01x05 - Episode 5

Post by bunniefuu »

Just take your shirt off.

Ooh, are we a little coy?

You're not really available, are you?

- Goodnight.

- Goodnight.

[BRAD] Sometimes you do

things, and you realize

You're not who thought you were.

You humiliated me in front

of everyone I care about.

[JACK] I am sorry.

Truly. That's what I came here for.

It's a Land Cruiser. You can't miss it.

It's the one on its roof.

Now just get the thing,

will you, and just tow it

to that address I gave

you in Sunny Hills.

Darby.

Like the Detective Inspector.

Common name.

I see, not a father-daughter

call on Christmas Eve.

- Come on, Lizzie.

- Detective Inspector.

[JACK] I rang my daughter, Liz.

I asked her about Ian.

What did you find?

He's wanted for m*rder.

[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

[AUTOMATED VOICE] In 800 meters,

you will reach your destination.

[JOAN] Come on, girl,

you can do it. Come on.

[JACK] Maybe I should get out

and push, what do you reckon?

[DOG BARKS]

[JOAN] Come on. You're nearly there.

[ENGINE SPUTTERING]

Oh, sod it.

Do I at least get a prize

for getting so close?

Yep. You get to carry the petrol can.

Perfect.

We'll fill up.

Be back on the road

before you can say

[JOAN] Pissing bloody hell.

Right. I'll ring Liz.

Tell her we can't make

the interview today.

What's the point, anyway?

I mean, what can I add to

a proper police investigation?

Listen, you've come all

this way for answers.

This'll help you get them.

Hey.

You'll like her. She's nothing like me.

Guess we're gonna spend the

night in Angel's Crossing.

Angel's bloody Crossing.

[THEME MUSIC]

[WOMAN VOCALIZING]

Won't you love it? ♪

How much gear do you need

for an overnight stay?

We can't all get by on

flip-flops and a clean T-shirt.

Thongs.

Thongs and a clean T-shirt.

So I like a bit of luxury.

So do I.

Really? What's yours?

Ah, a long soak in a hot bath.

Ah, now you're talking.

Come on, Diesel.

Looks nice.

Yeah, just here.

Yeah. Come on, Steve.

I'll give you double

time for New Year's Eve.

I thought we could

glamp in the Daintree.

Yeah, we'll see.

[ROGER] Who was there for you when your

missus kicked you out

and who helped you move back in

when you got back together?

Favours are a two-way street.

Oh, come on, mate. I'll feed

you. I'll give you a room.

Just help me out here.

I can't do tonight this short-staffed.

You said you'd take some time off.

Ruth!

We'll see, okay?

[ROGER] Look I am sorry, folks,

but we're closed for a

New Year's Eve function.

We were hoping that you

might have a couple of rooms.

One with a bath, ideally.

You could try the

motel in Freeman Point.

It's about 40 Ks East.

What about those staff

rooms you were talking about?

Couldn't we book that?

Well, that's a room, and it's singular,

and it's for staff, when I find them.

What if we were your staff?

We're fully qualified.

We've been working our

way around the country.

Haven't we, Jack of all trades?

Hm, something like that.

Well, can you pull a pint?

Yeah, and I can, you

know, I can change a keg.

I'm Joan. This is Jack

and this is Diesel.

If that's alright with you.

Oh, great, and a dog.

Well like I have much choice, huh?

Alright, you clock on in an hour.

- Great.

- This is your room.

It's on the right down the hall.

- Oi. Good on ya.

- Tom!

Mate, this isn't funny.

Clearance sale, vultures

bought everything, Rog.

All of Mum's silverware. Everything.

Except for one thing.

This. So, yeah.

[LAUGHS] Bloody hilarious.

You can't leave it

here. Will you just

It's yours, Rog. Last family heirloom.

- G'day.

- G'day.

He's a character.

There you go.

[DOOR SHUTS]

[JOAN] Okay. One bed.

[MUTTERS INAUDIBLY]

- Thanks.

- There you go.

Don't know whether I

packed for waitressing.

Bloody hell. What did you pack for?

Well, I wasn't gonna

leave it in the van, was I?

I'm gonna go and put my face on.

[JACK] What're you looking at?

[SIGHS]

[WATER RUNNING]

Is that a bath?

[JOAN] Yup.

I bagsed first.

[JACK] I had first dibs.

I beat you to it.

[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

Hope I haven't made us late.

