(INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER)

You know it'd save time if you
sent the body straight to Brisbane?

Yeah, well, nearest
hospital's Mackay.

Yeah, but you can skip the
formalities if you suspect foul play.

Yeah, well, it's
not my decision.

It's theirs.

You know, this could be
connected to Isabel's m*rder?

This is Jim Cormack.

He's a cold case
boffin from Brisvegas.

He's found love
in our fair town,

beguiled by its exotic beauty.

(TURNER CHUCKLES)

(DOOR CLOSES, ENGINE STARTS)

(INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER)

- (MAN VOCALISES MELODY)
- (LAUGHS)

CORMACK: Have you got someone
that could stay with you?

(TASHA SIGHS)

- Billy was my someone.
- (WATER POURS)

Uh, sugar?

That's evil sh*t.

It wrecked Billy's
teeth, you know?

Mmm. Got his teeth
fixed in prison.

So... "No reason
to go back inside,

"now I got my teeth
fixed." (LAUGHS)

That's what he said.

(RATTLING)

What the f*ck...?

Ugh...

(LAUGHS)

Do you know what Billy
wanted to talk to me about?

What was it about
Hector's camera?

Mmm.

Yeah, he nicked it,
with Steve Walcott.

After the formal.

Is it here?

(EXHALES)

Do you know what
was on the tape?

I don't know, but...

..it had something
to do with Steve.

Billy said he was set
for a big payday and...

I tried to warn him.

But, you know, he
always trusted Steve.

Have you taken something?

Was just a kid who
wanted a dad, you know?

- Come on, show me.
- (LAUGHS) No.

Uh-uh, show me.

(SNIFFLES)

(PILLS RATTLE)

- Hey.
- Hey...

- I'll top you up later.
- No.

I promise, OK?

Tasha...

You know, I'm not
going to k*ll myself.

(SNIFFLES)

And Billy didn't
k*ll himself either.

No matter what anyone tells you.

Detective. What
are you doing here?

You know what happened, right?

Yeah.

It's awful.

Just getting Billy's
stuff for Tasha.

Can't imagine what
she's going through.

Billy knew that he had to
move. He was squatting.

You know, Billy
called me last night.

Yeah.

Hazel's lovely.

- Yes, she is lovely.
- Hmm.

Oh! Get out of here.

Quinn got the wrong idea.
Nothing's happening.

No, I don't know Quinn.

Mum got it from someone
in her book club,

who got it from the motel owner.

Of course she did.

Can I have a little sneaky peek.

Knock yourself out.

Billy had a... a bit of a
crush on me, back in the day.

Hooked up a couple of times, but
I didn't tell Izzy because...

well, she hated him.

(EXHALES)

Why'd she hate him?

Because he's an assh*le.

Was.

Has Billy done any work for
your dad since he'd been out?

Not that I know of.

You know, they had an
altercation at the pub, right?

- I'll ask Dad about it.
- Yeah.

He's not really involved
in the business anymore.

He's a bit more of
a figurehead, so...

Why are you treating
us like criminals?

We were kids when Izzy d*ed.

f*cking hate that time capsule!

(INDISTINCT CHATTER,
LAUGHTER, POLICE RADIO)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER CONTINUES)

HAZEL: What happened? People are
saying that he k*lled himself.

Is it true?

CORMACK: Well... he is dead.

That much is true.

You think it's connected?

I reckon so, but, um...

the Mackay detectives
are in charge now,

so they'll, uh, decide
how deep to dig.

Hey, I thought you might want to go
see Mary and give her a heads-up.

I'm sending an officer to collect
a sample of Ezekiel's DNA.

- What for?
- To see if it might be a match

to the blood that was
found on Isabel's hand.

- Cormack, he was with Dad.
- We have no proof of that.

OK?

I've got Turner
gunning for Ezekiel,

and I can't even prove that his
cousins were even in Ashford,

let alone missing.

So, that's where we're at.

Yeah, alright.

I think the hotel owner
thought that we were...

making sweet, sweet love.

You wish.

I'm going to Brisbane tomorrow.

Gonna talk to the old man.

- Hmm?
- Bad idea?

Maybe.

Maybe not.

- What kind of advice is that?
- (MESSAGE ALERT CHIMES)

CORMACK: You good?

(SIGHS)

You don't look good.

