it to me? You've still got your... (GASPS) You know, this was in my pocket the whole time. Wow. That is extremely fortunate they did not search you. I know, and thank you. I would say champagne breakfast, but, uh... Oh, I've got to go to the cops and look at photos. You've got a meeting, and should Vivian be left alone? Vivian is not a child. Morning. How are you feeling? Never better. (EXHALES) You are so kind... and brave... and thoughtful. I'll see you later? You will. (SIGHS) All right, you. Here's a smoothie. Now, we're off to see a whole new vision of Truebridge Hunt. Which means the black bitch is back on top. Mother! You have to think happy thoughts. Mm. (SIGHS) And no more silly business, please. OK? Drink your smoothie. (FOOTSTEPS RECEDE) (DOOR OPENS) (SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC) (WHISTLES) Ooh, bloody Antiques Roadshow. Hey, you'll be happy to know... my fiancee's safe and sound. Gidday, Herbert. How are ya? Good to see you, mate. Wait, whoa, whoa. What happened? Oh, just me... being a bit of a hero. Me and her ` closer than ever. We all ready for this? Absolutely. What about Fisher? It's all under control. Hello, everyone. Thank you so much for coming. Shall we get started? (OMINOUS MUSIC) You can hold on to that. What the actual fuck? Trust me. What the hell? He's a bloody kidnapper. WOMAN: Sorry I'm late. Kim, that's OK. Take a seat. Right. So, it looks like we're all here. Shall we begin? There have been questions raised about the management of Truebridge Hunt. I urge you to accept this offer. With the combined resources of Reid Larson and Truebridge Hunt, we are poised to take the company into the future, confident in the knowledge that it will make us stronger. Would anybody like to speak to this motion? I would. I just wanna say that I... agree with everything that Brady has said. (BLOWS RASPBERRY) But you hate her. I urge you all to accept the offer. In the interest of stability, I will be stepping down as CEO. I wish you all the best for the future. So, Fisher just gets to walk outta here? What did you think was gonna happen? We break his legs. What about him paying for what he's done? He goes to jail. He suffers. Use your head. Our CEO is seen to be smuggling drugs ` what do you think that would do to the ports deal? Ports? What? Fisher is an evil prick. No, I wish him nothing but harm, but that deal ` it is the best thing he has ever done. It is way too good to throw away. Do you not even care that he murdered your husband, that he tried to kill me? Of course I care. But if I let it get personal, we'll be the losers. And he ends up winning instead? He'll never work again ` not in this town or anywhere. His name will be mud. I'll make sure of it. Oh, big fuckin' deal. Oh, Savannah. No. You do not get to tell me what to do! You do not get to tell me what to think. Cos you're so squeaky clean (!) You used me. You lied to me. You helped Fisher steal my company, and now you wanna take the moral high ground. Come on, OK? We both did what we had to do, and now it is time to look to the future. I am. (TENSE MUSIC) (CAR ALARM BEEPS) Hi. You think it's that easy, do ya? Yeah, it looks like it, with a golden handshake to boot. I know what you did to Savannah. I'm still gonna prove it. (SIGHS) Oh, Zachary. Why don't you move on, mate? Let it go. Savannah has. She hates your guts. Yeah? That's funny, cos that's not what she said... last time I was fucking her. (LAUGHS) Bullshit. Vannah knows you're a psycho. She remembers everything ` what you did; chucking her off a fuckin' balcony. You know, it's nice that a so-called brother cares about his sister, but, um, ever since I helped Savannah get over that little accident, we've been screwing each other's brains out. (CAR DOOR SHUTS, ENGINE STARTS) 1 Where did that bitch get the footage? I don't know! She said someone sold her the footage. It wasn't me. Who was it, then? I don't know. Don't you fuckin' lie to me! I'm not! I'm not. (SOBS) I am sorry I let that girl get away. She tricked me. But I was just looking after her like you told me to. She saw your face. No! It all happened so fast. The boys` The boys are staunch, but you` I'll never say anything. I wouldn't. I'll go away ` out of town, to Oz. I'll go anywhere. They won't be able to ask me anything. And you ` you won't have to worry. OK, Snake? OK. Get up. Get up! Sounds like a plan. It's... all gonna be good. And when it's safe for me to come home, I'll make you so happy. Get in the car. Go on. Go on. Get in the car. (GUNSHOT) (BIRD CAWS) Hey, Ariana. What the shit? Well, it was lovely, but I paid for the dress, so it's mine to do what I want. Put that down. No. I can't stand a job half done. (SNIPPING) Hey! (FABRIC TEARS) (GRUNTS) This is crazy ` looney tunes. You know nothing! You ungrateful bastard. