No!

I'm an accountant.
Running from the police is not in my nature.

Hey!

Gotcha!

Lola!

Hello?

MORRISON: Did you think
this was over?

We have your son, Lola.

I want that key tag.

Why does he want the key tag?

He didn't share that with me.

Why don't we just give it to him
here?

I'll give him the bloody key tag
when I've got David in front of me.

OK, well, we could just
fly to Bangkok.

We're using fake names, remember?

- So? - Anyway, the police are
still looking for me.

I can't risk using that passport.

- Well, we could get new passports.
- No, not 'we'. Not 'we', Chelsea.

This is my problem, alright?

Ha!
Hey!

Sure, whatever.
Chelsea!

Look, why do you get to

I'm not going on a holiday.

No, I know. I know that. I just...

I haven't come this far

Who wants to know?

My son's boss, Mr Sittikul,

You mean Tan?

That cheap sh*t still owes me money.

Where do you wanna go?

Bangkok.

Can't say I've ever had to
smuggle anyone that way before.

Are you sure your friend here's
ready for it?

There's no in-flight movie, darling.

How much?

MAN: You know, the fact that their
two key witnesses are still missing

means that prosecution,
they won't go to trial anytime soon,

which is a good thing.

You know, of course it's also bad.

What happened to bail?

They got you on video, mate,
trying to drown the girl.

Yeah, well, I was just
questioning her, that was all.

I know. I know.

Listen...

I've been thinking.

You know, it wasn't just you.

That cop the women k*lled
at the bus stop was crooked.

We give them a few other names
like that, corrupt cops,

and... we might be able to get you
into witness protection.

What do you think
my life expectancy would be

corrupt cops?

Any word on what they're asking for?

Oh, Jesus.

What if they never find the women?

Well, things are
looking brighter then.

Maybe... maybe the police case
against you falls apart.

We'll get there.

(REFLECTIVE MUSIC)

I've never seen anyone
throw up as much as you.

David hated the dark.

Always slept with the lights on.

I had to work nights
and he'd be alone.

I'd come home and he'd have
every light in the flat on.

Even the hall cupboard.

I just hope he's OK.

(BANGING)
MAN: We're getting close.

Shut up in there.

Why does he have to be so rude?

He's a people smuggler, Chelsea.
They're not known for their manners.

Do you see anything?

Oh, god.

MAN: Welcome to Bangkok.

(SPEAKS THAI)

Here.

So many people.

Oh, it smells.

- Just keep your head down.
- OK.

- Where are we meeting him?
- He said on a bridge.

- Mr Sittikul?
- Just... just Tan. Come this way.

A couple of my men
were there when David was taken.

Why didn't they do anything?

They thought it was
something to do with his debts.

What debts?

He's a good boy and a good worker.

No, hang on. You said he had debts?

You need to go to the police, Lola.
I have friends who can help.

I can't.

This can be a dangerous city...

Look, the man on the phone
was clear.

If we talk to anyone - David's dead.

We're not really
big fans of the police.

I appreciate everything
you've done getting us here

but we're not going to the police.

You know where you're meeting
these people?

Gotta wait for him to call.

(g*nsh*t)
(GASPS)

Hey! (SPEAKS THAI)

Sorry. Just follow me this way.

(FIREWORKS EXPLODE)

This is it.
Out of the way, as you requested.

Thanks.

David stays at Red River Apartments
on Thanontok Road.

It's nearby. I can take you there.

No, no, no - you've...
you've done enough. Thank you.

Red River Apartments,
Thanontok Road.

And you have my number
just in case, OK?

Thank you.

Well, then, good luck,
Lola, Chelsea.

Thanks for your help.

Why didn't you let him take us to
David's apartment?

I'm not dragging him into our mess.

You don't want to trust him,
you mean.

Hello. Room please.

Why does 'out of the way'
always mean one star?

Well, at least it's clean... ish.

And cosy.

Still no message.

Does he even know that we're here?

He's meant to call today.
That's the deal.

I need the bathroom.

Does David Buckley stay here?

David Buckley. I'm his mother.

I gave him this.

Whoa. Easy.
Who are you?

Is David here?
Who are you?!

I'm Vincent. I'm a friend of
David's. We're meeting.

What do you mean 'friend'?

We work together.
Where?

On the boats.

When was the last time you saw him?

A couple of days ago. Forget it.

Hey, where did you see him?

I dunno. Bar maybe? I...

What do you mean? What bar?

Actually, I have to go, yeah.

Look, just tell David,
Vincent came by, OK?

No. Hey. Hey!
Hey, wait. What are you doing?