Gotta go.

EZEKIEL: Did Billy thr*aten you?

IZZY: Not really, but
it was pretty creepy.

He was wearing an Ankou t-shirt.

I reckon it was him
on the trail bike.

I need to talk to Pastor Joe.

You can't tell him about
Dalkeith. I've lied to him.

I won't mention you.

We could talk to Chloe's
dad. She's my best friend.

The Walcotts are like
my second family.

Trust me, Steve will help us.

(BELL RINGS)

Um, OK, we're nearly done.

Just a couple more things.

Thank you SO much,
Chloe. About bloody time.

Hey, Iz, smile for me.

Izzy. Come on, now!

(SHUTTER CLICKS)

You know, um, Dad's almost
finished harvesting,

so, could, uh,

go back to the love
shack whenever we want.

Ugh!

(LAUGHTER)

Chloe's just jealous.

Go on. Meet me after class.

(NEARLY LOST YOU BY
SCREAMING TREES PLAYS)

Mmm! This is a good one.

IZZY: "Anton's make-out trax."

- Yeah.
- Is that from Tasha?

(ENGINE APPROACHES)

What is it? You alright?

Nah. Where are you off to?

I need you guys to stay
away from the shed.

Oh, I thought you'd
done with it by now.

Some clown who spent the
night there last night,

as a thank you, he's tipped
over a drum of the pesticide.

Whole place is toxic.

I've padlocked it until
we get it cleaned.

But, you know, it shits me.

I remember time where you didn't
even need to lock your front door.

You should rinse your eyes.

I'll go and, uh, jump into the
water hole over at Pioneer.

That's where I used to take
your mum, back in the day.

Right. Thanks for that, Dad.

Yeah. You know, we never
actually wore togs, back then.

- No need to. No-one around...
- Right. Well...

I can't actually hear him.

- Can you hear him right now?
- No.

I can't hear him,
whatever he's saying.

I'm just suggesting you guys
go and enjoy the waterhole,

but, uh, stay safe, yeah?

Safe?

He knows, doesn't he?

If my dad finds out, I'm dead.

Come on, he won't tell
anyone. He couldn't care less.

Izzy, come here.

Have you been
sleeping with Tash?

Izzy, come on!

You know I love you.

I should go home.

It's still early!

IZZY: Get a different
make-out track next time.

ANTON: Come on, it's
just a stupid tape!

CHLOE: Nightclubs, surfing at
Bondi, hot Spanish backpackers.

Uh, what now?

Dad! Stalker, much.
What do you want?

Your mum and I just went and picked
up your formal shoes in town.

But... I guess you
don't want them.

No, I do.

How much? How much
do you want them?

- Ah, Dad!
- Oh, my God. (LAUGHS)

Thank you. You're the best.

I actually have...
Wait, let me see.

I picked up a pair from
the catalogue for you,

because you can't find
anything good in Ashford.

What?

- Oh, thank you so much.
- OK.

What do I owe you?

Uh, just call it
a graduation gift.

Hey, I chased up the workers you
were asking about the other day.

Whole mob of them went west,
fence building. Hard yakka.

Some of them couldn't hack it.

Said they were... they
were hitching to Brissie.

Then going home.

Now, your mum and I, we don't
want you driving at night.

- So we're going to pay for motels.
- We're sleeping in Millie.

Wh... (LAUGHS) No way. Too
many weirdoes out there.

I mean, I'll probably
have Millie to myself

because Izzy hasn't even
told her parents yet.

She's scared of Pastor Joe, Dad.

Well, I could talk
to him if you like?

No, please don't.

No, no. I can reassure
them. We're all over this.

Lynn and I have already worked out
what to do when the van breaks down.

Millie will last
longer than you, Dad.

(LAUGHS) Yeah? We'll
argue about it later.

I'm paying for roadside assist.

(SIGHS)

Hey, have you cancelled your
holiday shifts at the video store?

If you're piking, just tell me and
I'll find someone else to go with.

I mean, I'd be really cut,

but probably not as cut as you'll
be when you end up stuck here.

My parents are
nothing like yours.

I don't want to disappoint them.

Izzy, you have to
live your own life.

They're not going to be
upset when they understand

it's what you
ACTUALLY want to do.

IZZY: Some of them
went to Brisbane.

Some of them went back home.