Wow, you look great!

You don't look too bad yourself.

Nothing like a nice, long

soak in a hot bath, is there?

I wouldn't know.

Joan, right?

- Hi.

- Hi, I'm Ruth.

We're working the

dinner service together.

Great.

Come on, I'll show you around.

Oh, dear, what have I got us into?

Who knows?

There she is.

[CHUCKLES]

Very cheeky.

He's changed his tune.

I love New Year's Eve, don't you?

[UPBEAT MUSIC]

Ooh ♪

Our beers.

It's just a soul kinda feeling ♪

Yeah I'm moving with the beat ♪

Ah, glass.

It's just a soul kinda feeling ♪

Impressive.

There you go.

Not talkin' 'bout religion no ♪

Not talkin' 'bout fashion no ♪

So, here you go.

Dan plates up here and we check them off

against the dockets here.

- Alright.

- Dan, this is Joan.

She's helping us out tonight.

- Hi.

- Hi.

So, Roger's thrown you

in the deep end, has he?

Well, who doesn't like a challenge?

Well, you're in good hands

here. Ruth is the best.

How's that entree prep coming?

This way.

So, how long have you two been an item?

Are we that obvious?

[CHUCKLES]

It's the way he looks at you.

Yeah. He does. He sees me.

I think he really does.

After my divorce and everything

you stop thinking it's

possible, you know?

I do.

Just to feel in love again.

I wasn't actually sure

I could let myself.

What was your secret?

Trusting

but that's the hard part.

It felt wrong to be with someone new

after all those years with the same guy.

Does that make sense?

- More than you know.

- [LAUGHING]

- Hey.

- Hey. Happy New Year.

I'll drink to that.

[PHONE VIBRATING]

[MADDIE] Dan. It's Maddie.

I'm waiting outside for you.

[MAN LAUGHS]

Happy New Year.

Making yourself at home, are you?

Hey, it's okay, mate.

You see, I'm allowed to.

Family discount.

So what, do you do your

retirement dough, did you?

I'm just traveling around.

Doing bits and pieces.

Lifestyle choice, eh?

Righty-O. I might make that

my New Year's resolution.

Is that because of the farm business?

I was here when you

brought the sink in.

Yeah, well

You know the farm's been on its knees

ever since Roger decided

he was too good for it?

You know, it's too much for one bloke.

Roger doesn't help you out?

I mean, he can't be too short of a quid.

No, Roger just thinks of number one.

You know, I'm just glad

Mum and Dad aren't alive to see this.

You know, I still talk to them.

Where we scattered their ashes.

Beautiful tree on the farm.

And then we're gonna lose that too.

Yeah, well, that's the

thing about life, isn't it?

Doesn't always work out

how you think it will.

Yeah.

See, that's why I'm

getting what I'm owed.

One frothy at a time.

[CHUCKLING]

Little something from the top shelf.

Jack. Can you grab some

tonic from the back fridge?

Yeah, absolutely.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Now we agreed, I need

time to get the rest.

I'll call you back.

Keep the rubbish in

the fridge, eh? Smart.

It'll k*ll the maggots.

Grumpy chef, no small talk. I get it.

Can I help you?

Ah, tonic.

Yeah, it's in there.

[DOOR SHUTS]

[MELLOW MUSIC]

It's a lot light, Dan.

Yeah, I told you, I just need some time.

We had some issues with supply.

But I'll get you what you need.

- It's not good enough.

- You just need to back off.

Big bags like that, it

can't be drugs, can it?

Well, either way I think

our chef is a little colourful.

Oh, I hope not for Ruth's

sake. She's such a sweetheart.

This woman, what'd she look like?

Ah, Red hair.

Short black dress.

Gold, um, necklace. Earrings.

Oh, she made quite an impression.

She got what she wanted.

Why is she still here?

[OMINOUS MUSIC]

Dan. What's good on the menu?

Dan? Everything okay?

Yeah.

Joan.

I thought table 15 was a no-show.

Ah. I'll look after her.

She knows Dan.

- Really?

- Yeah.

I bet she's the reason he

runs hot and cold with me.

Oh, God. I knew this

was too good to be true.

Let me see what I can find out.

- Would you?

- You betcha.

Got no Maddie on the guest list.

What did you say your last name was?

- I didn't.

- Oh, well.

I'm sorry, but this is a

private function. So, um

I'm a friend of Dan's from Brisbane.