Sailor my arse.
Lola!

L... Lola!

Oh.

What is the matter with you?

Sailors don't wear
thousand dollar watches.

Well, it could have been a fake.
It wasn't.

Well, actually, these days
it's kind of impossible to tell.

Why isn't he calling?

You know there are other
ways to talk to people, Lola.

What?
That guy, Vincent.

He might have known something

if you'd asked less like
a crazy person.

I didn't trust him, OK.

Maybe he was acting suspiciously

because you were interrogating him
with a broomstick.

And maybe he knows
what happened to David.

You've got to trust somebody, Lola.

Do I?

We need to buy
another couple of phones.

I'll do it.

Yeah, OK. Just don't...
What?

Nothing.
What?!

Just don't spend an hour
bartering over five bucks.

OK, fine.

I need some air.
I'm just gonna wait around there.

I'll find you.

Ah. You want to buy
a mobile phone? Right?

Yes. Two please.

I need to talk to my children.

I need to see them, Karen. I...

you could save us all some trouble.

Thanks.

You're not to blame.

Yeah, I am.

If I'd just given Ray
that bag of money...

Then we'd be dead.
David would be free.

And we'd be dead!

You've got to stop
thinking this way.

We're totally innocent.

Well, apart from the outstanding
manslaughter charge against me.

Well, sure.
Apart from my embezzlement charges.

Yeah, apart from those...

Apart from those,
we are totally innocent.

We are so totally innocent.
Totally.

Innocent.

MORRISON: How was your trip, Lola?

Where's my son?
Oh, he's right here.

You'll get to speak to him
in a minute.

Let me speak to him now.
Oh, Lola.

Listen, all I need to do is meet

and get this whole thing
over and done with.

Hmm?

I know you must be nervous,

and the truth is... so am I.

Who are you?

This is the last thing
I want to be doing. So let's fix it.

There's a place called
the Talhoy Train yards.

The Talhoy Train yards?

Yes. am.

It's a safe place for us
to make the exchange.

I'm not meeting you at
some abandoned train yards.

You're a wanted felon
and illegal immigrant, Lola.

Nuh. No way.

We have to meet somewhere.

OK, the Lotus Fountain roundabout.
It's by the river.

The Lotus Fountain roundabout.

And it's not negotiable.

(LAUGHS) Oh, OK, OK.

The Lotus Fountain roundabout, am.

Oh, and Lola...
you don't try anything stupid.

Let me speak to David.

Mum?
David!

Are you alright?

They're keeping me near the river.
I can hear the water.

I can hear the water! Mum!
David? David?

- Hey, you there?
- Yes.

The reception's terrible, though.

I can see you now.

OK, you're breaking up a bit.

Yeah, I've got her. She's in
the middle of the roundabout.

She's talking to someone.

The other one's gotta be here.
I'll go and check.

sn*per is on his way.

Lola? Lola... I... I'm feeling
really anxious about this.

I don't know if I can do it.

Hey, hey, hey. Just breathe, OK?

What if something goes wrong?

Listen, listen, this is nearly over.

I need you to stay focused.
OK. OK.

Look, just, just stick to the plan.

If anything goes wrong,
you know where to meet.

Copy that.

sn*per in position.

(PHONE RINGS)

Where's David?

He's on his way.

Now... there'll be a man
waiting nearby.

You see him?
Yeah.

Now you give the key to him.

Where are you?

I want you to listen to me
very carefully.

We both want the same thing -

for this to be over.

You don't get anything
until I see my son.

Where's David?

Side street. Dark SUV. See it?

Just bring him here.

No, look, for this to work
we have to be on the same page.

You can see David.

And once I have the key,
he'll walk towards you.

Chelsea, ...see ...ing me the key.
Lola?

Lola? I can't... I can't...
Chelsea?

I can't understand you. Shall I...

Do you want me...
Chelsea, bring the key.

Shall I bring the key now?

Lola, there's somebody...

What?
Someone on the roof near...

Chelsea?

Lola! Get down!

Aarggh!

Chelsea?

No! No!
I... I can't..

I've got Babbage and the key.
Repeat -I've got the key!

You k*ll them both.

I can't hear you!

Chelsea?

I saw him. He was this close
and I stuffed it up.

It's my fault. I'm such a...
No, no, no! It's not your fault.

It's not your fault.
It's not your fault.

They tried to k*ll us.

Have you got the key?!
Yeah.

Hang on, I've got to call him.
I've gotta find out where he's taking him.

No, let's just think about
what we're gonna do, OK?

Let's just think about it.

It's OK.
What are we gonna do?

