Oh my God.

What the f*ck just happened?

- These guys don't know how to
drive a boat, that's what's happened.

- Those people are out
here, that's what you made up.

- Well, I'll take it home and
have a look at it anyway.

- My man, we'll be in touch.

- You look like the talking son.

- No, cover story was solid.

You should've seen gravel crying and sh*t.

(laughing)

- You should've been
gonna talk, 'cause if

they did, you'd have to
do something about it.

- If it really is anxious, you can
just pull them back in, but if it's not.

- I don't really wanna think about it.

(upbeat music)

(water splashing)

.

.

- What do we do?

- I think as they haven't done
anything wrong, other than lie.

- Then let the boat, huh?

- Number plates.

Why don't we just take
down their number plates?

- Do we really wanna get mixed up enough?

- Well, we already are a little bit.

You know, if we take down the number plates,
then it shows that we're not involved.

Makes sense?

- Yeah, I guess so.

- Hey, you know he told just
people when they f*ck up?

- Who?

- Don't end the blazer.

- Man, he should be torturing himself

'cause he's the only one
that's f*cked up so far.

Hey, he's good.

- No.

- I'm just saying, I use as a blowtorch.

- Backlight.

(grunts)

- Ah.

- If he tries to touch me, you know,

I f*cking split him down.

I just mean, you know, maybe we should
be a bit more, you know, nicer to him.

- Hey, been looking up at our
launch plates and this show sits so far.

- I'm touching my hand.

.

-

- He wants that one.

- Yeah, see that bubble fixing
the one we got and using that.

.

- .

- Oh, he insists on getting that one.

- Yeah, well, I've been told from
my boss to use the one we have.

-

- .

- His boss, sir,

just wants to get the deal done.

And if that means buying a new
boat, we should buy a new boat.

Yeah, well, my boss thinks he's a f*cking...
- Okay.

- Everyone.

- We all hear from the same reason.

We all want the same thing
with as little suspicion as possible.

So let's drop the generator off.

Got to eat, see where he's at.

And then make a decision.

- Huh?

- You're Greece.

.

(singing in )

(singing in )

(upbeat music)

(upbeat music)

- Wade.

- Stevie, how are you mate?

- Yeah, it could be worse.

- Sir.

One.

- Excuse me, sir.

Can we go out today?

- You're joking, right?

- No, why would I be joking?

- 'Cause you made your
quest to bloat on the beach.

Boom, remember?

- Oh, boom.

- So how long?

- Well, your pushrods have
been, the head gas gets blown.

- You're a mess mate.

I'm gonna have to order some
parts and release the week.

- So he believes that we need
another boat to keep going.

- Tell him shut the f*ck up
about asking about another boat.

- We have one that's getting fit.

- Mac, Sam, what other boat?

(clearing throat)

- Just, thanks, Ed.

Hey, we're just gonna have a quick combo

and figure out the best
way to get the job done now.

- Hey, what are you doing?

- Oh, sorry.

Ed and I, we were thinking
of buying a camper Van.

- Oh really?

- Yeah, yeah, so I was just taking
down the maker model of your one.

Any good?

- Yeah, it's nice and big inside.

I know Stevie takes a lot of naps.

Hey, Stevie, you used to showering inside?

- Anyway, sorry, I've
just gotta get back inside.

I've got some chow-chow on the boil.

You know.

(somber music).

.

- It's high setting, sounds like we
need another boat to get the job done.

- So you can crash another one.

- No, no, no, no, we
should get this one fixed.

We need to keep our cover story going.

- And I can't sell it broken.

- That's really not the
issue here, Greville.

- Just trying to protect my investment bar.

It's worth my job. - Your investment.

So I gotta pay for it.

- Fine!

.

- What is the one now?

- I have a craft.

- No, it's just that the crew out there

have no food or water
and they're gonna die soon.

- Are you fucks kidding me?

- No food or water.

- No, no, I got that part.

This guy gets better and better.

- That's why you need
the veggies in water bar.

- Yes, so it's kind of urgent and we
cannot wait for this boat to be fixed.

- I don't wanna be done for m*rder.

- You're not gonna be
done for m*rder, Louis.

- All right, look, let's just keep working
on this boat so no one gets suspicious

by another boat to cover our bases, Mac.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

- No, f*cking useless.

(yelling).

- Come on, be evil, chill with the old.

- Oh, just, it just wants
to get the job done.

- That's what we're f*cking doing.

- Okay, everyone just take home.

- All right.

- Grab a little.

- Louis, get the food, pitch, one
water and put it on the camera Van.

(groans).

(groans).

- These look a bit off.

- Well, leave them for us if you want.

We boil them all up and
feed them to the dogs.

Cool.

- Uh, Ed, yeah, mate.

- Hey, sorry, bother you, sir.

Look, if you wouldn't mind, if you
could please keep working on that engine,

you know, just in case it turns out to
be quicker than you thought they were.

