DOOR SQUEAKS

Hey.

Pascalle.

What are you doing
here on a weekend?

Working.

But shouldn't you—? I mean...

your house nearly burnt down.

There's not much I can
do to change that now.

But what about Van?

He's OK. He's got his
mum to look after him.

OK.

Look, what's done is done, and...

when I got up this morning,
there were all these things
that I could think about,

but what I can do is make sure
that everything is sorted

for your new financial controller
when she starts on Monday.

Really?

Yeah, at least it's
something constructive.

That is so amazing that you're
thinking of me on a day like today.

Yes, I am. And here I am. (LAUGHS)

That is so beautiful.

Oh!

But all the other sh*t that I need
to get done today is waiting, so
I've gotta get this done.

Oh yeah. Sorry. (CHUCKLES)

Hey, are you going to be home later?

Yeah. ]

I'll drop by after I've got
everything else sorted.

That'd be excellent. See ya.

Bye.

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. ♪

(COUGHS, GAGS)

Van, you can't go to work today.

(COUGHS) I have to. I'm fine.

I've got to go and see this, um,
fire-investigator guy so that he
can talk to the insurance guy.

Right.
Hey, do you reckon
they'll pay out quick?

If they're satisfied
it's an accident, yeah.

It wasn't on purpose. ]

I know you didn't.
Why would I do that?

I know, Van.

f*ck. If they're gonna get all
shitty about it, they should try
having twins with no kitchen.

DOOR OPENS, CLOSES ]

You think they won't pay out?

I'm pretty sure it'll
look like an accident.

What are you saying?
What, you think it was deliberate?
Maybe.

What? Van wouldn't do that — not for
insurance. Christ, he never cooks.

He doesn't know a deep-fryer
from a bloody lawnmower. H-

She did it.

Oh my God.

That bitch.

You knew about this last
night and you didn't tell me?

I didn't want to upset you.

Upset me? I'll k*ll her.
Cheryl, leave it!

I won't sit here. Give me the keys.

No.
No. Give me the keys.

No! We keep an eye on Van,

and we stay calm until
we've got proof.

(BREATHES DEEPLY)
All right?

OK?

OK.

All right.

You hang with Janie,
and I'll— I'll call you later.

JANIE BABBLES

OK.

Morning, Cheryl.
Morning, Graeme.

No one touches the kit. Bad luck.

Oh, Ted.

I have to stay focused,
do me exercises.

It's all in the tweaking. A slight
turn here or there makes all the
difference with the Acteron .

You'll be fine.

I'm not just after a result.

I'm looking for a personal
best — . , woe to go.

If anyone can do it, you can.

That chink won't know what hit him.

But I will —

my husband —

a man at the peak of his powers.

Can't get distracted
when I'm warming up.

You said it was all in the tweaking.

Yep. That's the action, all right.

Too hard?

Anything I can do
to get you warmed up.

I didn't think pregnant
chicks were supposed to—

Shut up.

Does Van know you're
down here doing this?

You like Van now?

He's a d*ck, but I've got four kids.
Like I give a sh*t.

Listen, lady. The one I've
got with Corrina Balani,

they say he's got
learning difficulties

because of all the partying she did
before she knew she was knocked up.

And I care about this?
Well, I'm just saying—

Yeah, yeah. You're
Father of the Year (!)

Shame you'll be inside soon.

What do you know about that?

Oh, this and that.
Maybe why that happened.

What are you crapping on about?

Van West — he's the reason.

hear from you so soon.

TYRES SQUEAL

sh*t.

Did she say where she was going?

No.

DOOR OPENS

Hey.

Is Sheree back?

Nah, not yet.

It's a, uh, deep-fryer.

Yeah, got her a new one.
She loved the old one, eh.

Good stuff.

Thanks, Graeme.

See you soon.

sh*t, man. I keep trying to call
her, man, but it's like her phone's
off or... maybe the battery's dead,

cos then she'd probably...

Where you been?
Out.

Have you heard from Sheree?
Uh, no.

