01x06 - Venomous

[bunniefuu]

I don't
want to be waiting for you.

I don't want to be
worried about you.

There's nothing left.

Come on! Hey! Hey!

Let's go.

It was Lauren's.

I saw her,

riding around town, living her
life like an ordinary person.

Pharrell isn't ordinary.

Let me out!

She never was.

What the hell was going
on between you and Park?

And if you got
another explanation...

We were f*cking.

They said he was downloading
files. You know anything about that?

Nothing. What files?

Another address, another shed.

Same bike.

The one that chased
us in the cane field.

Probably the same guy.

You know what I'm looking at?

A woman who paid a stack of cash
just after her husband was m*rder*d

and just before someone put
my partner in the hospital.

Keep up,
Lauren! You're so slow!

Did he say
where exactly? Nah.

Brooke, it's not in here.

Ha!

Oh, your brother's
a legend!

You go.

Ohh!

You ready? Yep.

To the best
night of our lives!

Is it true?

When you're ready.

Take as much time as you need.

Agh! Agh!

You wanna wait inside where
there's a proper chair at least?

That doesn't look good.

Uh... Is this where I'm
supposed to say, uh...

.. "You should bee
the other guy"?

Where have you been?
We've got work to do.

So, Sydney's off then?

Um... You were right.

We've got a m*rder case, right?

That's the priority.

So, we're not gonna
talk about it.

I'm fine.

Are you?

Where are we on Park?

We will get to Park.

But first we're gonna deal with the
dickhead who rearranged your face.

I've got a partial footprint.

The shoe's been messed with.

Part of the sole's been carved
away. I know who that is.

Me too.

It's that kid from the store.

Where'd you get this from?

I installed a camera
after my house got tagged.

Yeah, you could
have mentioned that.

OK, so what are you
gonna do about it?

That's my sh*t.

And I'll sort it.

Come on. Park.

Let's go.

What have you got?

Alright, well, Yoon Sun paid a
stack of cash to motorbike guy,

broad daylight, out the
front of the marina shed.

Looks like they went
camera shopping too.

OK. Paid cash for what?

"Thanks, Amanda. Good
job. A real breakthrough."

Final payment for
knocking off the husband?

Yeah, maybe.

Motorbike guy has a boat too.

Really expensive one.

Did you get a name?

Are You Game.

Whatever's being delivered in
those boxes and kept in that shed,

it's being loaded
onto that boat.

It's the only reason
you'd keep it at a marina.

One more thing.

Yoon Sun fired us.

What did you do?

I asked her about the money,
and she wouldn't spill.

Where are you going?

Not exactly
over-resourced, are you?

City stations get the big bucks.

Thanks for coming in. Please.

Do you have some news?

Yeah, we found some
remains in the river

that confirm Park's
death was suspicious.

Are you sure?

Yeah, we're sure.

Thank you for letting me know.

Where were you the night that,
uh... that Park disappeared?

I was at home. I...
I live alone, so...

..there's... no-one
who can vouch for me.

Was he going to leave his wife?

Did you ask him to?

It wasn't like that.

So, uh...

..what was it like then?

We... worked long hours.

Late nights together.

And sometimes those things
just... they happen.

Did he ever describe his
wife as being jealous?

She wouldn't k*ll him.

So, you know her well?

No, but I...

I can't imagine that.

What did they do? To Jong Min?

They?

They, him, her, I don't
know. Whoever did this.

It was a fatal blow
with a blunt instrument.

Why did you say 'they'?

I don't know. I
don't... I don't know.

Park was the public face
of Dellagua, wasn't he?

If someone had a beef with
the company, then, uh...

..he'd be an obvious target.

I'm a public face
of Dellagua too.

Have you received any threats?

Not yet.

Ted's not here.

I know.

Ted's out of hospital,
in case you were worried.

I AM worried.

The whole Sydney thing blew up.
What do you know about that?

I drove him home last night.

Doctors wouldn't sign
him out without a ride.

He said he had somewhere
to be, but... he didn't go.

Yeah, something was
important and then it wasn't.

Whatever it was, he's not OK.

He talk to you?

He doesn't talk.

Well, to me. I mean, he
does, but not like that.

But I'm just gonna
say it again. He's...

He's not OK.

What, you see something?

He was seriously
drunk last night.

Yeah, so? He's always drunk.

He went in the river.