Can you tell him I'm waiting?

Can I let him know what it's about?

Let him know I'm not going anywhere.

And is there anything I

can get you in the meantime?

Pinot Grigio too much to ask for?

I expect we can manage that.

[JACK] You stole her keys.

Yeah, borrowed them.

To find out what's in the bags.

How is it our business?

Well, you're the one who

said the chef was colourful.

Ruth thinks he's two-timing her.

That's not what I meant by colourful.

He is mixed up in something.

Exactly. I'm worried about Ruth.

I don't want her to get hurt.

And what if this Maddie girl finds out

that her keys are missing?

She won't. Not if you're quick.

This is nuts.

You're a nut.

Takes one to know one.

[SIGHS]

Go on.

- She wants to see you.

- I'm too busy.

Well, she was very insistent.

Just keep her away from Ruth, okay?

- What's going on?

- Oh.

It's nothing. Just a

It's a friend from the

city. Nothing to worry about.

The woman at table 15?

A friend, is she?

So what do you want me

to tell her? Your friend?

[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

Tell him I'm not going anywhere.

- Not without seeing him.

- Right.

[DOOR UNLOCKS]

I'm so stupid.

Of course he's involved

with someone else.

Someone beautiful and

sophisticated from down South.

Oh, no, no, no, I don't think it's that.

Well, what is it?

- Well I

- I'm just gonna ask them.

Oh, no, Ruth. I wouldn't

I need to hear it straight

from the horse's mouth.

How long's it been going on?

I'm sorry?

- Dan and you.

- Just one minute.

I need to know the

truth about you and Dan.

- I deserve that much.

- Me and Dan?

Honey, not in a million years.

- What? I thought

- Oh, no.

We're not, we're not having an affair.

I'm-I'm just helping Maddie.

With something. Can we talk? Please?

Helping himself to something.

Lover boy owes me $50,000.

And I'm not going anywhere without it.

- One way or the other.

- Car park. Now.

What?

- Dan!

- Car park. Now.

Um, Dan, you are needed in the kitchen.

- Five minutes.

- It's urgent.

Who is this woman?

Look, I will get you what you

need I just need more time.

[MADDIE LAUGHS]

[MADDIE] I advanced you $50,000.

So that, you could source

a bigger shipment for me.

And what do you do?

You screw me!

Do you know how that will

play with my brothers?

[SCOFFS]

It's not well.

So get me the money,

or get me the stuff.

I cannot go home empty-handed.

My keys.

Hey, just wait. Wait, wait.

Wait. Just wait one second.

Don't go back in there.

I had felt his staring eyes ♪

You might think that he's real cool ♪

I know he's a real ♪

[JACK] Got more champagne.

Where will I put it?

Oh, you're okay.

Why wouldn't he be?

Oh, you know, the old back.

She thinks I overdo it.

Okay, Jack, look, I want you to

keep an eye on this till, mate.

If it starts to fill up, give me a yell.

I'll transfer the takings to the safe.

People still use cash, eh?

Yeah, a few of us holdouts left.

Has anybody handed in a set of keys?

Oh, yeah. You're in luck, just came in.

Cheers.

I'm gonna call my brothers.

And I'm gonna tell them

that the problem's solved.

'Cause you're gonna solve it, right?

Right.

Um, one thing. They are

terrible with their tempers.

- This is what it's about.

- Tobacco?

Chop-chop.

Farmers who grow ill*gal

crops, deal it to syndicates

who sell it on to finance harder drugs.

How.. What?

- What's Dan got to do with this?

- He's a middleman.

He got caught short-changing a

client, Maddie and her brothers.

- 50,000.

- Hm.

So that's the pressure he's been under.

[CRASH]

You don't care. You never did.

Alright, that's it, mate.

You're embarrassing yourself now.

You're the embarrassment, mate.

You never really cared about the farm

a great deal, did you,

little brother, eh?

Didn't really care that much

about everything that Mum and Dad did.

Everything they built

up over all those years,

you couldn't give a sh*t about!

- The farm didn't go broke

- Shut up!

Because of me, Tom.

It went under because you

never took responsibility.

[LAUGHS] Me?

Mate, you're the one

who couldn't hack it

Hey, why don't we just get the

temperature down a bit, fellas?

How many times did I bail you out?

And how many times did you

piss away every opportunity?

[GRUNTS]

- Come here!

- Get off me!

We don't need that.

[JACK] Come on.

