BIRDS CHIRP

CAR APPROACHES

Gidday, love. Got yourself
a new set of wheels?

What's the pile of
crap you're driving?

Are you calling my van crap?

It looks like that piece
of sh*t Ted used to have.

Jesus, woman, there's
a f*cking welcome (!)

What are you doing here?

You called me, didn't you?

I got a message saying I was needed;
here I am. Maybe you'd had a couple
of rums.

What if I did?

You right, love?
Yeah, I'm great.

You're looking a wee
bit shabby on it.

It's great to see you too, Wolf.

So, what are you doing up here?

I just wanted to be here, all right?

In that case,
I'm your man. Hungry?

(LAUGHS) You're a bloody miracle.

That's me, all right.

HELLO SAILOR'S 'GUTTER BLACK'

♪ Lying in the gutter,

♪ I cut the cord from my mother.

♪ She pat me on the head and said,

♪ 'Go to sea, boy.
Get to sea, man.'

♪ My luck in the gutter black.

♪ I guess I'm running back...

♪ ...to you.

♪ You in my brain.
You in my heart. ♪

So I've divided up the maps
and marked the places where
Mum usually goes.

Van and Munter are already searching
round by Pak'n Save. That's your
one, and that is Loretta's.

Where the hell is Loretta?
She's such a lazy slob.

Morning.

Hey.
Hi.

Who asked you in the house?

I did, because he's helping.

Useless prick. He'd need
a map to pick his nose.

We have the rego of the car
from CCTV outside the hospital.

I've forwarded that on. Do you
know where she might have headed?

No.

She hasn't been in touch?

No.

We'll find her, don't worry.

Like you did Sheree? You couldn't
find a whore in a brothel.

That wasn't Zane's fault.

Zane?
It's his name.

Not what I call him — rancid pork
scratching! A boil on the arse—

Ted, shut it. You might not give
a sh*t, but we need to find her.

Unless you have a better way,
we'll take his help.

I've stressed that this is
a priority, given her, uh,
possible state of mind.

Slutty's not mental.

OK. We're just covering
all the bases.
What bases?

I think they're talking
about su1c1de.

No, Mum wouldn't do that.

If you lost a baby, you mightn't
have any reason to live.

You may have a fatal
accident, cos you were—

Kasey!
...you couldn't concentrate.
I'm sorry.

Look, we just have to keep
looking, and we'll find her.

Yeah. OK, keep looking. Bye, Wayne.

OK.

I'll show you out.
Yeah, cheers.

It'll be fine, sweetie. I promise.

Loretta?

Loretta!

Loretta, you have to get up and come
and help us with the searching.

Piss off!

Oh my God, what have you been doing?

Morning, Pascalle.

Did you just do it with him?

Not just now.
But you did do it?

Piss off, OK?

I, um, I might go grab a
shower and see to Jane.

Yeah, you do that.

What the hell are you are doing?

Nothing.

Mum is missing, and you're slutting
about with Hayden Peters?

If anyone is a slut
here, it's not me.

You hate him. ]
Look, is this really
important right now?

Did you dump Graeme so you
could get it on with him?

Heard from Mum?

No, and don't change the subject.
I demand to know what the hell is
going on here. Loretta.

God, these are good. Did you really
get these from that place in
Kaiwakarewa?

Of course.
How'd you get them to open so early?

I have my ways.

Last time I saw you, you
reckoned you were pregnant.

I was.

What happened?

He came early.
It didn't turn out so well.

I might have a shower
and get changed.

Yeah. Good idea.

'So I had a shower, got dressed.
but I couldn't face it.

'So I kept on walking. Couldn't go
back, couldn't go home, didn't have
my car.'

So you stole a f*cking car?
No, I didn't steal a car.

Yes, you did.
No, I borrowed it.

What if you're not going back?

I'll work it out. It was
the only way I could do it.

Hey, hey, love. I'm not criticising,
all right? I reckon it's great
getting back on that horse.

How'd you break the ignition?
Nail file.

Ooh, that's my girl.

