Till Death Do Us Part Part two
1
[clock ticking]
[DMac] I feel
like you're ignoring me.
- [Jerry] I'm not ignoring you!
- [DMac] Watch your tone, Jerry.
Don't forget
who you're talking to.
When I call, you answer, okay?
I've got a lot riding on this.
Why is there a delay?
[Jerry] No, no, no,
everything's on track, DMac.
Okay? It's nearly ready.
[DMac] Good, 'cause
I fucking vouched for you.
It's 50K, Jerry.
Call it a deposit.
You get the rest on delivery.
No fuck-ups, right?
My bosses
are very powerful people.
They always get what they want.
And if they don't get
what they want, they take it.
Plus interest.
And you are the interest in this
scenario, Jerry. Capiche?
Don't make me come back here
and put a bullet
through your fucking skull.
[tense fast-paced music]
[yells] Fuck!
Fuck, fuck, fuck!
[music slows]
[distorted slow music]
[recording ding]
Hey, Mia. Um,
if you're watching this,
then, uh,
things haven't
gone as I planned.
[distorted music continues]
[music builds then stops]
[generic lobby music]
Hey. We're good?
[exhales]
[elevator chimes]
[electronic beeping]
[muffled voices]
Ah, there you are.
You took your time.
[Jerry]
Look, I've made a mistake, okay?
DMac came by the office.
No, he doesn't know
anything about you and me.
But if I don't deliver
what I promised him,
I am a fucking dead man.
You want more money?
Is that what this is?
No, I just don't want to be
in the fucking middle anymore.
Okay? I fucked up.
I should never have
promised it to you
when I'd made a deal with him.
You don't have to worry.
I will not tell DMac.
Okay, I will disappear.
You will never see
me ever again.
Just tell me where it is
and we won't have
a problem, yeah?
You know what?
I'll go to the cops.
I mean, if I have to.
If someone tries to hurt me.
It'd be
a very silly move, Jerry.
Where's the passport?
[slow tense music]
I didn't make it.
And I don't want to make it.
But he threatened me,
and I can't
give it to both of you.
Okay.
- Really?
- Yeah, okay.
You're a good man, Jerry.
I'm sure
you'll do the right thing.
So tense.
Let's have a drink, Jerry.
- [Jerry sighs in relief]
- Yeah?
Can I be honest with you?
You see, I don't give
a fuck about the passport.
- [soft scoff]
- Um
I just want my husband to lose.
And I will do anything
to make sure that happens.
[grunts]
But what about me, then?
You?
You're just collateral damage,
Jerry.
[Jerry groans in confusion]
[Saskia distorted]
You see, it's all about trust.
You don't look so good, Jerry.
You need some fresh air?
Huh?
Collateral damage, Jerry.
You don't look so good.
- Some fresh air?
- [Jerry grunts] Yeah.
Come on, come on.
- Hey! Oh!
- [Jerry grunts]
[Saskia] There we go.
Let's, uh,
let's open that window.
Yeah?
[Saskia] There you go, Jerry.
Inhale. There you go.
[music builds and stops]
[photocopier whirring]
[DMac]
Anyone got eyes on Tavita?
[Spider] He's gone off the grid.
Can't track a burner.
[DMac] Spider, how the fuck
are we going to find him?
If we lose those drugs,
the cartel will kill us.
Baby, baby, come on.
You're too tense.
Oh, yeah.
It'll go straight to my neck.
You need to relax.
- Yeah?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- That's it. That's it.
- [Mia's ringtone plays]
[DMac groans]
[Mia] Max!
[Max] Mom, where are you?
Dylan is freaking out.
His dad didn't come back
from the open home.
Listen to me, sweetheart.
I need you to go to the school.
Be around people.
Is Dylan with you?
Yeah. Why?
I know where he is.
How do you know that?
Tavita's got Ricky, and Ricky's
phone says he's right here.
His son just tracked him.
He's trying to fly out.
Clear out.
Why are we standing around
with our dicks in our hands?
Fucking move!
[exhales]
[Crumpit whimpers]
Baby, what if something
happens to you?
