Lars! There's a fucking croc!
If you're a pilot,
you crash into the side of a mountain or into the ocean.
You don't play a game of chicken with a croc.
If you pull on that thread and if you unravel something,
I'd like to know about it.
My husband has taken his own life,
and now my daughter and I have to live with his decision.
Sorry for what?
For fucking my father?
What you did dishonours all cops.
Just seems impossible anybody would want to hurt Lauren.
She wasn't hurt. She was slaughtered.
Is there any history between Amanda and Lauren?
She was given a sentence
that reflected the brutality of her crime.
Sometimes it's just not so obvious why a person does what they do.
Sometimes they know, but they take it to the grave.
Hey, Lou.
Joanne.
It's been a while.
Yeah.
Three hundred and seventy-nine days.
Got you some milk. Thought you could use a cuppa.
Tea's up!
Yep.
So, how's the old campervan? Yeah, she's good.
I, um... had some alignment issues out near Derby,
but I found this guy in Broome and he sorted her out, so... yeah.
How's Anita and Georgie?
Oh, they're good, yeah.
Yeah, it's Georgie's birthday tomorrow.
Can't get her to focus on anything else.
How old?
She's, uh... She's... She's 17.
I'm sorry, I'm an idiot... It's alright. Don't.
I wasn't... It's fine.
I wasn't sure you'd actually make it back, so...
Yeah, me neither, but I...
..you know, it's home, so...
You planning on staying? Yep.
Yeah, I am.
Well, um...
Let's get you unpacked, shall we?
Lou?
Pharrell.
Why is she still here?
I could use a glass of water.
You're a long way out of town. It is a long way.
Discourages all but the most determined visitor.
Yeah, I am determined.
I found you without even a name to go on.
Steve the pilot calls you Twist.
And you're Amanda Pharrell.
This place is wild.
Yeah.
There is more wonder and invention in a square metre of this place
than anything made by man.
Why were you hanging around Lars's plane?
You mean MY plane?
Lars leased it from me.
Then maybe you can tell me why he was buying more fuel
than he needed for the flights he logged.
Leisure time. Weekends away.
No, he spent every weekend with the kids.
He made a point of it.
It had to be deliberate.
He was methodical. His bookkeeping was impeccable.
Do you have access to his books?
I think he was moonlighting.
And what? That got him killed?
Man, you asked me to tell you if I found out anything.
This is what I got.
You'd know
way more about what happens at the airport, wouldn't you?
Afraid I don't.
My work, it's here.
You care for a look?
How do I know I'll come out if I go in there?
It's an invitation, not a command.
Your choice.
Is that what I think it is?
Ah! Come on.
Don't look so worried. I'm sure it's a thing of beauty.
Well, it's the first time June's let me decorate one myself,
so, you know, might be the last
if you think it's a bit shit.
You wanna do the honours?
Oh, Brooke, that's amazing. She's gonna love it.
Come on, it's... Yeah.
So, Anita told me, uh...
..how much it was, but it went in one ear and out the other, so...
Oh, well, you can just pay me mate's rates.
You know, half price. $25's fine.
For keeping Pharrell off my back.
You know, she hasn't been in again since.
I can't accept gifts.
And you should be paid in full for that.
That must have taken ages, right?
Is it true that Joanne's back?
I thought she was gone for good.
Thanks for bringing it in.
I look forward to, uh...
..to sampling the goods.
Yeah.
Sure.
Thanks.
It's a red-bellied black snake.
Pseudechis porphyriacus.
Highly venomous.
She's about to shed HER skin too.
Symbol of healing and rebirth.
And protection.
So you breed these? Is that allowed?
It is...
..if you've got a specialised licence.
Venom is in high demand.
What, you milk them yourself?
So many questions.
Ha-ha.
She's a king brown.
Elapidae Pseudechis.
Our largest venomous snake.
What happens if she bites you?
Well...
..she'll hang on and chew
till she's injected me with more venom
than any other snake in the world can muster.
Venom saves more lives than takes.
It's a multi-purpose therapeutic medicine.
Also congeals blood in surgical patients.
Kills tumour cells in cancer research.
So you're a good guy? Is that the message here?