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! You need to` (GRUNTS) You need to calm down, OK? Calm! Fuck you! We have had enough of your bloody spastication, OK? You are becoming a danger to yourself and others. Oh, yeah. What are you gonna do about it, huh? Good question. How can I be happy? Ariana back with the demon spawn. And... It's a turn-up, all right. ...I spent all that money on tickets to Bali. Oh, hello, stranger. Hello. Am I... interrupting something? We're celebrating. Well, we're meant to be. Well, the guys at Reid Larson are thrilled, so I will talk to you tomorrow. Hm. Thanks, Ford. SPANISH ACCENT: You can walk me back to my lonely cabana. Ooh, my pleasure. Watch her. (CHUCKLES) You called? A question ` did you really look for me all those years ago? Shit, B. Why would I make that stuff up? You didn't contact me. When a man sees his woman with some rich old fulla, what's a Maori supposed to do? Your woman? (SMOOTH MUSIC PLAYS) Your woman? Mm. This is flash. Hey, Dad. You want sugar? He's given that up. Where's your girlfriend? Ah, she's, um,... she is with a friend. But, um,... I've asked Annabelle to marry me,... and it's important for me to have your blessing. Cheers, bro. Thank you, bro. Congratulations, son. WHISPERS: Thanks. You want to marry... marry... that silly palagi girl? Mum, she's not a bad person. It's not about bad or good, son. It's about family. Ariana was the best girl in the world for you, son, and you let her go. Yes, Mum, but I-I'm trying to do what I feel is right here. I just hope that one day, you'll be OK with that. Do what you want. So, this victory ` was there a shitload of money involved? Naturally. (CHUCKLES) But the icing on the cake was death to my enemies. (CHUCKLES LIGHTLY) Jesus, you're scary. Oh, and you're a wholesome guy (!) Upstanding family man (!) Always upstanding. Mm. KENNEDY: Mum? Oh, crap. Mum, are you home? Hey, sweetheart. (GROANS) Kennedy, stop! (DOOR SHUTS) SIGHS: Oh shit. Well, that's gonna make things interesting, eh? Hey, it's good to see you. Thanks for the invite. (CAR DOOR OPENS) And thanks for the tea. (CAR DOOR SHUTS) (CHUCKLES) Oh, you know Mum ` she's hard-arse. (CAR ENGINE STARTS) I'll talk to her when she's calmed down, eh? Cheers. You're not doing this just because, uh, Annabelle's sick? Look, she needs me. Yeah. (SIGHS) OK. I'll try and move the mountain, eh? Yeah. Good luck. (CAR DOOR OPENS) Hi. Sorry it took ages. VIVIAN: No, no, no. He is the one with the mental health issues. OK, OK. And that is just another sign of your delusion, but thankfully, the professionals agree with me, and you will be taken care of. Thank you. No, no. You cannot do this! It's already done. How are you, my darling? Fine. Mum is just on her way. So I don't have to watch any more jungle fever! OK. Nighty-night. You will hear from my lawyer. I can't stand dark... Good grief. She had another episode, so I've had her sectioned for her own good. (VIVIAN RANTS INDISTINCTLY) You can do that? Yeah, it's actually surprisingly easy, especially when somebody is clearly in danger. But it's` it's your mother. Yeah, and this is what she's done to your wedding dress. Oh my gosh. God. Who knows what was next? Probably stabbing us in our sleep. Aw, poor you. I know, but I had no other choice. (GROANS) Oh, babe. That is so awful. I know, right? So gross. (CELL PHONE RINGS) (SIGHS) It's your mumma ` again. (SIGHS) You should just answer it. You disgust me. Yeah, I know, but it's complicated. That's what you wanna call it? I just need to talk to you. I'm not leaving Grace. Not now. Come into the office tomorrow. We can have lunch. So you can tell me why you're screwing my father and why you're a liar and a homewrecker? You can yell at me