That would be really great.

- He'll do it, mate.

- Don't expect any miracles.

- Thanks, mate, there.

Really mean a lot to get those ashes away.

- What are you moving those for?

- Just trying to make some space bar.

- All good?

- Yeah.

- So we know they're lying,

but they don't know that
we know that they're lying.

So,

wouldn't you just take the
urn with your dead brother in it?

- Yeah, you would think so.

- Who are you?

- What?

- It's a GPS.

- Oh,

see if they've marked a spot.

- It's in Chinese.

I'll switch it to English.

- Yeah.

- Wow.

What the hell is out there?

- Take a photo.

More evidence.

- So what do we do?

- Nothing.

We've got their broken boat.

Got their number plates,

now we've got the GPS.

- But shouldn't we call someone?

- Say what?

Some tongue and guys gave a
Chinese guy a urn and crashed the boat.

- Yeah, Troy, I guess you can't or
reach someone just for being useless.

- Folt it.

- Okay.

- They won't be going anywhere
without us knowing about it.

- Yep.

- I'll put this back.

(upbeat music)

(upbeat music)

(laughing)

- Nihao.

- Nihao.

- I've got a pleasure to meet you.

- I'm so sorry for all this mess.

-

- He says, we also need to apologize.

The boat breaking down was unexpected, but
we will complete the delivery as promised.

- Okay.

- Okay.

- I know you wanna play no song.

- Please sit.

Now, there's new boats.

That's not a question of money,

but we did have an agreement
to land out on the beach.

.

- He suggests that we take the
cost of the boat off the next order,

and he once again apologizes
for the inconvenience.

Delivery, of course, is guaranteed.

- Also, I understand that
there's an issue with the crew.

I don't know of a step,
but is this a problem?

.

- He thanks you for your concern,

but he will do anything to make
sure the delivery is complete.

- Well, thank you for your professionalism.

I thought you said he
was difficult to work with.

He's a pussycat.

(laughs)

- Well, cat.

(laughs)

- Good.

- Wow, that's good.

Give me the money.

- This is money and cake for the boat.

(laughs)

- Yeah?

I don't want to hug.

- He asked if he can be
in charge of the money,

if that's okay, in charge of it.

- Yeah, when you in charge,
when you drive the money, f*ck it.

- Like I shut the f*ck up.

- He says he's extremely satisfied

with the support of your
team, especially back.

But he has very specific orders from--
- Those exact words.

- Yeah.

(laughs)

- See you, see?

- Sir?

- Ah.

(knocking)

- All the sweet and sour, everything.

- Hey, how's that?

- It's okay.

- Hey, f*ck, I just texted him.

He said talk like he's dipping for you.

- Oh, okay, Christ.

- Do you think talk
like it's like up to it?

Like taking your place?

It's just his, like how he thinks
he's different from your life.

- Please, just talk
to talk like, all right.

- Okay.

I'll open up a window, yeah?

It's just 'cause it's getting
pretty steamy in here.

Not steamy, like steamy, like steamy, but
like, 'cause steam, 'cause of the steam.

- Louis, I don't know what you mean.

- Okay.

- Whoa.

- What the hell am I, bro?

It's just f*cking weird.

People doing heapswish sh*t around here.

- f*ck man, the piece of cuffs.

I just told him I risked that dude
who's been selling us weed with f*ck.

Hey, steamy?

Hey, you know, T-Rayo?

- Louis, if the cops wanted to arrest you,

they wanna done it by now.

They're onto it, but we are more onto it.

We're just super-poo
gentlemen on a spiritual journey.

.

.

.

(knocking)

- Come on man.

- Hey Louis, yo, before you start, yeah?

Check this one.

Heli copter pilot.

Hey, look, just take a look.

You wanna look?

- Ah, ah, you wanna job?

You get a walkie-talkie?

- Oh!

- I got a job.

I gotta take those Chinese dudes
back after you finished mucking around.

- Oh, come on man, Stevie's crook.

- Yeah, what do with all the showers?

- Oh, his stomach has too much acid.

The shower's released like endorphins.

- Like getting high.

- Ah, it's more like a painkiller.

Hey, can you just swap jobs with him?

Just help him unload him in spot drive.

Like look out for cops.

Like I said, there's can of for you.

- Yup, yup.

Easy, sweet.

- Deligent, nice.

- No, I don't really.

- True that, Louis.

True that.

(upbeat music)

- Oh, what do we got here?

- Hello, gentlemen.

- Hey, we spoke on the phone yesterday.

We're headed by that Richard Hoppe.

- K right?

- Exactly.

This way, nice.

Oh, you got cash.

- On the phone you see cash was fine.

- Of course it is, just need some ID,

passport or something
like that if you got them.

- Nah, they have cash.

- Yes, I see that.

It's just with this amount
I need ID for records.

It's the law.

- He said since he's paying in cash,
shouldn't be any need for IDs, right?