Whatever that means.
Who have you been talking to?
Do you know where you're standing right now?
Get the fuck out of my face or I'll put you in lock-up.
Somebody painted a little message on my house last night.
You give 'em my address?
I've got no idea what you're talking about.
Look, you want me out of town, you grow a pair
and do something about it.
Don't send a bunch of kids to do your dirty work, OK?
What'd they write?
What's the matter, you can't tell me? You want me to guess?
Was it 'rapist'? You know, it might have been, what, 'pedo'?
'Rock spider'? 'Kiddy-fiddler'? What was it?
Un-fucking-believable.
You know if that were true, I wouldn't be here.
I know you had something to do with it.
No. If I did, you'd know.
Are we done here?
'Cause, uh...
..I've got a family to get home to.
How about you?
My turn to ask a question.
Why did you and your mate break into my shed?
I wanted to see what was inside.
Why that shed?
I'm investigating the death of Park Jong Min.
The address of THAT shed was hidden in HIS study.
Why were you at the Dellagua launch?
Hm.
You don't trust me.
I don't trust you.
But now I need two things from you.
I wanna know what Lars was into
and I wanna know what Park was up to.
Now, you have no reason to share that information with me, so...
..I'll pay you in kind.
In venom?
Just a micro-dose.
I haven't been sick in 20 years.
My version of an apple a day.
I'll stick to coffee and head colds, thanks, mate.
Suit yourself.
Hey, Kell!
Hey. Is now a good time?
Yeah, of course.
I'm sorry about the whole name-change thing.
You were right, I should have talked to you first.
Uh... Yeah.
No, I mean...
..let's just forget about it.
Are you in the middle of something?
Uh... No, it's all good. I'm happy to talk.
Ted... ..I can tell when you're distracted.
I can hear it in your voice. Actually, I picked, um...
You're not gonna believe this - I'm working.
Working? Uh... It's a temporary...
..thing.
I'm just, uh...
..lending a hand to a private investigation.
Cash-in-hand type deal.
Really?
Yeah. What?
No, I just thought you hated that kind of thing.
Ambulance chasing, going through people's rubbish.
No. It's not like that.
I'm... I'm helping out a family that's in trouble.
Feel like I could be useful to them.
Alright, well, when will you be done for the day with this other family?
That's not what I meant.
I mean, Kelly, you know that's not what I meant.
Can I call you later? I'm sorry, I just, uh... Maybe tonight?
Alright.
That'd be good. Can you call after Lilly's in bed?
You've been away a long time, Ted.
Alright.
I love you. Bye.
After you.
I saw Dad with Olivia one night.
Where?
Here? He brought her here?
No.
In a car.
Dad's car one night.
And roughly about what time was that?
I don't know... 1:00, maybe 2:00 a.m.
Charlie and I followed them to a hotel.
I took pictures.
Can we see them?
Eomma.
She is involved. I know it.
These photos don't really prove that they were lovers.
What, should we have followed them into the hotel?
You shouldn't have been out on the streets at all.
Again I'm the one in trouble.
Are you finished with me?
I have to remind myself this has been very hard for her.
Mm.
She's been angry with me for a long time.
She didn't want to come here.
You said Jong Min was spending a lot more time at work,
which meant a lot more time with Olivia.
You didn't have any inkling that maybe they were...
..that they were involved?
I should have.
My husband and I were trying to fix our marriage.
To start over after...
..a similar incident in Seoul.
An affair?
You say Olivia came over
to pick up some hardware in Jong Min's office?
Mind if we take a look?
I'm surprised the police didn't want the hard drives.
They didn't find them.
But Olivia did?
Yes.
They were company property.
She found them in here.
Hm.
Excuse me.
Ah Rah!
Go on.
What?
You don't think I can?
Can you?
Course I can.
Alright.
Shit.
Another address.
This is getting interesting.
How're you going, mate?
Huh.
This is Amanda Pharrell, PI. You know what to do.
While you were busy breaking and entering...
..I bought us dinner.
Yours is the one featuring the dead animal.
You find what you were looking for?
Or were you just planning on giving yourself a tattoo?
Not real good with needles.