Well, we've still got the key, OK?

We've still got the key.

Ahhh... yeah.

Good quality key. Yours?

Yes. Do you know
what sort of lock it opens?

Yeah.

Micro dot.

DSV SEC.

DSV SEC is a kind of bank code.

I've used them before
in accounting transactions.

Two, zero...

Legitimate transactions.

...four, five, NZ.

BOTH: New Zealand.

And this is number
is the security box.

Do you know which bank?

Not bank. It's Otago Security Ltd.

Otago Security Ltd?

But you know that, right.
It's your key.

Yeah, yeah, of course.

You know,
my father has a security box,

and they're usually not very big.

See, if I was a drug dealer,

I don't think I would hide my dr*gs
in a security box.

I'd be a terrible drug dealer.

I can't even swallow
vitamin tablets.

I have to break them in half.
It's not dr*gs. It can't be dr*gs.

It's gotta be worth more than that.

Well, what is it then?
I don't know.

What?

If they come back... k*ll them.

Here.

Here. Round the corner to the right.
Follow a dark grey car.

To the right.

I need transferring to
another prison tonight.

What? No, I can't do that.

Oh, you can't, but you wine and dine
with people who can.

No, I can't do...

I still have evidence of
your indiscretions.

Just hang on, mate. I...
Deals that we once made.

I can't... Ray.

Transferred tonight.

Understood?

Don't lose him. He's up there.

Have you still got the passports?

Yes. And the money.

Great.

Ohh!

Oh, he's turning, he's turning.
He's turning right.

Yeah. Turn here! Turn here!

OK, stop! Stop the...
Stop the car thing!

You mean stop the tuk tuk?

(SPEAKS THAI) Keep the change.

Lola, wait! There's another car.

Oh, sorry.

It's David.
Lola! Lola!

Let go!
What are you going to do?

Are you gonna fight them?
Don't be stupid!

We know where he is. OK?

OK, that's enough!

Get out.
(DAVID SIGHS)

Welcome back, David.

You OK?
(SCOFFS)

I want to get out of here.

You were supposed to leave today,
but things didn't turn out that way.

It seems your mother isn't
as keen on your freedom as we are.

She was supposed to give us
something - in exchange for you -

but she refused.

So what's gonna happen now?

Well, that's up to your mother.

You visit Bangkok frequently.

I've asked around.

It seems you've racked up
quite a gambling debt.

I'm going to pay them back.

Oh, well, you'd want to be
quick about it.

They're not nice people, David.

Hey, hey, well, come. Come on.

You'll be safe from them here.

With a bit of luck
you'll be home before you know it.

Actually, why don't you
give your mother a call?

And ask her to see reason.

So you can try and k*ll her again?

Piss off.

My hospitality won't last forever,
David.

Oh... no, no, no.
Here just put 'em in.

It's Rory, isn't it?
G'day, Mr Stanton.

Bit of a tough week, Rory?
Yeah.

Sorry about these.

It's alright, mate. Regulations.

Hey!
Oh!

I've been around it twice.
It's a fortress.

But look, I bought this!
Oh!

What are you gonna do with that?

I think it looks threatening.
What?

Put it away before you cut yourself.

What do you think it is?
I don't know.

Well, we've never gonna get in
through that front door.

Well, maybe there's another way in.

Maybe it's time that
we go to the police.

No.
I mean, we know where David is.

They could surround the building
and storm it.

No-one is storming any building.

My son's in there.

that's just a misunderstanding.

I'm sorry, OK?

Do you know how many times
I have heard you say that?

Hey, do you know
what your mother did

when she found out what happened?

She got on a stinking, putrid ship
with people-smugglers,

she put everything on the line...

Yes, we do.

Something in New Zealand.

Yeah, that'll eventually get us
k*lled if we hang onto it.

Well, I don't think throwing it in the river's
gonna solve that problem.

We can't stay here, can we?

Mm-mm. I know I can't go home.

No, I need to take control of this.

I'm just getting my hands on
whatever that bastard wants so badly.

What if you go there
and he's waiting for you?

Do you think if he knew about
New Zealand he'd be here, chasing us?

How are you gonna get there?

You said using these
was too much of a risk.

I don't have a choice.

I need to finish this.

I'll be gone a couple of days, OK?
Just... look after David for me.

No. No. I'm coming with you.
You are not doing this on your own.

OK?

OK.

(UNLOCKS CAR DOORS ELECTRONICALLY)

Hello, Karen.
(GASPS) sh*t.

Ray.

What the hell are you doing?

Your father tried to k*ll me.

What?

In jail. Did you know that?