Bugger off.

Hello!

WHISPERS: sh*t. Ranger Dennis.

You. I thought I made
myself clear last year.

Gidday, Dennis. How are you, mate?

I'm not your mate, you hooligan.

Ooh, let's watch our
language, Dennis. Beer?

I don't want your beer. You're not
staying here, not again. You don't
have a booking.

And you will not camp illegally,
drink, litter or light fires.

We're not camping, Dennis.

I don't believe you.

We are enjoying the peace and quiet
of this beautiful beach, as is our
right in a free country.

Or we would be enjoying it if
it weren't for a jumped-up prick

who's sh1tting over it with his n*zi
bullshit. Is it what you're doing,
Dennis?

I'm giving you a warning.

Good, you've given us your warning.
Now you why don't you f*ck right
off?!

All right, but I'm not going
anywhere. And you better pick
up those cans and the paper,

especially the plastic rings.
If you're a bird or a seal,
they're a death trap.

(LAUGHS)

BOTH LAUGH

I've missed him.
Yeah, so have I.

BOTH LAUGH

She's not here, bro.

I'll check the bogs.

Why would she be in
the bogs at the Rusty?

Well, I don't know,
but we've got to check.

She's not here.

Should we check the men's?

She wouldn't go in there. It stinks
like sh*t. Hey, um, give us a look
at the map for a sec?

What was that?

I don't know.

You gave him the nod.

I couldn't help it, bro. My head
just did it. We're at the Rusty;
it was a*t*matic.

There's no such thing
as an auto beer!

[ I didn't mean it.
Now he's pouring it.

It's not my fault my
head got confused!
You got to pay for it now.

If I've got to pay for it,
then we might as well drink it.

You know, it would be
a waste otherwise.

OK, but just a small one, OK?
We don't want to miss her.

We could have already missed her.
There's no way we'd know that we
did.

Yeah.

It's a freaky thing, bro, thinking
about that little baby and how it
can go so wrong out of nowhere, bro.

Well, it wasn't out of nowhere.

She knew there was something wrong?

No, it was prick face.

Not Mr J?
No, my prick of a brother, man.

Anyway, Mandy, yeah, I know you
and Mum haven't talked for quite
a while,

but if she does by any chance show
up, um, could you give me a call
back on this number,

cos, um, we're all getting pretty
worried about her. OK, thanks.

REFLECTIVE MUSIC

Come on. Get it all off.

Piss off. I haven't got any togs.

Well, it's nothing I haven't
seen before, love.

Nah. It's too cold
for skinny-dipping.

There's always ways to warm up.
Is that right?

You could light a fire. That'll do
it. You might need one if you're
planning on staying.

Maybe.

What about the kids?

What about them?

You'd bugger off and leave them?

They're not little any more, Wolf,
and they never bloody listen to me.

Jethro doesn't,
that's for f*cking sure.

Oh, what's he done now?

Oh, it doesn't matter now.

You always were too
soft on that boy.

What? You've never
played favourites?

How is my princess?

She's poorer than she used to
be, thanks to your psycho ex.

(LAUGHS) At least she's
not with Nicky Greegan.

Nah, she's with a cop now.

Oh sh*t. How is that an improvement?

Oh, he's all right.

You would say that, wouldn't you?

I thought we were talking
about the kids.

How's our difficult youngest?

She's good. She's actually
the best of the lot.
Loretta?

She never says anything nice or
popular, but she always tells the
truth.

I should've listened to
her a hell of a lot more.

Jesus wept, the world
really has gone mad.

Right, that's it.

I've already warned you.
We haven't done anything.

There is a total fire ban in the
area, as indicated on the signs.

I don't see any fire.

What's that, then?

That...

is a pile of driftwood.

It didn't get piled
all by itself, did it?

Nature's a wonderful thing, Dennis.

You think you're so clever,
but if everyone did that,

the environment would be at risk
from fire, contamination from ashes,
and then where would we be?

Yeah, but we didn't light this
fire, so there are no ashes.