Oh sh*t. What if
she's gone into labour?

No, no. She'd get in touch, Van.

Yeah. She's probably
pissed off about the fire.

She wasn't in bloody
labour when I saw her.

Jesus, Cheryl. I told you not to.

She can't mess with Van
and get away with it.
What? You told her that?

She took off in her car before
I could give her a good slap.
Nicky around?

No, he's out meeting with some
clients. You want some tea?
Got any vodka?

(LAUGHS)

Are you serious?

My God, you really do live in your
own little bubble-wrapped world,
don't you?

Are you OK?

Sit down, Pascalle.

There's a whole lot of
sh*t you need to know.

OK.

Especially before
you marry my brother.

Like the fact that there's only
one reason he's with you, and
that's your money.

(SCOFFS) What?

You heard me.
Bullshit.

It's true.
No.

I know because I was with him when
he had the idea of flicking Loretta
and moving on to you.

No, that is crap.

(LAUGHS) It's not.

He has never ever taken
any money from me.

He got you to buy him a new car,
didn't he, and give him grand?

Yeah, that was only to save Jethro.

And who were you saving him from?

From the drug guys — the g*ng guys.

Friends of Nicky, you mean.

I don't believe you.

Ask him, why don't you?

Why do this? You're his sister.

Yeah, and we've been close, and
I've done a lot of sh*t for him.
But lately, that's changed.

He's crossed a line, and
I need to do something.

But he loves you.

No, he doesn't.

You might think that he loves you,
and he might pretend that he does,

but it is and has always
been about your money.

Piss off.

I'm down at the unit. Security
called me. There's been a break-in.

What? Did they take anything?

Hmm. It's hard to tell,
but they left a note.

A burglar left a note?

It says packs of Excellence have
been tampered with — dosed with weed
k*ller.

Hey.

A bit of an accident.

Is it true?

Is what true?

What Sheree told me today.

Um, that very much depends on what
Sheree told you, doesn't it? Look,
I'm a bit f*ckin' injured here.

I want to know if
it's f*cking true —

that you never loved me and you only
got together with me for my money.

Whoa. Sheree said that?

Oh, so it is true?
No, no. Listen to me.

She said that you took the hundred
that I paid for Jethro, that the car
thing was bullshit

and that you planned it.
Look, this is crap, OK?

All of it.
Then why would she come
around here and say it?

Because—
Because why?

She hates you and she's jealous.

But I have only ever
been nice to her.

Yeah, I know, and maybe
that's part of the problem.

You're talented and beautiful and
rich — everything she wants to be.

Look, maybe it's the pregnancy, but
lately she's been kind of unhinged.

Really?

I didn't want to say this before
because she's my sister, but she's
always been jealous of you

and our relationship.

I was worried this might happen.

Her telling me the truth?

No, it's not the truth.
She is trying to break us up.

(SIGHS) Are you bullshitting me?

I am not.

Look, I swear it.

Ah! Ah.

Ah.

What did you do?

I...

I was out with those clients and
I tripped getting out of the car.

Ah.

Swear to me that you're
telling me the truth.

Pascalle, I love you for you,

not your money. Like I said to you,
you could hiff it off a wharf,
for all I care.

(LAUGHS, SOBS)

That's really nasty.

Yeah. It's just a sprain.

I'll go get you some ice, eh?

CLANG!

f*ck off. What the f*ck?
Why are you hitting me for?

You did it, didn't you?
Did what?

You know.

No, I don't!

Munt, Munt, Munt, Munt.

Enough, Munter. Get off. Get off!

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

CLANG!

Oh, f*ck.

Stop it! Right this f*cking minute.

What the hell is going on here?

Ask him.
What?

You did it, didn't you?

I was sitting here and you came and
started f*cking smashing me, man!

Not with me, with Ted.
What?

What about Ted?

Ted's gone. He's history.

And it's all his fault,
cos he's a f*cking nark.

I didn't, all right? And I'm not.

What are you talking about?

What happened to Ted?

The cops came in and Ted got
arrested, because they knew.