Well, maybe he just lost his
footing and fell in or...

..maybe...

It wasn't an accident.

By the time I realised
what was going on,

he was already swimming
back to the shore, and I...

..I just didn't want
to... embarrass him.

Figured he wanted to
be left on his own.

You didn't hear this from me.

You wanna answer that?
Could be important.

Where have you been?

You wanted to know what was
in those boxes at the marina.

More boxes.

How'd you get past the cameras?

They weren't all on the shed.

They were on the boat.

Holy sh*t. What's in it?

You're the PI.

You tell me.

Uh... Landscapers, eh?

Ain't a lot of money
in lawn decorations.

OK, well, your drug-squad days
are about to come in handy.

What do you reckon?
Coke? Heroin? Pills?

50 bucks says it's...

Just open it.

Well, you wanna do the honours?

Oh, f*ck you. Fine, I'll do it.

Alright, here we go.

Oh, sh*t!

Jesus!

What is this?

You tell us.

I thought I made it clear

I would no longer be
requiring your services.

It's a vessel. For contraband.

Had a live snake in it.

Why?

They were smuggling
them out of the country

in your friend's boat.

Is that why you
gave him the cash?

Are you financing
this operation?

And you fired us 'cause we
were getting too close, right?

Another accusation.

Maybe your husband was involved.

Maybe it got him k*lled.

Or maybe he found out

and he got bumped off because
he was too much of a risk?

That is absurd.

My husband was a
deeply honourable man.

And you, Yoon Sun?

Are you honourable?

I have made mistakes.

They have nothing to
do with smuggling.

You paid us to find answers.

The only way you're
gonna get 'em

is if you're willing to
give up a few secrets.

Your privacy... or your
husband - what's it gonna be?

The cash was a buy-in
to a card game.

Had that become a problem?

I don't lose.

It's not about money.

It's not an addiction.

For me, it's...

..meditation.

Bryce runs the game.

The amounts we play
for are ill*gal.

So, why were you
arguing with him?

There was a lot of police
attention on me after...

Bryce had already
moved the venue once.

And what can you
tell us about him?

He doesn't know
how to read people.

He cannot think more
than two moves ahead.

But he always has money.

Must have been a serious pot
to lure you out to an old shed.

OK, so Bryce writes down the
address on a slip of paper,

which you keep in a
puzzle box in the study.

So, maybe Jong Min
followed you out,

saw something he shouldn't have,

something way more
lucrative than a card game,

something that made
him a liability.

He could not have followed me.

I only ever played
when he wasn't home.

Unless he found the address.

Impossible.

We did.

I heard you were back.

Thank you.

Hi. Hi.

Mm!

Thanks for this. Today
started a very long time ago.

They work you too hard.

It's the only way to make any
money - work 40 million hours.

Well, if you need some
money, I can give you some.

Oh, no. No way.

Thank you, though,
for the offer.

You know I mean this in the
nicest way possible, but...

..I'd hoped I'd
never see you again.

You know, that you'd got out
and you'd just kept going.

If only it were that simple.

Lots of 'if onlys'.

You're too smart to
be a shelf stacker.

No, I do stocktake as well.

Are you, um...

Are you still...

I mean, are you OK?

You mean am I still sober?

This last year's been
pretty touch and go.

Have you seen her?

You know, maybe we
should pay her a visit.

Just confront her.

Together.

I mean, come on, Jo...

How else do we get out of hell?

Anyway...

Ugh, I've been up since four.

Need to squeeze in a nap
before I hit the night shift.

You think about it, OK?

So, does that mean
we're hired again?

I mean, she didn't say it,
but she didn't NOT say it.

Does it matter?

They should never
have let you out.

I don't want to have to
give you mouth-to-mouth

if you keel over in the
middle of the street.

That makes two of us.

Let's, uh...

Let's call it a day.

Are you gonna be OK?

I mean, I bought you some
frozen peas for the swelling.

Do you know how to apply
them? It can be complicated.

I think I'll manage.

Alright.

You lied to me.

You made out like you didn't
know anything about any of it

or who Pharrell was.

And now I find out
that you're with her?

So, what, you go report back
how f*cked up we all still are?

She get a kick out
of it, does she?

Do you?

Next time you see the person
who beat the sh*t out of you,

you tell 'em thanks from me.

I owe 'em a drink.

I'll pass that on.

Arsehole.