Don't touch my shit, Conkaffey.
Go on.
Before it gets cold and even more disgusting.
So, logic says...
..whoever put that first address in the puzzle box
also put the second one.
But it can't be Park, 'cause he's dead.
So that leaves the wife, the daughter and the lover,
who all had access to the study.
Let's just...
..back it up for a second.
The first address was to a shed full of empty fridges.
Doesn't exactly tell us much.
Yeah, which they cleared out because of us.
Maybe.
I know who owns it.
Really? Since when?
He was at the Dellagua launch.
Goes by the name of Twist.
What do you know about him?
He's fond of snakes.
Saving the world, one vial of venom at a time.
Well, if you're right and Dellagua has ties to that shed,
that keeps Olivia in the frame.
My money's on Yoon Sun.
And when I say MY money, I mean YOUR money.
Nah, I'm thinking the last thing you are is a safe bet.
Maybe that's why Yoon Sun hired you.
She took one look at those tattoos and she said,
"This girl's never gonna figure me out."
Yeah.
And then she took one sniff of your whisky cologne
and thought, "Neither is he."
Let's test that theory in the morning.
Twist owns Lars's plane.
Told you they were connected.
Hm.
Hi. You've reached Kelly.
It's your turn, baby.
Leave Mum a message, please!
Hey, Kell! It's me.
I'm sorry I didn't call you back sooner. I...
I wanted to explain about the job, but...
..maybe that's not important.
What's important is...
..I think what I'm doing up here...
..I don't know, maybe it's helping me see the light or something.
You, uh... say I've been away a long time.
But, uh...
..I want you to know I'm moving forward.
OK.
If you...
..just...
Just hang on.
And I'll try you tomorrow.
I love you. Bye.
Another chest, another shed.
Well, at least they're consistent.
No cameras, though.
Twist had them everywhere at his place.
Huh.
Yeah, hurry. Yeah, righto.
Thank you.
Same bike.
The one that chased us in the cane field.
Mm. So probably the same guy.
Ah, this could go on all day.
You call it.
Heads - wife and daughter.
Tails for the mistress.
Good morning, Roy.
Bringing reinforcements to what you said would be a quiet chat.
I believe that's called an ambush.
Jeremy. Nathan.
It's good to see you both outside of a board meeting for a change.
Mm-hm.
If either of you has any questions, now's the time.
Well, I think we all have the same question, Olivia.
What the hell was going on between you and Park?
The rumours about Jong Min and I
having anything other than a professional relationship
are false.
They're also particularly grotesque
when he's no longer here to defend himself.
So you weren't fucking?
You didn't break his bloody heart, send him on a midnight swim
and jeopardise this company?
What you heard was a grieving child lashing out.
But if you want to publicly dissect my personal life, go right ahead.
Anyone else care to weigh in?
We have lost Jong Min,
but everything he knew I know.
I will guide us to launch on schedule,
but the backstabbing stops here.
The police returned Park's laptop.
Did they find anything?
Whisky in the hard drive.
They can't be sure whether it was a drunken accident
or something more deliberate.
Either way, it's fried.
Did you get IT to look at it?
Yep. They said he was downloading files.
You know anything about that?
Nothing. What files?
Company IP.
Oh, I doubt that.
Look, Olivia, I want to know what he was stealing
and who he was selling it to.
If Park was breaking protocol, he did it without my knowledge.
If you want me to look into this, then ask me.
But if you ever speak to me like that again, I'll walk.
I think we both know what that means for the company.
And for you.
Hey.
Ms. De Grandi?
Have you been following me? Ah!
At what point does investigating become stalking?
I just thought maybe we'd meet some place quiet
and give you a chance to tell your side of the story.
I have nothing to say to you.
So, you and Park - it wasn't strictly a professional thing?
What you overheard at Jong Min's service is not true.
Well, his daughter seemed to think it was.
Well, then you'll have to ask HER about it.
I did.
Uh...
Now, if you've got another explanation, by all means...
Where did you get that? Ah Rah.
She... saw you in the car,
followed you to the hotel.
We were working.
At two o'clock in the morning? Yeah, we were on a deadline.
So that accounts for the other four times you were there
in the month leading up to his disappearance?