Grandpa was in on the job?

[ Yeah.
What job?

I didn't know Grandpa was.

You were gonna do a job?

Yeah, but I got kicked off.
I didn't even want to do it, really.

So you told the f*cking cops.

No, I didn't, OK?

It wasn't me.

Well, you're a dirty nark,
and I don't believe a word you say.

Jesus Christ, Munt.

Look, I told him I quit.

Munt!

DOOR SLAMS ]
Who did you tell?

I just don't understand why someone
would do something like this.

It's just some kid. Be a prank.

Jethro, we can't ignore this.
Someone got into the boxes.

And what do you want to do?
Check every single box?

Yeah, we have to.

(SCOFFS) Oh, yay (!)

Oh, you're kidding?

Should have come to us about this.

Mum, I couldn't.

I only did it for Sheree.

And then— And for Munter.

He said the only reason that
she got into crime was cos of him.

Him?

Nicky.

Gerard wanted to get him for, like,
a real big job, but there weren't
any until this one.

Nicky was on the job with Grandpa?

I didn't know Grandpa was doing it.

Yeah, but Nicky set it up.

Ohh.

I'm not saying nothing to no one
about anything any more. And I
didn't know anything about nothing.

And I didn't say anything to no one.

All we want to know is who else was
involved in the job. We know you
weren't acting alone.

Fudge-packing nancy boy.
I want to go back to my cell.

I'll ask you again —

who else was involved?

Arse-licking turd muncher.

OK. Interview concluded at .

Uh, why don't you go grab
a coffee? I'll stay with Ted.

I'm not scared. I've got the bash
from bigger pricks and I still
said nothing.

Ted, I'm not going to b*at you up.

They all say that,
then it's in with the boot.

You'll be getting that soon enough
from the guys you'll be meeting
inside — P heads and g*ng members.

I'm sure it was different
in your day, but now—

Stuff you, lard boy.

How long are you gonna
last in there, Ted?

Don't pretend you care.

Well, I was thinking we could
come to some kind of agreement.

I'm not paying you off.

Good, cos I don't take bribes.

But how long will you be away?
Seven to , if you're lucky.

And what does he get?

I know Nicky Greegan
was behind this job.

Now, all you have
to do is talk to me —

information leading to an arrest.

Is that what you want?

That's all I want.

(GAGS)

Oh Jesus!

There's your answer. That's not how
I do it. Never have, never will.

I want to go back to my cell.

It'll be my pleasure.

Let's go.

They won't let me see him.

That's because he's under arrest.

Nonsense. He's the
best in the business.

And he was caught
doing the business.

He still needs his breakfast.

Ngaire, you know the drill. You
can't until he's appeared on Monday.

Always brought Leftie breakfast.
Had an arrangement with the desk
sergeant.

I used to let him cop a feel and—
Well, things have changed quite
a bit in the last few years.

Not for the better.

Ngaire, why don't you wait at home?
If we hear anything, we'll give you
a call.

All right.

See if you can get this to him.

Me?

You used to work here, didn't ya?

He was caught in the act.
There's nothing to argue about.

I know.

And you can keep the old prick.

OK.

I'm here about my stepson Van and
the games you've been playing with
him.

Oh, don't know about that.

Oh, cut the bullshit.
I know how it works with informants.

So you know we don't
talk about informants?

Although, if Van was one, he'd
be worse than useless, cos he's
a ret*rd.

Don't you say that.

You'll tell me he's a genius now?

He's a simple soul, but he's a good
one, so stay away from him and the
rest of my family.

Your family?

You heard me.

Well, I don't need Van
or any of your family.

I've got much better sources.

We're off to the
park. You wanna come?

I'm waiting for a call.

Well, you could get it at the park.

No, I'm going to go
look for her — Sheree.

Where are you going to look for her?
I don't know.

Is your family always like this?
Like what?

Oh, it's just kind of chaotic.

Well, nah, normally it's quite
quiet, actually, unless there's
a party.

Are you there, you fucker?

OK.
You're meant to be in jail.