If you're here to babysit,
you can turn around right now.

See? I got it all worked out.

Go home.

It's not always
about you, Conkaffey.

This is from the
boxes on the boat.

It's Lars's air courier
company. That's his dog.

Well, that makes sense.

They sail the boxes out to
some island with an airstrip.

Put 'em on a plane.

Lars spent his entire life
building that company.

There is no way he
knew about this.

That's one explanation.

Oh, what, you got another?

I think you need to consider
the possibility here...

..that your friend
was the pilot,

that maybe all that extra fuel he
was buying wasn't for extra flights.

It was for longer ones.

Like, international.

OK, so if that IS true, then he
didn't know what he was flying.

And then maybe he found
out and they k*lled him.

Maybe he knew exactly
what was going on

and wanted a bigger cut

or maybe he wanted out...

..didn't go over so well.

That's bullshit.

You've gotta take
this to Damford.

A broken gnome and a
scrap of cardboard?

Don't do anything
stupid, alright?

Nice night for it.

I know you.

You're that slasher girl.

What are you doing? You, uh...
out looking for your next victim?

I'm looking for YOU.

Permission to come aboard?

Hear you got a game going.

f*ck! You must be
raking it in! Uh...

I think maybe you've got me
confused with somebody else.

What's the buy-in?

It's more than that,
sorry, darlin'.

Don't be sorry, Bryce.

I'm not much of a
poker player, but...

..I've got other skills
that might be useful to you.

Not really looking to
hire anybody right now.

But, uh... I'll keep
your CV on file.

I know how to move things.

Prison taught me that.

Three other reasons.

One - I'm smart.

Two - people don't f*ck with me.

And three - I'm
bored out of my mind.

So, you give me something to raise my
f*ck' heartbeat, I'll get it done.

You're a gutsy little
sh*t, aren't ya?

Yeah.

Just because you've
been to prison...

..does not mean
that I trust you.

Two grand.

You give me that much
worth of stuff to move,

and I'll show you what I can do.

I might have something.

This product...

..it's a bit unusual.

Special kinda client.

No locals.

It's not about repeat
business. I charge a premium.

Backpackers.

That's where it's at.

They're here for a good
time, not a long time.

Keeps it nice and quiet.

What's that?

This is a good time.

Come with instructions?

All it takes is a pin prick.

Just
enough to draw blood.

And you have one
drop of this. One.

And you're off.

If you move this and you
bring me the money...

..I'll give you your
stake back and, uh...

..maybe we'll, uh...

..talk some more.

This project,
lead by engineer Park Jong Min,

is set to launch a
breakthrough technology

designed to safely harvest

valuable minerals required
in battery production

directly from the sea floor.

Years of testing...

Oh, Jesus! You nearly
gave me a heart attack.

Sorry.

You're working late.

Well, if we're both working
late, I'll make us some coffee.

Yeah, those hard drives -

are they Park's?

Yeah, they are.

And when were you gonna
tell me you had them?

I didn't think there was any
point until I'd been through them

to see whether there was anything
we needed to worry about.

Oh, well, I'll tell you
what's worth worrying about -

the fact that when I asked you

if he was downloading
any confidential files

you denied any knowledge of it.

I didn't have them
at that point.

Don't play semantics
with me, Olivia.

You're smarter than that.

Show me.

OK, what am I looking at?

Raw data. Masses of it.

It's all of our modelling.

That's why I'm in here. It's
too big for my laptop to handle.

Why would he download
something like this?

I'm still trying
to figure that out.

Did he ever raise any
concerns with you?

No.

Why?

Park came to see me a
couple of months ago

and said there was a problem.

Well, if there is...

..it'll be in here. I'll find
it. It's just a matter of time.

Yeah, no.

No, I need you concentrating
on the launch...

We may need to delay in
order to figure this out.

No delays.

We got the licence.
We got the investment.

If there's a problem,
and if we caused it,

we'll fix it down the line.

Any more of these stashed away?

I don't know.

Good answer.

It's the only one I
believe from you right now.

sh*t.

f*ck!

Hey!

Hey.

You've gotta
go. Awake, come on.

Thanks for letting
me stay. See ya.

All good.

How's JayJay?

Have you been up all night?

There's just a lot going on
at the moment, that's all.

Don't change the
subject, please.

Oh. Jay's OK.

No, he's not OK, love...

..with some of the
stuff he's done lately.