Argh. Come on. Come on. Come on.

- You never

- Come on, just Let's go.

You wait. You'll get it, mate!

Come on!

You certainly know how to put

on a good show for New Year's.

Yeah, well, I got a

new resolution in mind.

- Oh, yeah?

- Yeah.

- Can you divorce a sibling?

- Hm!

Is that a real thing?

Tom feels hard done-by.

Well, no alcoholic needs

a publican as a brother.

Tom's got substance issues.

There's not much help

you can give to someone

who doesn't want to be helped.

Yeah, well, that sounds

like the voice of experience.

Yeah. Yeah, many years in emergency.

Doesn't mean you stop trying.

[SIGHS]

You know, you're a good sort, Joan.

Jack's a lucky man.

Oh, no. Jack and I, it's not like

Oh!

You're gonna have

quite the shiner there.

- Here, hold that.

- Ow!

Thanks.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

[RUTH] Why didn't you tell me?

[DAN] 'Cause I didn't want you to know.

I thought we had something.

We should never have gotten involved.

This is never gonna work.

- Dan, I wanna help you.

- I don't want your help!

It was a fling. Alright?

- Didn't mean anything.

- What?

Don't you dare.

What the hell are you doing,

Ruth? This behaviour isn't on.

You-you're fired.

Your brother punches you,

steals from you, that's fine.

I lose my temper once

and it's "you're fired?"

After all these years?

I'll pay you through the

end of the shift. Get out.

Fine. You can all get stuffed.

Roger. Ruth!

Just clean it up.

Ruth, wait!

What for?

You've both got to want it, right?

Otherwise, what's the point?

Yeah, but

Happy New Year.

I hope it's better than this one.

Same to you.

Happy New Year, Joan.

You too, Jack.

[MELLOW MUSIC]

[LAUGHS]

[SIGHS] Hello, you. Gosh, I'm pooped.

- That was exhausting.

- Yeah.

Right, well, I'll,

um, sleep on the floor.

Oh, don't be daft.

The bed's big enough.

We're both grown-ups, aren't we?

Yeah.

[SIGHS]

[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

[EXHALES]

Joan!

[DOG BARKS]

Joan, there's a fire!

Oh. Oh, no!

- Come out.

- Jack, the door's stuck.

The handle's come off.

- Step back.

- Okay.

[SCREAMS]

- Come on. Come on, Diesel.

- Come on, Diesel.

[JACK COUGHING]

Oh, my bag! My bag!

Joan, forget it!

Joan!

- Joan!

- Yeah?

Get going. Give me that.

[INTENSE MUSIC]

- Come on, come on.

- Oh, dammit.

[JACK] Come on. Come on, Joan.

Get here as quick as you can,

- the place is going up fast.

- Roger, how'd this start?

- Dammit!

- I don't know, I've been robbed.

- The safe's been robbed.

- Anyone in here?

- You need to get out.

- I haven't checked.

- Hey.

- Come on.

Fire, anyone in here, get out!

Get out, there's a fire!

Come on, Roger. Everyone

needs to get out.

- Fire! Everyone out!

- Jack, come on!

Fire!

[COUGHING]

Jack, are you okay?

Yeah, it's the bloody

smoke. Where's Diesel?

- Where is he?

- Diez?

- Diesel!

- Diesel.

Diesel? Come here. Come here.

What are you doing? Come here.

[SIREN WAILING]

I'll let the arson guys know.

- Thanks, mate.

- Okay.

[FEMALE #1] Deep breath.

That's it. Well done.

So, do we know how it started?

Arson.

- Accelerant in the kitchen.

- Oh!

Did you see anything, Roger?

Where were you when the fire started?

What, are you, are you accu

I was seeing the last of the guests out.

Lucky I did.

[JOAN] Well, if it wasn't Roger

Dan? He needed money.

Maybe if he was trying

to cover the theft?

And he's nowhere to be seen now.

[RUTH COUGHS]

Hey, Ruth! Ruth. You okay?

Yeah, there's so much smoke.

- Here. Have some water.

- Have you seen Dan?

No, nobody has.

No, it's alright.

There's no one in the

building, they checked.

He must've got out.

I was at home, and I-I keep calling him

but he's not answering.

I heard it started in the kitchen

and I just thought maybe

He's alright. He's gonna be alright.

Do they know how it started?

- It's looking like arson.

- Oh!

- Maybe it was Dan's friend.