This isn't your game, love.
Stay here, all right?
I promise I'll be careful.
Hey, boys. Come on, let's move!
[fast-paced dramatic music]
Where is it? Huh?
I need my plane now!
It's circling the airfield.
Oh, so you want to be killed
by the fucking Cartel?
The landing gear
isn't extending.
Then use one of those ones!
Nah, Boss. The gear won't fit.
We're wasting time, all right?
We need to move that shit
before they find out it's gone.
You, go on lookout.
- Where is he supposed to go?
- [yells] Outside, all right?
Climb a fucking tree
or something.
Bunch of fucking muppets!
Tell him, stay hidden.
If there's any sign
of DMac or the Cartel,
I want to know about it.
You get that plane
on the ground.
Oh, sorry. Um,
I'm looking for an Oscar Clarke.
- Yeah.
- Great.
[Woody] Thanks, Karla.
[Gina] Right.
I'm your court-appointed lawyer.
I'm Gina Davis.
Your name's Gina Davis?
Yes, with an I. G-I-N-A.
Listen, Detective Morrison,
my client didn't consent
to having his blood drawn.
- Yes he did.
- Yes I did.
Right.
Okey doke.
Okay, I'll just be over here.
Just, uh,
just catch up on these.
[Woody]
When those bloods come back,
I'm expecting
a match with the sample
we collected from the hotel
the day Jeremy Bennett died.
I plead the Fifth.
That's not a thing
in New Zealand.
Listen,
I know you work for the Cartel.
I know
you kill people for money.
And I get that you don't
want to talk to me.
But if you give me something,
a name, anything,
I can try and help you.
I can stop them
from coming here.
I didn't kill Jerry Bennett, okay?
What about Felipe Gonzales?
No, no, I didn't kill anyone.
All right? I'm not a murderer.
[Woody exhales]
Do you know this man?
[Oscar] Um
You don't have
to protect Darren MacNeill.
He's a hardened criminal.
This is serious, Oscar.
I have CCTV and a witness
who places you
at Jose Roberts' house
the night
his passport was stolen.
You need to start talking.
People are dead.
[knocking]
[sighs] Excuse me.
[electronic lock beeps]
What's going on?
Two bodies found in an open home
riddled with bullet wounds.
Looks like it was
a cocaine pack house.
- Shit.
- There was a shipment last night
that was marked
for inspection that went AWOL.
And now remnants
of cocaine have been found
in the open home ovens.
It's being evaporated down.
- Cartel cocaine?
- Yeah, it's gotta be.
It's gotta be
King Street's operation.
Trying to track down
the real estate agent,
but he's not picking up.
- Who you got in the room?
- It's the jacket, Oscar Clarke.
Is he talking?
Not yet,
but he's covering for someone.
We got a warrant to search
MacNeill's driving range.
Find out what your guy
knows about the ports.
Copy that.
[DMac] I know, I'm sorry,
but distribution's
been compromised.
No, no, no, no, no.
I have the product with me,
so I will deliver it to you
personally in two hours.
Great. And then we'll
call it all square, eh?
Muriwai car park.
Yeah, I got that.
Okay.
[exhales nervously]
This had better fucking work.
I didn't know
that Saskia knew Jerry.
Nah, she didn't.
She's not in the game.
Yes she is.
She was at the hotel
the day Jerry died.
Oscar was there
and his secretary
saw them together.
[slow dramatic music]
[DMac] Hold on.
You're telling me
Saskia knew Jerry?
How the fuck did she--
- [shot clangs]
- [lookout grunts]
- Oh my God.
- [lookout screams]
Oh my God.
Okay, I'm gonna deal
with Tavita first.
Then I'm gonna deal with her.
You can't just go in there
and shoot everyone.
Yes, I fucking can!
Let me get Ricky.
Okay, just give me
five minutes, all right?
And then you can just
do whatever you want.
Fine! Go, go.
[exhales]
Oscar, I was wondering
if you could tell me
where you were last night.
Yeah, I was at home.
Can anyone corroborate that?
Yep, my cousin.
A large shipment of cocaine
went missing last night.