They wouldn't go home
without telling me.

They said that they
didn't like the work.

They couldn't leave
even if they wanted to.

The mill keeps our pay -

deducts food, rent,
boots, everything.

They don't have enough
money for a plane ticket.

They don't even have
their passports.

The boss keeps
them at his house.

Give me one more
chance to fix this.

(CLATTERING)

(TOILET FLUSHES)

(DOOR CLOSES)

(DOOR OPENS)

STEVE: Isabel.

Steve...

Chloe's not here.

Yeah, I know.

I just came...

to grab my formal shoes.

- Oh.
- I forgot them.

Thanks again. They're
really pretty.

That's alright. You're welcome.

Well, I better get home.

It's getting dark.

Ride safe.

IZZY: I've seen the Ankou here,

sharpening its scythe,

waiting to reap our souls.

There are people here I trusted.

But now I know they
feed on suffering.

(INHALES SHAKILY)

(EXHALES)

- (BEEP!)
- (BUZZING, DOOR CLANGS)

- (BEEP!)

(DOOR CLOSES HEAVILY, BUZZING)

I didn't think you'd come.

I didn't want you to show up on
my doorstep when you got out.

(LAUGHS)

You got a missus?

I've got grandkids?

You can tell almost
anything about most people

from the Internet.

I'm a cat lover.

I'm a Hufflepuff.

I bleach my arse.

But not you.

The only thing I
know about you is...

..you're a cop.

What do you want
to tell me, Dad?

I thought you'd want to know.

A few months ago...

..Ritchie come to see me.

Bullshit.

(CORMACK LAUGHS SOFTLY)

OK. What did he look like, then?

Bit like you.

But... Less f*cking miserable.

Where's he been
all this time, hmm?

Don't know. We didn't
talk about that.

What did you talk about, then?

He's in trouble.

He needs help.

What kind of trouble?

Time.

(DOOR CLOSES, BUZZING)

(SEATBELT JAMS)

(PHONE RINGS)

(BUCKLES SEATBELT)

- (SIGHS)
- (PHONE CONTINUES RINGING)

Hey.

HAZEL: Hey. How'd
it go with your dad?

(LAUGHS)

- As expected.
- Oh, that good.

You want to talk about it?

No.

No, he's full of sh*t.

He's just trying to wind me up.

When you coming back, then?

Tonight.

I've been thinking about
that time capsule video,

and...

I'd like to watch it.

Yes, of course. Um...

Come around any time tomorrow.

Yeah, cool. I'll see you then.

(BIRDS CALL)

What's this?

QUINN: Uh, it came from
the lab this morning.

It's the photos from
the disposable camera

Anton Bianchi put
in the time capsule.

(SIGHS)

Hey...

OK, I need you to get the visitor
logs of prisoner number at Wacol.

OK?

And I need the security footage

of any visitor he's had
in the last three months.

Hey, um, sure, but...

wouldn't it be quicker and easier to
just go through the cold case unit?

It's... between you and I, OK?

It's a personal matter, so...

QUINN: OK.

Hey.

- Where are the detectives?
- Back in Mackay.

They think it was an accident.

Ugh...

Come on! Really?

Billy claimed that he had
information about Isabel's m*rder.

Billy is a loose unit.

Quite frankly, I'm surprised
that he survived this long...

If somebody else was involved,

it could have been the same
person that k*lled Isabel.

- Yeah, we all know who k*lled the Baker girl.
- Do you not understand... Who?

years ago, I
solved that case.

You put the cherry on
top - well done, you.

So now you can pack your
bags and f*ck off home.

I cannot decide if you're corrupt
or you're just bloody useless.

- And let me go think.
- f*ck ff home.

OK. Maybe it's both.

Big tick in both columns.

Yes!

Oh, f*cking hell.

CHLOE: I'll take
care of the funeral.

TASHA: (MOCKINGLY) Oh, really?

How exciting.

You going to pick up the bar
tab at the wake as well? Huh?

Billy has a lot of friends.

'Course. Anything.

Why are you helping us now?

Billy is part of
the mill family.

(LAUGHS) Come on...

I told him that I couldn't stay
in the house on Harper's Road.

Yeah, he said.

Well, I feel sh*t about it.

I di... I didn't
think he would...

He would...?

He would what?

He didn't k*ll himself.