And I am not everyone.
I'm a mother who's lost a child.

And it's not some bird or some seal
— it's a baby. So can you just piss
off and leave us in peace?!

Because that is all I came here
for was some f*cking peace!

OK.

But you'd better not light that, or
anything else. And I'll be watching
you.

sh*t. Empty.

Bugger this. Time for a real drink.
There's rum in the car.

No, I'm not that f*cking desperate.

Yeah, look, I'm calling everyone I
can think of. If I hear anything...

Thanks, Jethro.

You're thanking Jethro?
He's trying to help.

Yeah, right (!)

We might head out and hit the park.

Are you coming back?

Of course I'll be coming back.

To see Loretta?

Mainly, I'll be bringing Jane back.

Wayne Judd speaking.

If that's Jethro again,
he can go f*ck himself.

OK, thanks.

No, it'll be fine.
I'll see you soon.

(SIGHS) That was the, uh, funeral
directors. They want to bring him
home, but I want to be with him.

Well, I'll come with you.

You don't have to.
But I want to.

It'll be fine. I'll just have
a shower, and I'll get changed.

I'll go with him.

No, I will. It's not like you've
been very helpful or sensitive.

Well, I'm not going.

No, because you have to search in
your designated area and then
report to HQ.

You mean you?

Someone's got to care.

Mum will be on a bender. She'll be
passed out somewhere and come home
with the mother of all hangovers.

That is a terrible thing to say.

It's an accurate thing to say.

WATER RUNS

Ted, about to have a shower here.

I just want you to know that
I do care about Slutty Pants.

Well, that's great, Ted.

I haven't finished.
I've got a son — just the one.

He might not even be mine, but to
lose him, it would cr*ck my heart.

Thanks for that, Ted.

I haven't finished yet. I might be
going away for a very long time,

but there are things in my life that
mean something. You haven't turned
out to be such a bad bastard.

So it would be my honour and
privilege to break my bail
conditions

and go with you to
the funeral parlour.

You don't have to do that, Ted.

You're like a son to me.

I've never thought of you
as a father figure, Ted.

I've showed you traps for young
players, gave you biscuit in lean
times.

Yeah, OK. Fine.

So I can go, then?

As long as it gets me a shower.

Bonzer.

sh*t, look at this place.

Home sweet home. Gidday.

Hey, I'll get this.
No, no. It's on me.

Wolf, I've got money.
Listen, would you stop bloody
arguing for one bloody minute?

I'm buying you a drink.
Now sit your arse down.

Hey, love. Uh, can I have a bourbon
neat and a rum and coke?

to drive and read the map,

and then I couldn't stop crying,
and I couldn't see the road.

It's OK, Kasey.

I can't believe Cheryl ran off
at a time like this. Poor Wayne.

We all feel like that,
but she's still my mother.

I just feel so terrible.

What's it got to do with you?

We were there, you know?
We were winding her up.

Well, you were.

Well, and you were.

How didn't she know there
was something wrong?

Why didn't she have an amnio? I'm
going to have one, and I'm only —

Because she didn't want one.
She said she'd never be able to
terminate if something went wrong

and it wouldn't have shown
up on the amnio, anyway.

Right.

Well, hey, um, I cleared a
space on the table for the,

you know, for the coffin.

Oh, that's great, Kasey, but you
can't put a body on a table. It's

Kind of lost the reason when a

Yeah, she did.

Mm. Stroppy woman, she is.

What would she know, anyway?

She seemed certain at the time.

I'm not a bloody r*cist. It's just
not right, that's all. He's from
West Auckland, not bloody Wanganui.

Maybe you should take
it up with Wayne.

I will, don't you worry.

Well, we have to go.
Maybe you could take Hayden.

Shut up.

Didn't you guys talk

I'm not getting into a w*r of words.
Because you'd lose?

No. Being there for
Wayne is more important.

In Wanganui.

Even if we have to eat fatty foods,
we have to be there for Wayne. He's
so amazing. He's some kind of sain.