all you want tomorrow. Great. Can't wait (!) Think this is gonna end up online in a minute? God, I hope not. Maybe I should just bite the bullet and tell Megan. Don't do that. Oh, still not good enough for you, eh? It's too messy. I've got too many balls in the air. Well, as long as you give some attention to a particular set of balls... You are shameless. WHISPERS: Yeah. Back at you, ow. (OMINOUS MUSIC) (CELL PHONE RINGS) Hey. I thought we were celebrating an early retirement. I have a better idea. I've chartered a yacht. We can go somewhere sunny, far, far away. I was supposed to be cleaning out my sock drawer, but I'll be there. Obviously, we need to keep this to ourselves. Of course. OK. I'll text you when I'm ready to pick you up. I can't wait. 1 (POIGNANT MUSIC) (GUN CLICKS) (BROODING MUSIC) ZAC: Vannah. SOFTLY: Shit. I can't stay here, not after what Brady` Fisher says you slept with him. It can't be true. Tell me it isn't true. I needed him to trust me. Jesus. I thought you loved me. I do. I mean, the thing with Fisher is just sex. Sorry, OK? I j-just had to do what I had to do. But I love you. I really` No. You make me sick! Fine. K. I was just leaving here anyway. (GENTLE MUSIC) (GENTLE MUSIC CONTINUES) (INTRIGUING MUSIC) (SIGHS) Hey. Hey. Mwah. Travelling light? Yeah, I just grabbed a few things, stayed at a hotel ` had to get out of Brady Central, you know? But, anyways, I can buy whatever I want when we get where we're going, right? Sure. (CAR DOOR SHUTS) (COFFEE MACHINE HISSES) Good morning, darling boy. Coffee? Are we going tramping? Um, I'm heading back to Westport, then... I dunno. I just need to get out of here. Don't leave me. (SIGHS) Nancy, you've been really, really great, but I can't live like this any more. Is this an 'Eat, Pray, Love' thing? Eh? If you need to find yourself, I've got a couple of tickets to Bali going spare. (CHUCKLES) No, I just kinda need to go home. You'll always have a home here. (KISSES) Thanks, Nancy. (DOOR OPENS) I can assure you, it'll be a smooth and easy transition. (CHUCKLES) Yeah, I'll be in touch. This can't be right. What's up? The accounts don't tally with the online statement. Oh no. Those update so quickly. No ` money seems to be missing. KENNEDY: Hey, Mum. Hi. We were meant to meet up, get lunch. Can Grace come? Oh, shit. Can you wait out there? I need to follow something up. Give us a look. SIGHS: Whatever. So typical. 'Let's get lunch.' Sure, we will (!) Well, maybe we can just go get something. Hm. I've got a better idea. As far as I can tell, the money that was earmarked for the port acquisition has been approved and has gone out. Well, that's not possible. The deal isn't concluded. Well, trust me, it's gone. (SIGHS) Oh, Jesus. Yeah, hi. This is Brady Truebridge. I need some information. Yeah, I know it's the fuckin' weekend, but you're supposed to be our financial controller. (BOTH CHUCKLE) Perks of having a rich girlfriend. Stick with me, babe. We can go where we want, lunch where we want, and we don't have to hang around and watch my mum fuck my dad. Oh, and this time, no flat tyres. And no one steals our car. (CHUCKLES) Let's go. (CAR ENGINE STARTS) (TYRES SQUEAL) So, where are we headed? We could've been so good together. And the money ` (CHUCKLES) oh my God, all the money. What do you mean? Let's just call it my golden parachute. How long have you known? (CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY) What? When did you remember what happened on the balcony? I don't know what you're talking` (GRUNTS) Don't lie to me. Just tell me the truth. A few months. It was you, wasn't it? You gave Brady the ammunition she needed ` the security footage. No. Brady made me. She` She knew about Carl, and she made` Oh, fuck you! I actually loved you. And the sex... (CHUCKLES) the sex was sensational. At least I thought so. My bad. No. We can still go away together. I like you. I really do. You're a lying little bitch. This isn't the way to the marina. (SINISTER MUSIC) 1 (BROODING MUSIC) Why are we here? Just some business I need to take care of before I sail away and all the little bombs go off. What bombs? I left Brady a few surprises. OK. Let's go. Out. You won't need that. Oh, Jesus! Fuck! (GRUNTS) Aah! (GRUNTS) Well, this will come in handy. I'm just