Look, I am worried that he's
gonna do something stupid

and you're gonna
get caught up in it.

Well, I can look after myself.

Maybe the two of you shouldn't
see each other after school.

No way. Georgie.

He relies on me. His family
life is sh*t, and you know that.

I'm not gonna abandon him.
This is not negotiable.

George, it's not negotiable, OK?
Just 'cause you're having a sh*t time

doesn't mean you need
to take it out on me.

Don't speak to me like that.

And take that bloody
necklace off, will you?

I don't care if it freaks
you out. I love it!

And I'm going to wear it!

I wanna talk to you.
I'm busy, mate...

Look at me.

Look at my face.

Now, you got something
you wanna say to me?

Like what?

How about now?

That level of violence

tells me somebody did some
horrible things to you.

Maybe they're still doing 'em.

But you better get
some help, son...

..because you are this close
to slipping over the edge.

And there ain't no
coming back, is there?

You gonna tell the cops?

You do that again, I will
take you down myself.

And I won't need a
lead pipe to do it.

And the next time

you've got a problem
with somebody,

you look 'em in the eye

and you tell them about it.

Here to take the, uh...
dog bed off your hands.

This pup is trou-ble.

He tore a hole in my
brother's screen door

trying to get at a bird.

That's what you get for
trying to adopt a working dog.

It's how they're built.

Uh... The niece says thank you.

I've been thinking
about your buddy Lars.

You were right.

There's no reason to believe he
knew what was in those boxes.

He knew.

He always flew with Daisy.
That's why she was the logo.

But once a month he'd leave
her with me for a few days.

I always thought it was because
he wanted me to have some company,

but it turns out it's
not always about me.

He knew what he was flying for
them and he knew it was live cargo

and he knew that...

..she would sniff
it out and go nuts.

And he couldn't
leave her at home

because that would raise too
many questions with Ingrid.

So, he dumped her with me.

He's not the guy I thought knew.

I had a chat with Bryce down
at the marina last night.

You what?

Yeah, I thought
if I asked nicely,

he would hand over
some evidence.

Turns out he's dealing
venom to tourists.

As a party drug?

Jesus.

How are those ribs?

I'll live.

You wanna try that again, mate,
and maybe knock this time?

You got yourself a
little clubhouse here?

You got yourself a warrant?

No, I don't need a warrant.

Not if I suspect someone's
withholding information

that would help me do my job.

Information like that.

Nah, it's just a shopping list.

Sensitive.

Are you having fun yet?

Ah, you really hit rock bottom

and then you just kept
falling, didn't you?

I'm not going anywhere.

Neither is she.

Yeah, I can see that.

I'll leave you to it,

get back to your shop.

That it?

Another callout from
the Dolan place.

You wanna do the
honours this time?

I'm not gonna ask you
why you want those photos

or what you're going
to do with them,

but you are lucky
it's me who saw you.

You know, I was alright when
she was running around town

looking for lost dogs.

I could pretend she wasn't here.

But now she's bloody everywhere.

Conkaffey's in the mix.
He's skilling her up.

He's teaching her sh*t.
They're digging in.

You need to leave it alone.

Go home. Take a
day. I'll cover you.

I'm fine, Carrie. I
don't think that you are.

Please go home.

Carrie Hench.

Now what?

I've gotta get a statement
from you, about your as*ault.

Don't worry about it.

You know that's
not how this works.

You are a victim of a crime.

I've got forms to fill.

Now?

Yeah, now.

I'll meet you down there.

I'll give you a lift.

My car's right here.

We'll take mine.

Open it.

Get out.

Move.

I know you think I'm some
half-wit country cop...

..who spends his days
busting people for littering.

But that m*rder?

What she did to that girl?

That was uglier than anything
you've seen in your big-city life.

This is a small town.

They were people we knew.

Everyone was affected.
They're still affected.

And now there's
been another k*lling

and you're poking
your nose in it

like it's your f*ck' hobby

with the person who
tore this town apart.

That shed belongs to Pharrell.

Take a look inside.

See what she keeps
locked up in there.

What?

So, what, you...

..investigate crimes now?

That's insulting.

I suppose they think
you're... some sort of expert.

I don't know.

Oh.

Found a legal way
to hurt people.

I've thought about
this so many times.

About what I'd say
to you and how I'd...

..demand answers from you.

What do you want to know?