Finally we are grilled something.

- I understand that you have a
box of money and I wanna take

it and give you a boat, but
to do that, I need a passport.

- Grab one, I don't carry passports.

Grab, grab one.

.

Thank you.

- So, whose name will this be under?

- This goes.

- So not the man with all the cash and
the man's passport have just photocopied?

- Nah, they're buying
the boat for a charter.

Is there a problem?

- No, are you guys happy with that?

- Yeah, yeah.

Just a short charter and
then out there went off home.

- Yeah, money's no issues.

- Okay, well, that's the case.

Who am I to question?

So just sign here and we are good to go.

Fishing, eh?

- Yeah, hey, come on, you wads.

It was down at the pub, had photos.

- Well, why not ring? Saxophone?

And what the f*ck is
up with all his shells?

- Ah, he's the cleanest
lad I've ever known.

Hey, do you think two guys are all gone?

- He's stuck with a guy, so he's all gone.

He just got a trust in it.

(upbeat music)

- Even though it's high, it's
been enjoying your local music,

he wonders if we can make a change to
something more soothing to help us this study.

(upbeat music)

- His product better be as
good as everyone says it is.

(upbeat music)

- I'm boxes of Mariah
Kai and some chow chow.

- Got another Mariah feed.

- Yeah, we just bought
the first lot too early.

- Why are you all dirty?
You've been playing footy?

- Yeah.

- Oh, you win?

- No, Toya played stink.

She's our best player,
but her dad was arrested.

You think she'd be used to that by now?

- Hey, who arrested him?

- Cops.

That'll be $ .

- Wait, where, when?

- At the Northern, cops are
always just arresting people.

They're r*cist.

- Louis, catch up.

- You're changed.

- Keep it.

- Hey, do you hear that?

Cops.

Ooh, you see it.

Don't worry about it.

You know, my sister Blaze, right?

- Yeah.

- Yeah, well, her and Thugger would
have put us in a situation where, you know,

yeah, but what if, just leave it,
but like, - Docs, shut the f*ck up.

Okay?

- I know you're the money.

So do the job, get paid.

I don't want to hear
your f*cking complaining.

- What if they're on to us?

- Who?

Who's on to us?

- Huh?

- Max got the new boat.

We'll be home in no time.

- Okay, just f*cking relax.

sh*t.

- You know, this is different.

I don't know what they're up to.

The money, the cash they're handing out,

the new boat.

- What if they do something to us?

- Or if you say no, I won't.

- I don't know.

- I don't know.

- Or if you say no, I won't.

- If we do, we can't go back.

- Jing?

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

- Well, I want to report a crime.

No, no, I don't think anyone's going
to be injured or was about to die.

No, they're putting me
through to Auckland now.

- Come on, come on.

- Yep, yep, I'm here. Hello.

You got my name, Rat?

You look, look, am I being recorded?

Well, I just want to make
sure that you know I called.

Okay, yes.

Look, well, I want to report something.

I mean, there's a crime happening now.

No, no, I don't think anyone's
going to be injured or hurt,

but look, it's still an emergency
because, well, as in, it's happening now.

- Tell them about the boat. The boat.

- Yes, so look, I've had
these guys turn up here.

Well, I'm up north here.

He put a mile beach.

And these guys...

Well, there's three Tongans,
two Chinese, and a Māori.

.

No, this isn't a prank call.

- Tell them about the end.

- Uh, they want a hand
to launch their boat, right?

Because they've got this urn and they want
to go out and spread these ashes, but...

They weren't ashes, it was just sand.

But anyway, we helped them launch,
and then they go and crash their boat

straight up on the beach, wrecking
the engine, the prop, and everything.

- GPS, tell them about the GPS.

- No, no, no, no.
The question's in the crank, no.

No, after the crash, they go and
buy another boat for $ , .

- Because they're drug traffickers.

- Well, they told me it
cost that. So, look, while

they were away, my wife
and I find their GPS, um, unit.

So, we managed to turn
that on, and look, we find

there's a marker
miles off the coast here.

So, you know what that means.

- Well, we're pretty sure
they're drug trafficking.

Yeah, well, we're
fairly certain, really.

Well, they were on their
way back from Auckland,

and they're going to
call me with an ETA.

So, I was thinking of calling you
back once I know they're arrival time.

Okay, well, I'll call you back.

- Well, Erm, honey, do
you think they'll believe you?

- Surely.

- I mean, how many times
do the police get a call

from some people up
here with a story like that?

- No one, never. Never.

So, what are we doing now?

- Well, uh, hopefully the Auckland
police will get in touch with our guys,

put a plan together and
come and arrest them.

- I hope we did the right thing.

- Yeah, I hope so too.

- Well, maybe we're wrong.

You know? Maybe they are veggie smokers.

- There was a lot of
cabbage on that boat, eh?

[laughs].

- Yeah, hello, Stevie.

- minutes then.

- Okay, see you then.