Yeah, I got bail.

No thanks to you, scumbag.

Hey, look, we have a baby here.

Yeah, he's a f*cking nark,
and everybody knows it.

They can't, and I'm not.

Well, that's not what
your missus told me.

Sheree?

What, you've got some other missus?

No.

You sh*t.

Guys, guys. Stop it.

BOTH GRUNT

Hey, guys. Hey, stop it.

What are you doing?

BOTH GRUNT

He's a nark!
I don't care what he is.

You take your skinny white arse out
of here or I'll ruin it for life.

Hello, baby in the house.

[ JANE CRIES

What? I'm not going
because I'm scared.

Piss off.

And when I come back, you
are so f*cking dead, Van West.

Hey, Falani.

Yeah, that's my name.

But only part of my name.
You know the other part of my name?

Um, is it Samoan?

It's vengeance! The cops raided
my house today looking for stolen
liquor, which luckily wasn't there,

but imagine the sadness of
Mrs Falani, who was hosting a
bible-study group at the time.

OK, that's not good,
OK? But it wasn't me.

This is not what is on the wall of
the men's bogs at the Rusty Nail,
as told by your girlfriend.

What?
Yeah, so now—

(SCREAMS)
Not in front of the baby, OK?

Hello, Janie. Big and bonny.

We'll take this outside.

Come back here, you little sh*t!

JANIE GURGLES

Probably best we go to the park, eh?

LOUD KNOCK AT DOOR

I'll get it.
OK.

KNOCK AT DOOR

Hey, Cheryl.

Ah!
You f*cking bastard.

Mum, what are you doing?

Come on, love. You need
to get dressed and leave.

No.
The cops will be on their
way right now and you sh*t,

if you get my family in your crap—
Mum, stop it.

Grandpa just got arrested
doing a job he set up!

Grandpa got arrested?
Trying to rob a Chinese guy.

Oh my God.

Love, we need to get out of here.

You said you were on business.
Business, my arse.

Mum, can you go now?
Love, I'm not bullshitting you.

Mum, go home. I'll call.
No!

Mum, go home!
I need to talk to Nicky.

We were trying to get your
money back from Tony Wu.

I didn't ask you to do that.
No, but—

Now Grandpa's arrested?

Well, I tried to get
him out, but the cops...

You bastard.

Ah, Pascalle.

You told me you stopped doing
robberies because of me.

I was doing this for you.

No, you weren't,
you prick. You liar.
Pascalle, I was.

If you lied about this,
what else did you lie about?

Van? Loretta?

Here we are.

Where's everyone?

That's a bit hard to say.

Well, where are they?

Loretta's out, and there's been
various visitors. I thought it
was safer to take Jane to the park.

What visitors? Where's Van?

OK, well, there was the angry guy
with the tats, then the angry Samoan
guy.

Oh, Mum.

It's all right, sweetheart.

I give up.

You haven't finished.

Loretta, they look like pills,
and none of these packs have
been touched.

The point is to work out
if any packs are missing.

I need a coffee.

That'll work in court when someone
carks it — the latte defence (!)

I'm with him. This is bullshit.

There are three packs
missing from this box.

Someone took them and chucked them?

Or maybe they're already in shops.
Jesus, Loretta.

They don't have much
of a head start,

so we recall our shelf
product and trash what's here.

Trash it?
Start again.

Holy f*ck.

If one person gets sick...
What about Australia?

Australia won't sink
if a delivery is late.

Our business may.

We won't have a business
if someone dies, Hayden!

CELL PHONE RINGS

Shut up!

Hey, Mum.
You need to come home.

Uh, wee bit busy right now, Mum.

I need you all home now.

sh*t, what is it?

Where were you last night?

Out with the guys.

This was in the rubbish.

And there was a thing on the radio
about some robbery — somebody being
in custody.

It's Ted.
You were there.

I wasn't robbing. I was lookout.

You're still part of it. How can you
do this to me? It's like jumping in
the middle of the Bahama Triangle

Oh, there is no triangle.