Your bosses would have sent it.
Would your name come up
if we asked
around the staff at the port?
My name? No, not my name.
Who are you protecting?
Is it DMac?
I don't know anyone
in the Cartel. I don't.
Come on, Oscar,
give me a name
so I can help you.
Otherwise, you're on your own.
[slow music]
Okay.
So,
there is this woman.
[Gina clears throat]
I'm sorry, I just,
can I just have
a minute with my lawyer?
Of course. Take your time.
[lock beeps]
- Oh, my God, I'm so dead.
- Mmm
I'm going to prison. Yep.
[Gina]
You need to get out of here.
Sure. Good idea.
No, no, no,
you're not getting it.
You have some
very powerful friends
that told me
to get you out of here.
[Oscar] You're Cartel?
No. They just threatened
to stitch my face
to a soccer ball
if I didn't get you out,
but they didn't tell me how.
So let me just think about it
for a second, okay?
Let me just think.
If I just happened
to put the swipe card
to the building
into this pocket,
and if you were to say,
borrow my hat and my jacket,
you could, I don't know,
leave out the door
without a guard on.
And I mean, hypothetically,
you could just walk
right on out the front door.
And you know,
if you gave them a name
pointing away from the Cartel,
we might all just
make it out alive.
So I'm just gonna be
on my phone over here.
[tense upbeat music]
[lock beeps]
- Hi.
- Hey!
- How you doing?
- Hey man.
[exhales]
[tense upbeat music]
[Mia] Hello?
Hello?
Ah, Tavita.
Just the man I was looking for.
Where's DMac?
He's being dealt with.
Tried to steal from us,
but I heard you stopped him.
The bosses are grateful.
Very grateful.
So why are you here then?
I'm here for Ricky Ioane.
He's an important member
of the family.
So the real estate guy
is Cartel?
Yes.
The Cartel owned the houses.
So I need you to hand him over.
I can't do that. Sorry, miss.
And why is that?
Because I know
you're not Cartel.
Mia.
See, you're playing
dress up for DMac
because you think
you can fuck me over, eh?
I don't appreciate
being lied to.
I don't need
to make that phone call.
My boys are here.
Please. Please don't.
[Tavita] Where the fuck is DMac?
- [man grunts]
- [Mia screams]
[slow tense music]
[man screams]
[DMac] Woo-hoo!
Oh, that feels so fucking good!
Oh!
Trust you to bring a pipe
to a fucking gunfight,
you fat fucking caveman!
[DMac giggles]
Where's her mate, Ricky?
[resigned sigh]
Out back, in the van.
[DMac] Go on, go get him.
Bring him in here. Go!
Oh, you want to steal from me?
Well now,
[panting] we got us a date.
[tense music]
[softly panting] Oh my God.
Ow! [groans] Ow!
What are you doing here, okay?
- You need to leave, okay?
- I know.
These guys are
fucking criminals.
[Mia] I know!
So you really think
you can rip me off
and get away with it, huh, rat?
When I brought you in on this?
You played me
this whole time, eh?
You lied about the Cartel.
No, no, no, no, I resent that.
I did not lie. I improvised.
The Cartel is very fucking real.
And you ripped them off,
so now you're gonna die.
Hey, Spider,
I want you to start this off.
I'd just like to watch.
Come on, mate, get going.
Sorry DMac. Can't do that.
[chuckles]
The fuck is going on here?
[laughs]
Did I say something funny,
you fat fuck?
[chuckles]
She got exactly what she wanted.
That was her plan all along.
You kill me, they kill you.
[DMac] My guys kill me?
Oh, that's good. [laughs]
We both got played, dumbass.
Your wife Saskia,
well she came to me first
to get that passport.
But then she killed
your photocopy guy
- You are so full of shit,
- and then killed the Cartel.
- Tavita!
- I don't fuck with crazy, DMac.
You do.
- Shut up!
- She wants you dead, bitch.
- Fuckin-- [groans]
- [gunshot]
[DMac groans]
Ow! Ugh!
So much more effective
than a mediator.
[DMac coughs]
[groans]
Where's my gear?