glad you're OK, though. I can't believe it happened. Yeah, I'm trying to help the cops as much as I can. Yeah. (SIGHS) And John... John was really, really amazing. Um, I'm staying with him. I-I really love him, and I just wanted to let you know in person. Sure. Really? I asked Annabelle to marry me. Oh. (CHUCKLES) Yeah. That's... That's great. I mean, it will be when I get used to it. Yeah, I just wish my parents felt the same way, but... They don't approve? Nah. You know Mum ` she's... she's your biggest fan. (BOTH CHUCKLE) That's sweet. Yeah. We` We can still be friends, though, can't we? Hey, honestly, I cannot imagine my life without you in it. Same. (CHUCKLES LIGHTLY) Hm. (CHUCKLES) Please. I won't say anything. I wouldn't. Shut up. Here's the rest of the party. He's got nothing to do with this. Are you serious? He's a loose end, and I don't like him. Any problems, mate? Easy. He was just about to leave town, so we gave him a lift. Whatever he's paying you, I'll double it. (CHUCKLES) He said she had cojones. OK, you two ` move. Move. Don't trust him, Snake. He's about to leave the country, and you're gonna be left holding your dick. What's she talking about? Nothing. He's got no money. He's running out on you. The fuck is she talking about? I said nothing. She's lying. Maybe I should see my money, then. CHUCKLES: It's not like I've got it on me. Well, where is it, then? It's in fucking transit. (GRUNTS) (GRUNTS) Don't` Don't move. I mean it. Fuck me, this is fun. Think about it, Snake ` is he really worth dying for? You might get him, but then I'll shoot your brother in the fuckin' head, and you'll be next! Yeah, do that! I was asking about my money. I told you ` it's in transit. (GUNSHOT) Ow! Fuck! Mate! Jesus! You shot my leg! Put it down. Put it down! (GROANS) Goddamn! Mr Corporate, is she right? Are you going somewhere? No! He's got a yacht at the marina. It's all ready to go. Is that true? OK, she is lying. It's not true. Is she right? No, it's not true! (GUNSHOT) (YELLS) (SQUELCH!) You triple what he's giving me. Deal. This is actually quite lovely, isn't it? You'd never know it was a funny farm. How dare you? Are the drugs any good? You betrayed me. Look, I just did what was best for you, OK? And I will come visit every day. Don't fucking bother. It is the duty of the son to look after his mother, OK? Especially when she's unwell. You're not even my own son. Fuck. Get out. Go on. Get out. Do we need to, uh, get a doctor to discuss your meds? GRITS TEETH: I said get out. I mean it. I mean it. You are no son of mine. (GRUNTS) (SMASH!) Um,... maybe it's a little bit too soon to visit. Another time, yeah? (FISHER GRUNTS) (WATER SLOSHES) Ever since you done me over with that baseball bat, I've been waiting for the right time. Money ` I've got more, more money than you could dream of, Snake. Bullshit. Told me he was broke. It's all over. She is lying. That's a lie. All right. Let's just call the cops and get this over with. (GRUNTS) Are you fucking insane? Vannah. Do it. Don't! Don't do it! Last chance! (GASPS FOR BREATH) Savannah, please. Please don't. (EXHALES DEEPLY) Vannah, no. No, no, no, no! Vannah, what are you doing?! Vannah, stop! Savannah! Stop! You can't do it! (GASPS) Oh! Fuck! Oh! Vannah, think about it ` think about what you're doing. (GRUNTS) Savannah, stop! Stop! Vannah, please, turn the fuckin' thing off! Shut up! Please! Oh! No! Fuck. (FISHER GASPS FOR BREATH) (YELLS) (FISHER GASPS FOR BREATH) (CONCRETE SQUELCHES) 1 What do you wanna do with him? Leave him to me. We can make more room. He's not gonna say anything. I don't want this shit coming back on me. It won't. It's my responsibility. You need to get rid of that car. Torch it. I've got a better idea. Just leave this to me. It's nice doing business with you, bitch. (CAR ENGINE REVS) We have to go to the cops, all right? You want me to go to prison? We say Snake made you do it. Yeah, but he didn't. Who the fuck are you? And who the fuck are you? Some guy pretending to be someone else. I'm not a murderer. But you are an accessory, just in case you're tempted to tell anyone. Jesus, you're a piece of work. I can drop you off wherever you want. I'll get out here. Now! (GRUNTS) (CAR DOOR SHUTS) (EXHALES DEEPLY) (FAZERDAZE'S 'LUCKY