Oh! You just got off going to jail!

Why would you risk everything
for some stupid robbery?

I was helping my mates, cos that's
what guys do. I wanted to feel
like a real guy.

You are a real guy.

I'm not, OK?
You are.

Cos sometimes I feel like
you're too much of a guy.

I'm not.

(SIGHS) What is this?

It's results.
Of what?

The test you made me do.

They say I can't do it.

The reason we can't
have kids — it's me,

cos my sperm are useless,

and they don't even swim.

I'm a guy who's not a guy.

Oh, Munter.

So you may as well dump me, throw me
out, or the cops are gonna come, but
it doesn't matter.

Oh, baby.

Oh.

We've got idiots after
Van because he's a nark.

We've got a robbery that's gone tits
up. We've got Ted at the cop shop.
We've got problems with you lot.

Van's gone AWOL,
and Sheree is missing.

I might give Jane her bath.

You don't have to do that.

Well, you're all a bit busy
here and I've just run it.

[ CHERYL: That'd be good.

Hang on. Sheree is gone?

Yeah, maybe.

This is not a disaster.
We should be celebrating.

And you haven't heard from her?

No.

I don't know why she
wouldn't even just call.

And why would she be saying
that sh*t to people, man?

It's like she hates me.

I know the feeling, mate.

Hey, you gotta tell Munter.

That it wasn't me
that went to the cops.

Yeah, I know it wasn't you.

Yeah, there's only one person I
trusted — knew everything about
the job.

In my experience, it usually comes
back to revenge, love or money.

And getting Grandpa arrested
wouldn't get her rich.

Oh, sh*t.

You're probably gonna hate me for
this, again, but have you checked
your bank account recently?

No.

Oh, sh*t.

How much?

All of it.

We call the bank, and
then we call the cops.

(SOBS) Oh my God. Oh my God.

Oh my God. Oh my God.

OK, she's a bitch, all right.
I get that. Why would she do this?

She's f*cking with us.

We can't call her and ask now she's
a wanted criminal. Yes, she hates
us enough to do it.

She hates you.
You're not exempt.

She wouldn't have had time to do it.

What if she's doing it right now?

Loretta.
Jethro. We cannot take this risk.

It's gonna cost us
thousands to recall.

That's what she wanted.

[ You'd just roll over and
go with that, would you?

There is no choice.

f*ck, you've gone soft.

Soft?
Yeah, soft.

I'm rational, responsible.

Oh yeah, you and the tree-hugger
are such good people, aren't you (?)

Jethro, even you're not such a d*ck.

You would really risk someone
getting sick? Our business going
under?

(SCOFFS) All right. Company vote —
we recall. And you have to do this,

and it is not about Graeme.

Yeah, OK. We do it.
- . Vote's carried.

Thanks, Kase. Talk to you later.

They haven't seen Van,
but that's not surprising.

(SIGHS) Christ.

I hope those bastards
don't find him.

I will find him, OK?
You look after Pascalle.

Will the cops get the money back?

Depends on where the accounts are,
how much she's withdrawn already.

Well, call me when you find him.

I will.

DOOR OPENS, CLOSES ]

Come on, love. Eat your egg.

I'm trying to,
but my throat's all dry.

Drink this.

This is where she was with
Van. She slept right here.

Come on, love.

He said that she hates me.

Who did?
Nicky.

Love, don't think about that now.

And she said he only
wanted me for my money.

Oh, shh.

Do you think she took
the money to give it to him?

I don't know, love.

I have to go see him.

No, no, no. You're going to drink
your tea, eat your egg and get a
good night's sleep

so you can talk to the fraud
squad in the morning. Come on.

Come on. Eat.

Good girl.

I'm sorry. I can't.

Yes, you can. Come on, take a bite.

(SOBS)

Oh, Mum.

Oh, sweetheart.

Forget about him.

Forget about her. Shh.

Hey, Falani. You seen Van?

Would this be Van West, the nark?

Apparently you chased him out
of his house this afternoon.

I lost him. He was bloody fast.