Nothing.

Now that I look at you...

..you can't help me.

'Cause the why
doesn't really matter.

But it matters to me.

No, I don't care
what matters to you.

I don't know why I k*lled
Lauren. Don't say her name.

I didn't have a reason, if
that's what you want to know.

I wasn't on anything.

I just have this
thing inside me...

No. ..and it got out.

See...

..all this...

..the shaved head and the tattoos
and this... vampire's den,

this is all bullshit.

You want everyone to think
you're some kind of monster.

You're not, Amanda.
You're a little girl.

You are a terrified child

scared of her own mind.

What is wrong with you?

I m*rder*d your daughter.

You should be screaming at
me, not talking to me...

Yeah. ..like some
f*cking shrink!

The worst possible thing that can
happen to a person happened to me,

and you did that,

and I've got nothing
left to fear.

But, see, I think you do.

I feel sorry for you.

You don't look so good.

Have a seat... Don't
f*ck' touch me.

OK.

Here, have some. Have some.

More. More.

Right.

Don't go anywhere.

Buy you a drink?

Sure.

Yes!

So... what's it like to, uh...

..you know...

..k*ll someone?

Wanna hear that story?

Hell, yeah! Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Right. Might
need another drink then.

Bloody Mary! Eh?!

Alright!

Yeah, hell, yeah.

Out in the rainforest,

there was this big old car.

It was half-buried in the dirt,

rusted out, rotting
like a f*ck' corpse.

Oh, man, I always wanted to
k*ll someone in that car.

It didn't matter who.

I dreamt about it.

I did.

And then one night

there was this party...

..and there was this girl.

And that girl's name was Lauren.

And Lauren was beautiful,

and everyone f*cking loved her,

except for me.

What are you doing?

This is Maali. Maali,
these are my friends.

Hey, Maali! How're you doing?

You should join us. I'm telling them
a story you ain't never heard before.

You've had too much
to drink.

Leave her alone, alright?

I'm in the middle of a story,

and these guys wanna
know how it ends.

Don't you?! Huh?!

Hey, I don't need you.

I don't need you.

Go find some other
b*tch to sniff around.

Bye-bye. Bye, Maali!

Bye!

Yeah?

Get your arse to the Shark
Bar. She's in trouble.

I pulled her into the
car and I slammed the door shut!

And then it was
just the two of us.

There's nowhere to
run, nowhere to hide.

She cried out. She
begged me not to.

She cried out like a baby girl.

She cried until she could barely
breathe, till she had no voice left.

I had a knife hidden under
the seat, so I grabbed it

and waited.

I waited till she was staring at
me, looking me straight in the eyes,

and then...

It was so easy.

It was like soft butter.

There was blood.

Red everywhere.

It was warm and sticky.

And I stabbed her

again and again and again.

She called out for help,
but it was never gonna come.

Let's get you out of here.

Hands off, mate. She's with us!

Hey, back off, pal.

Come on. f*ck off! No
touching, remember?!

Hands off, mate!

Back off.

Amanda!

What the hell was that?

A little bedtime story.

You're drunk. It's
f*ck' hot. Are you hot?

Come on. Let me help you.

I don't need your help. I don't
need you. What are you doing here?!

I've seen the shed.

I've seen that car.

Damford. Damford showed me.

You betrayed me with
f*cking Damford?

Hey, hey...

You arsehole! Jesus!

I f*cking trusted you!

He's right. You're
not OK.

The car, whatever the hell
that was back in the bar...

Hey! You're not OK.

No sh*t I'm not OK!

I'm a m*rder*r, Ted.

But you knew that from day one,

so don't you act all holier
than thou and shocked.

I never hid... Look at me. I
never hid anything from you!

You're the secret f*ck-up!

You try and off
yourself in the river?

Huh?

You wanna talk about THAT?

Yeah, I didn't think so.

Hey! Agh!

Why don't you try again?

Except this time...

..do it properly!

Hey!

Amanda!

Amanda!

Amanda?!

Amanda!

Amanda!

Amanda?!

Amanda!

You tell Roy Gilpin I've got a
special croc pit going for him.

You and Park worked
so closely together.

I don't believe he would
have destroyed that evidence.

It's hidden away
somewhere, yet to be found.

Jo...

Just another way to
keep someone close.

I didn't realise just how
interested you were in venom.

You think he k*lled
Park? TED: Do you?