Mum's going to go ballistic.

Well, she's not here. ]

It's kind of creeping me out.

According to you, she's just
gone off and got pissed.

It's what she did when Nana Trish
dropped dead and Poppa Dave.

She hated them. She thought they
were mean, even though they always
gave me Kbars

and Milk Bottles
and frozen Buzz Bars.

I never got any Buzz Bars.

Cos you were too busy hanging out
with Grandma Rita, who they hated.

But she couldn't hate her own
helpless baby, who had something
wrong with it. It's no one's fault.

Oh, sh**t sh**t.
What?

I should have seen it sooner.

What? So she is on the piss?

No.

Yeah, he's home, Mum.

Wayne!

OK. (SNIFFS) I'd better go.

Wayne!
I love you, Mum.

Wayne, I know where she is.

(EXHALES) Did she call?

No, but I know.
She's at Tutaekuri Bay.

She would go to a beach
at a time like this?

Well, she's got her reasons.

I cannot think of a reason why a
mother would leave a child now —

just to walk out without
a single f*cking word.

Don't be mad, OK?

Why the hell not? Cos if you love
someone, I don't see how the hell
you could do something like this.

I know it's tough, but for f*ck's
sake, it's as if she doesn't give
a sh*t about that boy.

No, you don't understand.

What's to understand?

It's happened to her before.

What has?

She had a baby named Helena before
the twins, and she was born dead.

And her ashes are there
at Tutaekuri Bay.

Why didn't I know about that?

Well, she doesn't really
like to talk about it.
Right.

When it comes to doing stuff,
she's great, but when it comes
to feelings, she's crap.

Yeah, if you say so.

I'll find her. It will be all right.

Pascalle, you don't
know if she's there.

I do! I'm going to find her,
and then I'll call you.

You'll never do it.
The view's all right, but.

If I win, you owe me.

You won't win.

What will I owe ya?

Whatever I ask for.

Deal?
Fine. You won't do it, though.

Suck on that, buster.

God, you're an annoying tart.

(LAUGHS)
You want a Trumpet?

What's wrong with a Trumpet?

You could have gone
for more than that.

Maybe it's all I want.

You called me, and I drive all this
way, and you want a f*cking Trumpet?

Oh sh*t.

Well, I'm not begging,
not this time.

No, no, no. It's closed.

f*ck, she's a lazy cow.

Well, there are ways
to deal to that.

You do owe me a Trumpet.

You'll be leaving money, then?

Oh, sh*t, no. That cow always
overcharged, remember?

And then she tried to ban us cos she
said Loretta was always shoplifting.

She was shoplifting.

Yeah, but she didn't need to ban us.

But if that's the reason we're doing
this, like, we're tragic serial
grief bonkers or something,

then we can't, because it's just the
situation. And the last time we did
that, things got really messy.

It wasn't so bad, was it?

Um, what about the part where
I burnt your house down?

You know what? f*ck the

Yeah, me too.

I would live to regret it.

And do you?

No.

I don't regret anything.

Want to go break some rules?

sh*t, yeah.

God, it's beautiful here.

Couldn't live here, but.

We could get a bach.

We could.

(SIGHS) You know how I feel;

you know what I want.

I told you I'm not going to beg.

You and me —

I can't get away
from that. Not ever.

What about him? The cop?

He's not a cop.

He must have done something for
you to come all the way up here.

He didn't do anything.
Bullshit.

I just wouldn't listen to him
when he told me to slow down.

I knew he did something.

No, it wasn't his fault.
It was mine.

'He was born without
a bit of his heart.

'The left ventricle was missing, so
when he was born, there was nothing
they could do.'

How is that your fault?

Happened before. It was like before.

That is not what
happened with Helena.

But it's still me.

There's something wrong with me, and
he must have known that — the way he
was looking at me.

Do you want to hold him?

That's why you took off?

It's my fault. (VOICE CRACKS) And I
can't stand it, and I can't go back.

That's why you walked out?
That's why you walked out on him?