- Maddie?

Didn't she leave when

you gave her the keys?

[JACK] Couldn't.

Two flat tires.

Mysteriously deflated. Very clever.

Maybe the sarge'd like

to have a look in her car.

Hey, sarge. Lady over there.

I'd be checking the boot of her car.

Right-O. We'll take a look.

Her brothers won't be

happy by the sound of them.

There was no evidence

connecting her to the fire.

Whoever started the fire, it

feels like an attack of sorts.

Personal beef.

Tom's Ute.

Empty.

A motive and a means.

And I know where he'll be.

Talking to his parents.

[JOAN SIGHS]

[JACK] Round here somewhere.

Tom?

You okay, mate?

I'm-I'm fine.

We need to get you to a hospital.

Been telling Mum and

Dad about the fire, hey?

Gonna call an ambulance.

Any idea how the fire started, mate?

Wasn't me.

I passed out in the back of the Ute.

Woke up when the place went up.

Was trying Was trying to find Rog.

Is Rog Is Rog okay?

Yeah, yeah. Roger's okay.

- But you found the safe.

- What?

Well, you knew where it was,

you knew what was in it

I guess you knew the

combination, didn't you?

How many times I thought

of burning that pub down.

But I didn't.

I didn't steal his money,

I don't want his money.

Righty-O.

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

It's on its way.

It's just not right.

Arson Squad think it is.

But Tom's burns don't

even support arson.

Nah, it'd be on his face and

arms, not his palms and knees.

Yeah, from crawling to escape the fire.

We appreciate your efforts

but we have our person of interest.

They won't even look for Dan. Ugh!

Move along, old people.

It's so condescending.

Jack, they've got the wrong

person, I just know it.

But we know that any number of people

could've started that fire.

We need to go back and

talk to the detective.

Sit her down and just tell her.

Oh! I know what you're thinking.

You're thinking it's

like with Ian, that I just

refuse to believe he's guilty.

[UPBEAT MUSIC]

You ready?

Yeah.

Prick.

Showing your face here.

- What was that about?

- Nothing.

Hi. What time do you call this?

We got held up a bit.

Well, you're here now. Joan, hello.

Lovely to meet you.

Is there anything I can

get you before we start?

- Tea, water?

- No. No, thank you. I'm fine.

I'll have a cup of tea.

Come through.

So you had no idea that your husband was

politically active at university?

Ian? No.

He always read the papers,

but he never got involved.

Just to confirm the image

on the screen is your husband

Ian Kirkhope, also known as Rob Deacon.

Yes. Where was that picture taken?

In Brisbane. By an embedded

UPO, Undercover Police Officer.

Shortly before he disappeared.

He looks so angry.

Rob Deacon was the leader

of an anti-government student movement.

Protests he got involved

with were pretty violent.

On both sides.

Are you trying to tell me that he was

some sort of rioting activist?

I don't think that's possible.

The person m*rder*d by Rob Deacon, Ian,

was the UPO who covertly

took these photos.

But he-he wouldn't do that.

He just wouldn't hurt anyone.

The officer was wearing a

wire at the time of her death.

A woman?

[GASPS]

What you're about to

hear, it's quite graphic.

So if you'd rather not, we can

No, no. I want to hear it.

I want to hear it.

- What do we want?

- The right to protest!

- When do we want it?

- Now!

- What do we want?

- The right to protest!

- When do we want it?

- Now!

The police charged at the protesters.

The government of the day

wanted the protest snuffed out.

[LIZ] And the protesters fought back,

and the clashes became

increasingly violent.

[ROB] Everyone! Grab a weapon.

- Anything you can find!

- It's him.

Fight back! Let's go!

[CLAMOURING]

The officer's identity was compromised

when she called for backup.

Then what happened?

[POLLY] They are coming from the east.

Repeat, they are coming

from the east with weapons.

[ROB] Polly, what are you

saying, are you one of them?

- Rob, get off!

- Ah! I trusted you!

You're one of them?!

That's Ian finding the wire on the UPO.

[ROB] We trusted you!

What's wrong with his voice?

Riot police were deploying tear gas.

It would've been just, you

know, filled with smoke.

This is where the incident takes place.

- Rob, no, please!

- Now, get back!

- Ah!

- I said, "Get back!"

[FEMALE #2] Get off of

him, Polly! Wait, Rob!

Who was that? There was a woman's voice.