I checked with the hotel.
Fine.
We were fucking.
Well, how long was that going on?
Why does it matter?
Well, who started it?
Oh, this is perverse.
What do you want?
Number of times? Positions?
Should I draw you a diagram?
Was Park gonna leave his family for you?
No, never.
I have been trying to protect the man's name, alright?
Mm-hm.
Can we leave it at that?
That's what you want, yeah.
Yeah, it is.
Afternoon, love! Hey.
How're you doin? Good.
Yeah, well...
..how much for one of these things?
$59.99. Or we have that sort.
All second-hand, but in good nick.
Hmm...
Um...
And how are you with... How are you with hard drives?
Hmm... Tim?
Busy!
Tim!
Come here.
What? Customer.
Hey, mate.
Tell him what you need.
I'm having trouble with a hard drive.
You know... ..this encryption, it's a pain in the ass.
I, uh... Company I work for set it up for me.
But I put a bunch of personal...
..stuff on there and, uh...
..I'm having a son-of-a-bitch of a time trying to get it off, you know?
I can't take it back to them because technically it's company property.
What do you think? Another one? Yeah, too easy.
It'll cost you, though.
All good? Mm.
Mm, here.
Thank you.
See ya.
Oi!
I wanna talk to you.
What you said, that was braver than you think.
Saying those things in front of your mum, knowing they'd hurt her.
Maybe I was trying to.
Well, then I take it back. No more compliments for you.
Why are you talking to me?
I gave you the pictures. I told you what I saw.
I wasn't planning on talking to you.
My office is around here. You're on MY turf.
Sounds like things were pretty strained between your parents
since way before they got here.
She told you?
Yeah.
And what did she expect was going to happen?
That he'd just forget about it?
He's a man.
What do you mean?
You said she told you. Yeah.
About the affair in Seoul.
That this wasn't the first time he cheated on her...
It was HER.
SHE did it. SHE slept with another man.
They thought I didn't know, but I heard them fight...
..every night until we left.
And then it was just... quiet all the time.
That's what we do in this family.
We hurt each other and then we never talk about it.
You're talking about it now.
Yeah.
But there's nothing more to say about it.
Hey, can you stop, please? You stop it!
Stop it! Just get out of it!
Meow.
Hey, you got any more of these?
Wild birdseed?
Um... No, we don't,
but we can get it ordered and delivered to your house
if you want. Yeah, that'd be great.
Shoot, man. How many?
Make it another four. Five.
Damn. Make it five.
Jeez. Must have a lot of birds.
You have no idea.
Uh... I just need your addy for that, and then you're sweet.
I don't have a street address, but it's the last house on Cypress Road.
Did you say Cypress?
Yeah.
Right. Right. Um...
So how much did you say they were?
Um...
$96 for those ones.
I can take these out to your car. No, no, I got that.
It's all good. I've got time. I got it. Please...
G, just hang on a sec... Just... Here's $100.
Um... Keep the change.
Is it this one?
Yeah, just throw them in the back. OK.
I got it.
Thanks.
There you go. Mm.
OK, all done. Have a good day!
Thanks!
Right.
Ooh!
Jesus. Hi, mate!
You're not answering a knock these days?
I didn't hear a thing.
You owe me a meal.
Anything new on Yoon Sun?
Yeah, only that she lied.
According to Ah Rah,
the adulterer back in Seoul was the mother, not the father.
Wow. So a lie by omission.
Is still a lie.
Must be contagious,
because Olivia just confessed to an affair she never had.
Psh! They were totally boning.
She denied it until I pushed her on the hotel.
For some reason, something about that spooked her,
made her change her story.
Why the hell would she burn both their reputations?
Same reason she told Yoon Sun
she was taking Park's drives to the office.
But really she took them here.
I mean, this looks totally shonky. It is shonky.
The only reason you'd take those drives to a place like that
is 'cause you didn't want the people you're working for
to see what was on them.
Maybe they were filming some kinky shit.
I doubt it.
Before Dellagua poached her,
she used to work for this company called Greentide,
which was their biggest competitor.
So she's selling company secrets.
Maybe.