(SIGHS) You're a cop.

Plenty of people on the inside
want to see you dead.

He wants to shut me up.
Now, how's that for gratitude?

You're being ridiculous.

You're the father
of his grandchildren.

How is Zach?

Zoe?

They're confused.

I miss you. I want my family back.
I want... I want my children back.

Oh, honey, you're a fugitive now.
I mean, how is that gonna work?

No, listen, listen.
We can... We can go away.

We can get new identities.

Yeah, that will take money.
We can find somewhere else to live.

Well, your father owes me.
I've protected him for years.

If the cops find that key, he goes
to prison for the rest of his life.

If that happens, Ray,
there is no money.

We lose everything.

Wait. Hey...
The women, they still have the key?

Things didn't go according to plan.

Well... Well, if I get the key,
then... then his problems go away.

You...

You... You just tell the children
that I love them, hmm?

(KAREN GASPS)

(COWS MOO)

CHELSEA: Anthony Babbage?


Hey. Where are you going?

It's his daughter, Chelsea.

What time does he land?

No. No, no. It's fine. I'll...
I'll... I'll just call back later.

I have to go away
for a couple of days.

This is for emergencies.

I'll leave you this.

I'll call you as soon as I can, OK?

Sure.

Look, I know I've been a sh*t mum.

This is something I have to do.

You'll be safe here with Tan.

I promise you, David,
I will fix this.

Just... Just breathe.

Yes, OK.
Breathe.

You didn't bring any food, did you?

No.

WOMAN: Next, please.

Hi.

Is everything alright?

It's my first time here.
I'm so excited.

It's a once-in-a-lifetime holiday.

What am I not gonna do?

Um, I think I'll do some hiking.
You call it tramping, don't you?

Tramp... Tramping.
Skiing, obviously.

MAN: There you are, ma'am.
Thanks.

I'll learn the haka.
MAN: Next.

I'm probably not allowed to,
though, am I?

Oh, you know what I'd love to do?
I'd love to go to Hobbiton.

Stay in a hobbit hole.

I love... I love those stories.
So...

You know, I went as an elf
to a fancy dress party once.

Enjoy your holiday.
Thank you.

Next, please.

(BEEPING IN THE DISTANCE)

Uh, Miss, one moment, please.
Me?

You need to come with me.
Sorry, is there...

Is something wrong?
Uh, yes, I'm afraid there is.

Yep.
Oh...

Thank you.

Um, can I...

Um, Bridget Poo-sin?

It's Poussin. It's French.

You do realise, Miss Poussin,

that making a false declaration
is a very serious matter?

(RINGING TONE)

Hey, it's me. You alright?

DAVID: (ON PHONE) I'm fine.

Um, anyone tried to contact you?

Tan says no-one knows about
this place. Stop worrying.

OK, well, I'll be back
in a couple of days, alright?

You said that already.

Yeah, well, I will.
Just... look after yourself.

I'll call you soon, OK?

OK.

I'm being fumigated.

Well, my shoes are.

There you go.

Perhaps next time, you'll consider

our sensitive flora and fauna

before you waltz in with
exotic mud on your boots.

I will consider it.

Right, can we...?
Thank you.

Great. Thanks.

Well done.

Ah...

(GASPS)

(UPBEAT BLUES ROCK PLAYS)

Otago Securities, OK?

These look practically new.

I am so impressed with the
thoroughness of New Zealand Customs,

even if my hands are still shaking.

OK, shh, shh, shh. Just calm down.

Oh, that's easy for you to say.

I was this close to
a foreign prison cell...

Oh...
..and communal toilets.

It's New Zealand.

I'm sure every cell's
got its own dunny with a view.

First time in NZ?

No.
Yes.

Have you been here before?

So how far is it to this place?

Not far.

Right.
(SIGHS)

(UPBEAT BLUES ROCK MUSIC CONTINUES)

Just let me do the talking, alright?

Is there a code?

(WHISPERS) Hi.
Hi.

Um, we'd just like to get into
our, um... our locker... thing.

We'd like to access
our security box, please.

Uh, sign in, please.

Sure.

(BLEEPING)

(OPENS DOOR) This way.

(WHISPERS) Go and distract him.

Have you worked here long... Reg?

Yeah, years.

Oh, that's a long time.
Mmm.

It's, um... it's quite...
contained, isn't it?

There's no windows.

(LAUGHS AWKWARDLY)

(WHISPERS) Chelsea.

(BLEEPING)

Hmm?

(HALF-LAUGHS)

(RINGING TONE)

It's me.
Someone's just opened the box.