He never did anything
to you, Falani.

Tell Mrs Falani that.

I'd be happy to.

And what about me?

You don't think the cops would have
got you, the way you were poncing
about?

Are you calling me a ponce?

What about dickhead?

The next time I see Van, he'll be
sh1tting teeth out his arsehole.

Do your bail terms include drinking,
threats to k*ll and associating with
these bastards?

Are you threatening me?
Who are you calling a bastard?

Falani, if anyone shopped your booze
scam, it wasn't Van. It was Sheree.

You should tell these fullas, cos
they're pretty paranoid right now.

Well, maybe you should tell
them that this is all horse sh*t.
Van doesn't even know these pricks,

and he'd never do this to you.

Maybe.

Well, don't listen to him.
You stay out of it.

Yeah, well, you're not
talking me round, arsewipe.

You stay away from Van.

You hear?

Sheree?

She didn't come back, Wayne.

I thought I might be able to find
something with her old address
from Whakatane. I found that.

It's where she used to work.

Van...
You can help, eh?

It's probably best we
leave this to the cops.

The cops?

No, no. I want him here.

Not the best idea, Mum. There's a
lot of people pissed off with him.

Yeah, they can deal with me, then.

He could do with a bit
of peace and quiet.

Jethro agrees with me.

Oh, Jethro does.

He's not a complete shithead.

(CHUCKLES)

Hospital.

What?

I'll call all the hospitals in the
North Island and the South Island.
That's all the islands.

(SIGHS) Van.

Well, she has to have the baby
somewhere, right? She'll need help
and maybe she'll want to come back.

Sheree's wanted for stealing all of
Pascalle's money, Van. This is the
last place she'll come to. Come on.

She could give it back.

Van,...

she's dropped the b*mb
on all of us, mate,

including you.

The only reason she'd do that is
if she never wanted to see any of
us ever again.

What about the babies?

They're not yours, Van.

Don't start this sh*t. Not again.

I know how much you wanted them,
mate. You know, how much you wanted
them to be yours, but...

that's cos you're you.

Are you saying I'm a idiot?

No, no. No, I'm not.

You're a great guy, Van.

The best, OK?

And that f*cking...

Sheree was— She was more than happy
to take advantage of that, OK?

I loved her, Jed.
(SOBS) I f*cking loved her.

I know you did, mate.

(CRIES)

Come on, Van.

I don't want to go.

It's for the best, love.
You'll be safe. Have a rest.

If you hear—?
I'll call. I promise.

Hi, everyone. Um,... as you can see,
we have a slight problem today, and
that is why the police are here.

They're getting information from the
computers and they don't want you to
touch a thing,

and that's why I think that we
should have a day off today and
come back in tomorrow,

and everything will be good.

(SNIFFS) Yay!

That's great.

So, um, let's just let the nice
police officers get on with their
job, eh?

DOOR OPENS

Go away.
Pascalle...

I don't want to speak to you.
I don't want to look at you again.

Except, were you in on it?

The job?

No, not the stupid
job — what she did.

Uh, I'm pretty confused here.

Oh, and how do you think I felt to
find that every single dollar that
I ever had is now gone

to various accounts and names and
bogus suppliers and the cops said
she planned it ages ago,

and then on Friday,
she took out grand in cash?

Sheree did that?

Oh, are you just really
surprised or are you pretending?

I didn't know, OK? I swear it.

Well, that's just fantastic (!)

Pascalle, I am so sorry.

But you didn't do this.

It's kinda my fault.

You just said that you didn't do it!

I said Sheree has issues

with you and me, and she
maybe feels I betrayed her.

You're her brother. What kind of
f*cked up relationship do you have?

OK, it's not what you'd call normal,
but I betrayed her when I fell in
love with you.

Well, that's great (!)

I love you.

I do.

And I will get your money
back, OK? We can sort this.

Yeah, we will. OK, then.

No.

Because we are over, and you don't
come near me ever again, so just
piss off and let me pack.

Pascalle—
I said go, so go!