Maybe Park was in on it.
Maybe he found out about it.
Either way, there's something on those drives she's been hiding.
Alright, and what about our growing collection of sheds? And Yoon Sun?
Yeah, my money's on Olivia.
Alright, so...
..when YOU have a hunch it's called 'experience',
but when I have one it's called 'being naive'?
You got it.
Can I have one of these?
No.
Don't need it, mate.
Really? Yeah.
You alright, love? Oh, you got the cake!
Yeah. And, um... we need some...
Hey, sweetheart.
Thank you.
Oh, no.
What?!
Oh, I'm sorry, sweetheart... Is it melted?!
It's...
..perfect.
You're so mean.
It looks really cool, Dad. I love it.
Yeah.
You know what's not cool?
Vandalising someone's house.
George...
..what are you smiling about?
Hey, look at me.
I told you about that guy to protect you, alright?
Not so you can go and pay him a bloody visit with your mates.
Yeah, OK. It's serious.
George, it's serious.
OK? Mm-hm.
That scumbag's not worth you getting a record over, OK?
You're smarter than that, right?
OK. We good, birthday girl? We're good.
Yeah? Alright.
Honey, Joanne's here. - Hi, sweetheart!
Hi! Hi! Oh, my God! You're so beautiful!
Happy birthday.
Thank you!
Now, um... I have something I wanted to give you.
Oh! You didn't have to do that!
Thank you!
Oh!
That is, like, seriously vintage.
Let me help you with it.
It was Lauren's.
It is fine. I'm fine. I'm not going to fall apart. I'm just, um...
I wanted to, um...
..let some of her things go and...
..she'd love you to have it.
That's... That's so kind of you. It's really thoughtful.
Try it on.
Here.
Oh.
Thank you.
It's gorgeous.
Cute party.
OK. You take them.
Yep, yep. You clean and I'll take these.
Alright.
Thought you'd be out on the dance floor.
I'm under strict instructions no daggy-dad dancing.
You've done alright, Lou. She's a great kid.
That's all Anita. I just get to play bad cop every now and again.
Bullshit.
What the hell is this? Lemonade.
You came into their lives for a reason.
Alright, don't get bloody sentimental with me, alright?
I've got a speech to get through, alright? Piss off.
You right?
Yes. Um...
Listen up!
Right.
Uh... Special request from the birthday girl.
Speech from the, uh... from the doting parents.
Not a long one. I promise. Of course, no.
So, what do you say about Georgie, eh?
Sorry, I know it's my birthday, but, um...
..I actually want to celebrate somebody else today.
I want to thank the man who's been there for me
for almost my entire life, since I was seven,
which is close enough.
So, I've got this.
What...
Wh... OK, alright.
So, these are my version of adoption papers.
Hey! Whoo-hoo!
You've always been my dad, but I just wanted to ask you formally...
..before I turn 18.
Alright, you've gone and made me cry in front of all your mates!
That's right. Easy.
Let's raise a glass to our beautiful daughter...
..Georgie.
To Georgie! Happy birthday!
Happy birthday.
Thanks, Carrie.
How was the cake, Jay?
Yeah, cake was good. Yeah?
Yeah.
Hey.
What are you going to do about the pedo at the old Salt place?
Well, I'm not gonna spray-paint his front door.
You know what? He's lucky I stopped at the spray-paint.
Alright, don't... Don't tell me that, mate. I'm a cop, remember?
I don't want to drag you and Georgie and the gang down to the station.
I want you to leave him alone.
You seriously sticking up for him? I'm sticking up for you.
I want him gone as much as you, mate...
..but until I've got a reason...
We didn't have this conversation, alright?
This better be good.
Hench!
Yeah.
I appreciate the gesture.
But I can't accept them until I know who the hell you are.
Right.
Fair enough.
So start talkin'.
What, now?
I was accused of a sexual assault.
I absolutely didn't do it.
You're gonna have to do a little better than that.
The victim's name was Claire.
And I was the last person to see her
on the day she was taken by... another man, who...
..did some pretty terrible things to her.
Left her for dead.
How old was she?
13.
I was a detective at the time.
I couldn't work on the case.
Conflict of interest.