OK, we're done. Thanks.
Thank you.

WOMAN: Two keys.
Fresh towels in the bathroom.

Pub meals all night.

And open mic at : ,
if you're interested.

Right, thanks.
Thank you.

(DOOR CLOSES)

Is that it?

That's it.

It's a g*n.
Yeah, it's a g*n.

Serial number's been filed off.
Is that bad?

Might've been used
for something dodgy.

What, like a robbery or something?

Or a m*rder.

Either way, you know what,
we've got what he wants.

Whoever "he" is.

Hang on,
what are we gonna do with it?

We... We can't take a firearm
on the plane.

Oh, yeah,
I think I read that somewhere.

Maybe we can courier it to Thailand.

(SIGHS) I don't know about you,
but I need a drink.

Hey, what if the g*n belongs
to Ray Stanton?

The cop? Nup.

But he must be connected.

Nah, it's gotta be
that prick on the phone.

Once Romeo's off the, uh... the dating
site, we can do some research.

Oh, I'm so jet-lagged.

(LAUGHS) What?
You slept all the way from Bangkok.

Well, you drank all the way
from Bangkok.

Well, yeah.

Anyway, aeroplane sleep
is not real sleep, is it?

It doesn't count.
Sounded like it.

I do not snore.

Yeah, like you don't
obsessively clean everything.

(LAUGHS)

(ROCK MUSIC PLAYS)

What?

You haven't talked about
your dad at all.

Yeah, well... not now.

Listen, when you finish that,
uh, can you get us another drink?

Yes. Where are you going?

Fifty bucks says
you'll miss the next ball.

I'll take that bet.

WOMAN: Come on, All Blacks.
(COMMOTION IN PUB)

Um, I'll just get a white wine
and a vodka, please.

Sure.
Thanks.

(PLAYS sh*t)

Double or nothing?

Pick a ball. Any ball.

Why don't you pick a ball? Any ball.

Ow.
Oh, sorry.

No. No, it's fine.

I've got a spare.

(LAUGHS)

Oh, come on, mate.
I could pot that with me eyes shut.

Then pot it with your eyes shut.

Righto.

Oh...
(LAUGHS)

Thanks.

Hey, I don't, um... I don't think
I've seen you here before.

No. Um, it's my first time here.

Are you Australian?
Yeah.

You're game, coming to the Crown
on the night of the international.

What?

The All Blacks
versus the Wallabies.

Oh, right. I didn't realise.

What? What planet do you live on?
Earth.

(BOTH LAUGH)

What are you doing
over this side of town?

Eh? Oh, I'm just here for the game.
Yeah.

She looks great.

Hey, my advice - if the Aussies win,
pretend to be French.

(LAUGHS) Ce ne sera
pas tres difficile.

J'ai pas Francais parfaitement.

I don't... I mean, yeah, bonjour.
Yeah, bonjour. I'm Will.

I'm Chelsea... Bridget.
Chelsea? Bridget?

Chelsea. (WHISPERS) sh*t.
Chelsea.

Hey, you fancy taking me on?

Pool.

Oh, no, I'm...

No. My friend... Thanks.

(COMMOTION IN PUB)

Thanks.
Locals are friendly.

Yeah, cute too.
I stepped on his foot.

Oh. Deliberately?

Hmm? No. Why would I do that?

Well, 'cause... you...

I'm gonna try my Dad again. Yeah?
Righto.

WOMAN: (ON PHONE)
How can I help you?

Anthony Babbage?

He's in Rome.

It's his daughter, Chelsea again.

I'll put your through.

ANTHONY: (ON PHONE) Chelsea.
Where are you?

Dad. Hi.

You missed the meeting in Sydney.

I know. I had something else on.

All you had to do was turn up and
tell them it was an accounting error.

Dad, listen to me.
I... I need to tell you something.

I think... I think it's possible
that you could be in danger.

What? What are you talking about?

I'm worried about you, Chels.

You can be so... erratic sometimes.

Just like your mother.

Hey, I know you don't
want to face it,

but I... I really think
it's time for...

Time for what?

To get checked, Chelsea.

Chelsea?

Hey.

You and Will... Good luck.

I want new identities

A passage to Ecuador for everyone.
Enough money to keep us comfortable.

And why would I agree to that?

Because you've lost the women, Kel,
and I know where they are.

They're in Thailand.

Not anymore.

(SCOFFS) How do you know?

My contact at Interpol.

I saw their names
on the fake passports, remember?

Uh-huh. Where are they?

No, this is the deal.

I get to the women,

I get back my family and my children.

I'm just going to call it a night.