GIRL' PLAYS) (CHUCKLES) So, it takes three days... Hm? ...to get a marriage licence... Yeah. ...if you wanna do it at the registry office. OK. Yeah, sure. Yeah. But we can still have a party, right? Of course. And a dress? (LAUGHS) I've always wanted one. Look, you can have whatever you want, OK? OK. (CHUCKLES) You're crazy. (KNOCKING ON DOOR) But in a good way. (CHUCKLES) (CHUCKLES) (EXHALES) (DOOR OPENS) (CHUCKLES) Hey. Mm. Hi. (MUSIC STOPS) Hi. What's going on? Well, we're here to pray for you... and to welcome you into our family. Oh my God` I mean gosh! (CHUCKLES) (JOE CHUCKLES) This is so amazing. Thank you. Yeah. Um` Um, can I`? Can I offer you some tea? No, please, don't` don't go through any trouble. Oh, I want to. It's` Thank you. Thank you so much. Looks like it's gonna be a big wedding. Yeah, man. It's gonna be huge. Would you like some cake? Um, I have some, but it's gluten-free. I hope that's OK. (LAUGHS) SOFTLY: Hey, thanks for putting in the good word, bro. Oh, nah, it wasn't me, man. It was Ariana. No? Not too much excitement? OK, all right, OK. Yeah, she came round to the house to see Mum. I'm still practising... So, yeah. All good, bro. How do you have your tea? Yeah. Yeah, all good. Just one, white, please. Hi. How's Vivian? What have you been up to? Uh, just, um, caught up with a friend and went and saw my parents. Oh, that's great. Are you OK? You know, if this is really gonna work, I'm gonna need something from you. Uh, anything. Come here. (KISSES) I'm gonna need you to promise, to swear on all that is holy,... Mm-hm. ...that you will never, ever see Joe again. John. I... After everything, you still can't do it. No, John. John, wait. Wait. I-I swear it. I swear. Yay! SOFTLY: Yay. (CHUCKLES) Well, well. How the mighty have fallen. Oh, and if you need any advice on how to survive the bin, I'm your woman. I remember visiting you when we had to put you away all those times. Well, it's a little rich now, sweetheart. Do you remember that time we thought you were a danger to your baby? Your little mistake. He was in no danger. And I lost him, anyway. Did you? Did you really? What are you talking about? I've looked after your little bastard for 30 bloody years. Come on, dear. Come on. And now you can have him back. (DRAMATIC MUSIC) BRADY: Where the hell have you been? That doesn't matter. What about Fisher? Do you know where he is? Don't wanna know. Good riddance. I'd agree, except that a whole lot of money's gone missing, transferred to an offshore account. Do you think Fisher took it? Oh, I know he did. Oh, this is the part where you say, 'I told you so.' But the money should be easy to trace, right? It's been rerouted. It could be anywhere. Only Fisher would know how to access it. (CAR ALARM BEEPS) (GRUNTS) You still there? Fisher once told me that if shit hit the fan, he had access to a yacht. He'd sail away. SIGHS: Ah, Christ. How much money are we talking, anyway? 240 million. (CHUCKLES LIGHTLY) Maybe I should have stuck with him. This isn't a joke, Savannah. And I'm not laughing, Brady. You betrayed me. I won't forget that. Let's talk about it tonight. Let's not. # It don't matter where we come from or where we'll go. # Cos, baby, we've been searching for it way too long. Are we ever gonna stop? I'm hungry. (CHUCKLES) You're so not romantic. (CHUCKLES) We've gotta find the perfect picnic spot, OK? You're cute. (CHUCKLES) (SAVANNAH GRUNTS) (PADLOCK JINGLES ON CONCRETE) (SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC) (LOCKS CLICK) (SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC CONTINUES) (BEEP!) (TYPES ON KEYBOARD) (INTRIGUING MUSIC) Oh my God. (CHUCKLES) (CHEERS, LAUGHS) Oh my gosh! Oh my... (CHUCKLES) (CHUCKLES) (BEEP!) (CHUCKLES) The bank hasn't had any luck tracing the money. There's a real possibility we won't get it back. 240. I just can't believe it. Brady, the shareholders have to be notified. Yeah, I know, I know. I gave everything I had to win my company back. Now that bastard still kills me. Have you seen the girls? KENNEDY: Right by the lake. GRACE: Oh my gosh. Have you been here before? Yeah. (CAR ENGINE SHUTS OFF) Oh my God. See, I told you ` picnic perfect. (CHUCKLES) And so are you. Hey. (CHUCKLES) I thought you were hungry. I am. (OMINOUS MUSIC) (BOOM!) (FIRE CRACKLES)