Billy had a video
camera. It's not here.

Sorry. That's, um...

That's all that was out there.

Yeah, right. Right.

Thanks for stopping by.

Um...

If... If you need
anything, just... call, OK?

Yep.

I mean it, Tasha.
Alright. Oh...

Alright.

(MUTTERS) f*cking stupid...

(SNIFFS)

(WHISTLING)

What do you want this time?

Thought you might
want a copy of these.

You should check in on Tasha.

She could really use
a friend right now.

Yeah. No, I should. Should.

Just got a bit going
on at the moment.

(METAL CLANKS)

What's all this about?

Where'd you get that?

It was just lying on
Billy's sleeping bag.

You didn't have to
do anything to him.

I didn't.

You're resigning from the board,

and you're selling me
% of your shares.

I'm not giving you control.

Sign them over to
your grandkids, then.

Or what?

What happened to those boys?

I told you, I have no idea.

Doesn't matter.

I'll use this predator footage.
The board will vote you off.

- You'll be a dirty old man, at best.
- Don't...

Don't be ridiculous.

Your old mates might stick by you,
but not the rest of the world.

I've never had to do what
Isabell accused me of doing.

That's what they all say, until
the women tell their side.

Oh, save me the
self-righteous bullshit.

I know how you run the
place. You scam the workers.

- You scam the government.
- I've learnt from the best.

There's absolutely nothing different
to anything that you've done.

(STEVE SCOFFS)

Don't worry. I won't
k*ll the golden goose.

Chloe, look...

It's me.

Dad.

And I love you.

So retire.

Sail off with a crew of bimbos

and be grateful that you
got away with it all.

This is my family's mill,
the heart of Ashford.

We drive the economy
of this great region.

The mill has given countless
jobs to people far and wide,

and our sugar is exported
all over the world.

Basically, we put
Ashford on the map,

which is why it should really
be called Walcottsville.

Anyway. That's enough from me.

I'm Chloe Walcott, the
daughter in Walcott & Sons.

IZZY: Huh. Walcottsville?

CHLOE: None of you would be
here if it wasn't for the mill.

Hector, you can edit
this out, right?

HECTOR: Chloe, please!

- (INDISTINCT CHATTER)
- (LAUGHTER, SQUEALING)

Hector Ford's a stalker.

(LAUGHTER)

IZZY: I don't know
how to play hockey.

(CHEERING)

GIRL : Hey, Izzy!

Rarr! (LAUGHS)

This is my sister, Hazel.

Um, she's a deadly
little hockey player.

But you probably already know
that by the time you watch this,

because she'll be in the
Olympics, doing her thang...

Doing it good!

Is this for the time capsule?

- Oh, yeah.
- Very proud of you. Come here.

Give us a kissy.
Come on. (LAUGHS)

Thank you for watching our
time capsule documentary.

- See you in !
- years!

(ALL CHEER)

This is the first time I've seen
my sister since we lost her.

I forgot how funny she was.

(SCREAMING)

- Don't do that.
- (BOY LAUGHS)

IZZY: Nearly gave
me a heart att*ck.

CORMACK: I haven't seen this.

HECTOR: What is this place?

This is... Satan's memorial...

..to Ashford's dark past,

to bad business.

But it's not just history.

It's still happening now.

I saw it.

Right there.

(SONG PLAYS WITH MAN
SINGING IN OWN LANGUAGE)

PASTOR JOE: Put on the
full armour of God...

..so that you can take a s*ab

against the devil's schemes.

For our struggle...

..is not against
flesh and blood...

..but against the powers

of this dark place...

..and the spiritual
forces of evil

in the heavenly realm.

We ask you all of this
in the name of Jesus.

Amen.

Steve.

Hey. Pastor Joe, girls.

How are you?

Oh, you know - under the pump
with the crush, as per usual.

Never bloody stops.

No rest for the wicked, eh?

How about you? How
you getting on?

I'm a little bit
troubled, actually.

A couple of my boys from Tanna
have just dropped off the map,

and we think that Billy Hopkins
might have driven them somewhere.

Now, they're just . We're
just a little bit worried.

Could you... could you ask him?

Niman and Kalip's their names.

Yeah, yeah, I'll ask. But you
know how vague Billy gets.

Forget his own head if
it wasn't screwed on, eh?