You're not supposed to say that.
You hate him. You wanted me to
leave him.

Since when were you
my f*cking conscience?

You brought me here.

Because you've been here before,
and you know what it's like. And
I couldn't handle it then either.

WHISPERS: But you did handle it.

Are you ready to do it?

I'll never be ready.
You know I won't. I can't.

You can, love.

sh*t.

sh*t.

Oh my God.

Are you ready to do it?

I'll never be ready.
You know I won't. I can't.

You can, love.

What the hell do you
think you're doing?

We're scattering ashes.

You're what?
You heard me.

You will do no such
thing — not here.

And why the hell not?

You cannot scatter ashes or
human remains of any sort.

You know what? You can f*ck off!

Hey, look here, you young hooligan.

I'm not a hooligan. I'm a father,
and Cheryl here — she's a mother.

What do you think it was like for
her to think she was having a baby,

then find out that baby d*ed inside
her and then still have to have her?

'She was perfect; no one
knows why she d*ed.'

And if this is the place where we
want our little baby to rest,
our little Helena,

then who are you to
tell us where to go?

[ I am very sorry for your loss.

And I will make an exception in
this instance, but, um, keep it
above the shoreline, all right?

f*ck! f*ck him!

Wolf, don't.

It's OK. It'll be OK.

We can do this.

sh*t.

We can do this, OK?

THE PHOENIX FOUNDATION'S

Helena, we loved you
so much, sweetheart.

We still love you.

We will love you.

I love you forever.

I know, and we'll have more kids,
and we'll bring them here,
and we'll see her every year.

We'll party on and annoy the
f*ck out of that ranger dude.

Yeah.

THE PHOENIX FOUNDATION'S
'ST KEVIN'

You can be a stroppy cow sometimes.

Wolf?

Oh, sh*t.

Wolf?

Wolf? (CRIES)

CRIES: Wolf?

PASCALLE: Mum?

Mum?

Mum?

Mum?

Oh my God, I knew you would be
here. I knew it. Are you OK?

Yeah.

It's gone crazy. Why didn't you call
me back? I must have left you
messages.

Oh, I don't know.

There's no reception, but you should
have called me from somewhere.
We have to get you home.

(SNIFFS) Yeah.

Have you been drinking, Mum?
Loretta said you would.

Just a bit.

Well, this stays here.

No, no, love. We need
to get that back.

No, Zane can take care of it.

Aaron Spiller can get it with his
tow truck tomorrow. He'd do anything
for me. You need to go home.

How did—? How did you
know I'd be here?

Well, because of Helena,

and because I know you, Mum.
It still was a pretty wiggy
thing that you did.

Wayne doesn't really get it, and he
just thinks that you're mad at him,
and he's really angry and upset.

I just went a little
bit crazy, that's all.

Well, you know, that's OK. And I'm
here now, and we can get you some
medication.

But you so need to talk to Wayne.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah. ]

WHISPERS: Oh, OK, good girl. ]

PHONE RINGS

Hello, Pascalle. Yes, you were
right. We know; you've already
told us.

Oh, hi.

It's for you.

Hi.

Oh, hey. Kia ora.

How you doing, boy?

I'm OK, Dad.

I heard from your mother about what
she's arranged. She won't take my
advice.

She wants Uncle Rangi to lead it,
which is fine, but the man never
bloody shuts up.

Yeah, it'll be fine, Dad.

We'll be there for days, and
that's just the first karakia.

Whatever, Dad.

Yeah, Wayne?
Yeah?

I love you, tama.

VOICE CRACKS: My heart is
breaking for you, tama.

Yep.

BEEP!

KNOCK AT DOOR

Oh, Mr J, she's here.

Cool.

Hey, love.

Um,...

Mum, I'm...

No.

No, it's all right.

It's all right.

It's OK.

OK, you guys can talk about this
later. We need to get you upstairs
to a hot bath and some food.

Come on.

Mum.

[ JANE BABBLES

Janie.

Hello, sweetheart.

Is she all right?

Yeah, of course she is.

Good.