I was across it.
Every step of the way I was across that damn thing.
And I rode him. Hard.
I guess I pissed some people off,
'cause next thing I know I was a suspect.
Claire...
..she couldn't remember much.
Too traumatised.
So they couldn't rule me out.
I was arrested.
Charged. No bail.
Sent straight to lock-up.
After eight months they let me go.
Lack of evidence.
Not exactly an exoneration.
No.
It's not.
So that's why you're here.
Most people come here to hide from something.
Including you?
Wasn't going to put up with anyone else's shit anymore.
I can recommend it.
You got a family.
Yeah.
Kids make all the difference.
I'm gonna keep the mangoes.
It'll kill you, that stuff, if you drink too much.
Drowns your brain.
It's got less chemicals than your choice of libation.
You and your fancy words.
It's a drink, that's all. A drink.
I met a guy the other day who shoots up snake venom for kicks.
No shit. That's twisted.
It's nominative determinism.
It's a theory that your name
influences what you do with your life.
Snake guy does twisted shit,
and his name is Twist.
THAT'S who you're talking about?
I hear a lot of shit in here.
Word is that guy Twist has his finger in a lot of pies.
And everyone agrees he's not someone you want to get tangled up with.
The guy's dangerous.
Yeah, but so am I.
It's gotta be the rest of Park.
I'd say so.
Uh... Boss?
No!
No, just walk away.
You found something on your own.
Good for you! Milbee, get her out of here!
I've got it.
I'm going.
Five minutes.
That's all I need.
I can't tell you anything. I know.
Off the record.
Things have changed.
You've found something that indicates homicide.
It wasn't a croc.
Park was dead before he hit the water.
It's murder.
Mm. What else did she say?
Uh...
Nothing.
What, because she didn't want you telling me?
Because she's a professional, OK?
It's not always all about you.
I can't believe someone actually killed him.
Hang on, I gotta take this. Seriously?
Hey! I'm here.
Ted!
Come on! Hang on.
Uh... Oi!
Hello? This is a massive breakthrough.
Kelly? What are you doing?
Alright, there's no easy way to do this,
so I'm just gonna say it.
Um...
I'm selling the house.
But there's money in the account. I mean, I haven't touched a dime.
Look, that's not the problem.
People think you still live here, Ted.
Has something happened?
It hasn't stopped happening.
Every time I walk outside, people stare.
Lilly feels it too.
She's... having nightmares.
Ah. Jesus.
Why didn't you tell me?
Because there's nothing that you can do about it.
Kelly, that's our home.
Well, we've gotta move.
So, I've been looking for work elsewhere,
and I think I've found something.
You don't have to do that. It's in Perth.
That's on the other side of the country.
You're saying that...
..that it's good for you, what you're doing up there?
Well, you should stay. You should see that through.
No, no, that wasn't the agreement.
I'm breaking the agreement.
OK. Then I'll come with you. OK?
We'll start over together. No, I don't want you to do that, OK?
I don't want you to come. Kelly, come on.
Look...
I love you, but I've gotta do this.
For Lilly and for myself.
We're not doing this.
We're going to have this conversation face-to-face.
Ted, I've made up my mind.
Kelly, I'm getting on a flight...
..and I am...
..gonna see you tonight.
Please don't do that.
Hello?
Jesus Christ. What's up?
OK.
Jesus.
Yeah? What the hell, Ted?
We've got a murder case on our hands and you just leave?
I can't talk right now.
Why do you sound weird?
Um...
I'm going to Sydney.
I'm leaving tonight.
Wh... Sydney? Wh... For how long?
I don't know.
Just feed the geese for me, will ya?
I've gotta go. What? Wait a second.
Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
Jesus! Hey! Wait!
Argh!
The hospital just reported a serious assault.
It's Conkaffey.
I'm working with him. What reason would I have?
You've never needed a reason, Amanda.
The Park case is now a murder investigation.
He and Pharrell have been sniffing around that case all over town.
Maybe they found something.
What was the money for?
Payment after the fact for Jong Min or payment in advance for Ted?
Find his attacker, find Park's murderer.
Park's killer might be the one who just bashed your partner.
You might be next.