Maybe we should report
them missing to the police.

Yeah, yeah, well, we
could do that, Izzy,

but then the police might find
some undocumented workers.

And, you know, your dad and I have
to... bend the rules a little bit

just to make sure that, um...
everyone gets enough work.

If we get the cops
involved, we, um...

might have to cut a
few loose, you know?

Joe, you're in charge
of human resources.

What do you reckon?

Human resources. Shouldn't
you be paying him, then?

(LAUGHS)

(BOTH LAUGH)

Let's just leave the cops
out of this, alright?

I'll talk to Billy.

- God be with you, Steve.
- Yeah, and you too, mate.

Don't you ever speak to
your elders like that again.

It's true.

You spend more time helping
his workers than he does.

I work for my congregation
where I'm needed, OK?

Not for the mill.

(BIRDS CALL)

- What are you doing?
- Nothing.

Stop. (LAUGHS) Stop!

- Sorry.
- (BOTH LAUGH)

Max?

Max Phelps. Is he
your boyfriend?

No.

He's really cute.

He's not my boyfriend.

Kylie said that Adam
said that Max likes me.

He wrote my name on the
outside of his shoes.

I just didn't want
Mum and Dad to see.

I can do yours.

Izzy loves Anton.

- No.
- Why? Isn't he your boyfriend?

I have an idea.

OK.

Well, isn't that cute?

... I'm sure
that's the lucky one.

Lovely to see you again.

My best to your brother.

Ladies! Tickets?

Hello, Victor.

From our congregation.

Just like, say thank you for
all the work that your mob does

for the community.

(STAMMERS)

Oh!

Well, I don't know how many
tickets this buys you, it's...

No tickets required.
It's a donation.

That's very generous,
but at least take a cake.

- Yeah.
- AUNTY ROSA: No need to ask me twice.

Oh, Izzy, you look beautiful.

- Are you excited about the formal?
- Yeah. Really excited.

Yeah. Anton says
your dress is blue.

'Cause I've made your
corsage out of silk flowers.

Something you can keep,
you know, as a keepsake.

But there's hundreds
of shades of blue.

Victor suggested white 'cause
it goes with everything.

VICTOR: Apparently not, though.

KATHERINE: I like to say for
white for those bigger occasions.

Like your, uh, wedding dress.

KATHERINE: Well, you've got
to get through uni first.

I mean, I'll be amazed if
Anton lasts a year in the city.

And what use is an
agriculture degree?

I mean, it's the
son of a farmer.

But, that's what they
want to do nowadays.

- Anything to put off starting work.
- VICTOR: Mm-hm.

Of course, Izzy's
scholarship's different.

You must be so proud of her.

We are. Very proud.

So proud. Yeah.

So I've gone with lilac.

Lilac!

So thoughtful of you, Katherine.

Thank you so much.

We'll take the chocolate
mud cake, thanks.

Izzy.

KATHERINE: Go for it.

HAZEL: What are you going to do?

I don't know.

- You can't tell the truth.
- (DOOR OPENS, FOOTSTEPS APPROACH)

Just say Anton and Chloe
are having sex, not you.

You're grounded.

You will not attend the dance
with that Bianchi boy, or anyone.

You go to your room.

- Why?
- Now is not the time, Izzy.

Izzy. Sit up, please.

You know you've been given
so many opportunities, eh?

I know.

You're the future
of this family.

You represent this family.

But I'm never allowed
to forget the past.

I represent this family,
but I'm not a boy -

I just have to do
whatever I'm told.

I'm equal, but I can't
have a white boyfriend.

I have to be black and white.

And a leader and a girl.
And the future and the past.

Anything else?

Plenty.

Get over yourself.

Respect your elders,
and respect yourself.

And feel some shame
for lying to us.

I do. Well, feel more.

You're wasting your promise
on that Bianchi fella.

And chasing after Zeke.

I'm not chasing after him. I'm
helping him, like Dad taught us.

You been safe with
that Bianchi fella?

His name's Anton.

You break my heart.

When you start
living your truth...

..you don't need to lie.

You mean when I
live Dad's truth?

No, that's not what I mean.

Who are you?

Hey, missy?

When you stop lying...

..who is Isabel Baker?

It's not that bad.

Hazel doesn't even
know what sex is.

- Do so.
- She got confused.