She could be a witness!

Oh, no, we haven't been

able to confirm her identity.

We need to find her.

She'll know what really happened.

What? What's that look about?

Liz has more to play for us.

[g*nsh*t]

[ROB] Oh, my God.

- Oh, God, no!

- My God.

- No

- She's dead.

- Go, get out of here.

- Ian wouldn't sh**t anyone.

[IAN] Run! Run! She's dead!

Ian wouldn't sh**t anyone.

[IAN] Run, go!

He couldn't.

I'm sorry.

He couldn't.

He couldn't.

[CRIES]

I need a minute.

We'll be outside.

[MELLOW MUSIC]

Any way we can put this

genie back in the bottle?

What, this active investigation

your enquiries triggered?

Doesn't work that way these days.

Doesn't do anyone any

good, you know, raking up

this sort of muck, does it?

[LIZ] Can't stop asking

questions 'cause the answers

you're getting aren't the ones you want.

Who taught me that?

Some idiot.

[CHUCKLING]

Is there anything else I need to know?

From your investigation

that might impact mine?

[JACK] $250,000.

That still doesn't mean he's

guilty of k*lling somebody.

What did Ian need a quarter

of a million in cash for?

And how is it connected to

him coming back to Australia?

And how long have you

been sitting on this?

Not long.

Dad.

[JOAN] No, no, Jack's not guilty.

This is the last link that I had to Ian,

and I, I hoped it might be the key

to explaining it all.

Well, if it is, you'll

be the first to find out.

[MELLOW MUSIC]

Receipt for 250,000.

Big thing for you, coming

to a police station.

After everything.

Thanks for helping Joan.

I know you bent a few rules.

We're never gonna talk about

how the job ended for you?

Hm. Joan's lovely.

Nothing's going on, Lizzie.

- Detective Inspector.

- Lizzie.

She's good for you.

She's got you working again.

[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

How long since you last saw Liz?

Little while.

Something happened that made

you leave the force, didn't it?

In the past.

The past.

It's hard not to let it consume you.

Come on, let's go.

[AUTOMATED VOICE] Your destination

is Osprey Falls, Queensland.

Start on

[SIGHS]

Must have been difficult

in there, listening to Ian.

I don't even wanna

think about it anymore.

I'm too flipping tired and hungry.

Nuts?

Where'd you get those?

Found 'em.

They got it wrong you know. Pub fire.

After listening to Ian's croaky voice,

there was someone else

with a croaky voice

who claimed they weren't in

the pub when the fire started.

And it wasn't Tom.

No, it wasn't Tom.

It was someone who might

be hiding their symptoms.

And putting their life at risk.

Yeah.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Ruth!

Ruth!

[KNOCKING]

Ruth?

Ruth?

- Ruth?

- Ruth?

[DOG BARKS]

Ruth?

Ruth? Ruth?

Ruth?

Jack, get an ambulance.

The airways are damaged.

We're gonna get you some help, okay?

[MALE #1] What's your emergency?

I need an ambulance.

Joan, look.

[SIREN WAILING]

It's okay. Shh.

It's okay.

How's she doing?

They're transferring her

to Brisbane for more tests.

She thought a lot of you, mate.

Knocked over a safe.

And started a fire to cover her tracks.

That's because of me. I

mean, this is my fault.

What was the 50,000 for?

My dad, he's a gambler.

He got himself into trouble, again.

So I paid his debt.

Thought I could hold off Maddie

until I fixed it, but then

Ruth fixed it for you.

Why would she do this?

People do inexplicable things for love.

[JACK] You gonna be charged?

Well, the police said if

I testify against Maddie

and her family, I should be okay, but

it's not me I'm worried about.

[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

Hey. How you going? You doing good?

- I'm okay.

- Good. I'm here.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, it's

not a bloody race, Roger.

You can't use your hands, you old fool.

[TOM] Well I'm not an invalid, mate.

[ROGER] Actually, you are.

Well, just, just wait here.

- Where are you going?

- Shut up!

Hey, mate.

Hey.

I just want to say thank you

for what you did for my brother.

Team effort, wasn't it?

Look after yourself.

See you, Joan.

- Bye.

- In your own time, Rog.

- Right-O.

- All the best, mate.

[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

There you go.

[JOAN] Thank you.

I don't believe he was a m*rder*r.

He can't have been.

[SIGHS]

What do you want to do now?

I need to know who my husband was.