Izzy's worked too
hard this year.

AUNTY ROSA: She has.

The formal is her reward for
all that hard work she's done.

AUNTY ROSA: Mmm.

I won't stop her from going.

But I won't celebrate.

I was in town. I thought
I'd give you a lift.

Oh.

Look. Coach says I can keep it.

Come on. Nan's
going to be rapt.

Speaking of... We should go.

- See you, coach.
- Yeah, see you!

HAZEL: You can have that.

See you, Hazel!

(INDISTINCT TRAINING

- You want tape?
- Yes, please.

(PHONE RINGS)

- Hey.
- So, Ezekiel's DNA test came back.

It's not a direct match for
the blood on Isabel's hand,

but it is a familial match.

It must have been
one of the cousins.

Which means Izzy must've
known where they were.

Yeah, well, why
didn't she tell Dad?

Did you tell him everything
when you were her age?

(METAL GROANS)

(CAR DOOR CLOSES)

- (SIGHS)
- Hey. So...

What are we looking for?

This is... Satan's memorial...

..to Ashford's its dark past...

to bad business.

Are we looking for
anything specific?

I mean, this happened
a really long time ago.

The blood on Isabel's hands

belongs to one of the
boys missing from Vanuatu.

Which means...

They saw each other that night.

Isabel is on camera, here,
talking about Satan's memorial.

So this place is
connected to her death.

Has Dad gone to men's group?

Yeah, bub, he's gone.

There's something
I need to tell you.

I should have told
you a long time ago.

I thought I had good
reasons... not to tell anyone.

I was just ashamed.

Hey...

Is it about Izzy?

No.

It's about Kalana's dad.

Sarge...

Sarge.

When you and Dad drove out
to Yarabah to help out,

I came home.

And Anton showed up here.

What for?

Just to talk about Izzy.

He took me out to see
a painting she did.

At a shed in the cane.

He was camping out there.

He was in a bad way, Mum.

But after that...

..he came over every day.

..just to talk about Izzy.

We got close.

I don't know, but it felt...

It felt like we couldn't
stop... what happened...

between us.

Yeah...

After I went back to
uni, I was horrified.

And it wasn't just because...

he was her boyfriend.

He was getting married.

The next time I came home, you
couldn't pay me to be near him.

Like, there was no
attraction whatsoever.

I don't know. I
can't explain it.

AUNTY ROSA: I can.

Kalana.

It was her time.

Doesn't matter how she
came into this world.

She was meant to be.

Yes, yes.

(PHONE RINGS)

- Hi, it's Hazel. Leave a message.
- (BEEP!)

Hi.

I, uh, I've got something
important to tell you.

Can you meet me at the
station later tonight?

Turner's at the business
awards, so the coast is clear.

Yeah.

HAZEL: I'm sorry, I lied.

Anton's marriage
would have got ruined

if I had to come up
and told the truth.

And you went to never lie, so I
couldn't tell you guys either.

You were protecting us.

And Anton?

No.

Speak the truth.

I just knew I'd done something
horrible and I couldn't face myself.

I'm sorry.

It's alright.

We're going to be OK.

Everything's going
to be alright.

Come on.

(WHISPERS) It's all good.

QUINN: Why would she come
here after her formal?

(SIGHS)

Maybe the boys were hiding here.

Which would mean this
is where it happened.

It feels that way.

Except there's no red dirt, and
her dress was covered in red dirt.

(OH MY LOVER BY PJ
HARVEY PLAYS LOUDLY)

(DOOR OPENS)

(OH MY LOVER CONTINUES)

What's wrong? You OK?

Mmm...

(ENGINE REVS)

This is... the song.

What song?

That was playing when
Izzy called at the servo.

HAZEL: (ON PHONE) Iz?
Are you still there?

I can't...

Can't listen to it without
hearing that glitch.

Huh? What glitch?

(TAPE DISTORTS)

That glitch.

(TAPE STOPS)

OK.

So...

This was the tape that was
playing at the servo that night.

No, this is a tape that Tasha
put in the time capsule.

But it must be a copy of
the one she made for Anton.

No...

Anton loved my sister.

She dumped him.

He was drunk and
he was emotional...

His alibi's pretty weak.

I mean, the only person that
can vouch for him is Tasha.

And she's as reliable as
a bloody weather reporter.