- Van out back
- [DMac groans]
Good boy. [exhales]
Now run,
before I change my mind.
Spider, go fetch.
That is so fucking poetic.
[groans] Shot in the back
by my own wife.
Just repaying the favor, baby.
I was with you
when you had nothing.
I built you up.
I took care of you.
And as soon as you get
a little bit of cred,
you just discard me
like a piece of shit.
Oh, honey,
you got to let that go.
You could have
gone out and got a job.
You love shoving that shit
up your nose.
- Fuck off!
- [grunting and groaning]
This, the Cartel, was my idea.
And you took credit for it,
and you cut me out.
[softly] Well
it's my turn now.
Yeah.
I'm going to turn King Street
into a fucking empire.
Oh, Jesus, do you think these
rats are going to follow you?
I know you love
the idea of being boss,
but you are so fucked, baby.
You killed Jerry.
- You killed Felipe.
- Shut up, shut the fuck up.
You think the Cartel
are going to like that?
And who's going to tell them?
[panting]
You can't snitch
if you're dead, baby.
Saskia! The van's gone.
The one with the gear.
It's gone.
- What?
- It's not there anymore.
[DMac laughs]
Fuck are you talking about?
[tense music]
I'll take you home.
These guys aren't
in the rug business, are they?
No.
No, they're not.
[Saskia] The fuck?
[disgusted sigh]
Okay, okay, okay.
We can't keep him here.
The cops will come crawling, yeah?
So take him to my apartment.
Make him give you
his Cartel contact
so we can do the drop.
Well,
how am I supposed to do that?
I don't know, torture the fuck?
Use some initiative,
Spider, yeah?
Because I'm off
to do your job for you
and find these fucking drugs.
[Saskia] [disgusted sigh]
[exhales]
I'm really sorry about all this.
There were just some things
I couldn't talk to you about.
But I had
a really nice time with you.
One more thing.
You can't talk about this.
To anyone.
Sorry, I just don't want
these people to find you.
Yeah, I got it.
You know, if you need to talk
It's best if we don't
do that anymore.
[soft dramatic music]
[sighs] Fuck.
- Thanks, Jess.
- [lock beeps]
Where is he?
Um, he just went to the toilet,
but he's keen
to give you some names.
How long has he been gone?
About 20 minutes?
Wait. He couldn't have!
- Oh no
- Fuck!
[tense music]
No!
[DMac groans]
[Spider sighs]
Fuck, take a drink, man.
You trying
to keep me alive now, Judas?
Just tell me how I find her, man.
Where's the fucking phone?
No, no, no, no, I'll tell!
- Where is the--
- I'll tell you.
I'll tell you, I'll tell you.
I'll tell you, all right?
You're looking
in the wrong place.
It's up my ass.
[sniffles]
[DMac moans and grunts]
I'm never gonna tell you,
all right?
I'm not stupid.
[groans] You're dead, Spider.
You're all dead.
Don't you get that?
Saskia is gonna lead
you all straight to hell.
She's worse than I am, mate.
I was married to her for years.
Made me want
to crush my left nut.
[Spider] Worse than you?
And you're a fucking shit boss,
you know that?
You never,
you never fucking listen.
You always
took me for granted, man.
Oh, I'm sorry!
Maybe you should have
taken that up with HR.
I was trying to build you up.
Just a thank you every now
and then would have been nice.
I said thank you, didn't I?
[tense dark music]
[music continues]
[sighs]
[music continues]
[Jeremy] Hey Mia,
if you're watching this,
then things haven't
gone as I planned.
I have made so many
fucking mistakes, Mia.
I'm so sorry,
but everything I tried to do
to fix things
just made it worse.
And now, here we are.
I hid things from you
because I didn't want you
to see me for who I really was.
You were always too good for me.
Mia, I know that you
were always stronger.
And you gave up so much for us.
And
I failed you.
Now Mia, you need
to listen, okay?
If I don't come back,
there is a woman.
Her name is Saskia Harlowe.
Now she's married
to a man who goes by DMac.
You need to stay away
from both of them.
You need to get out, Mia.
You need to take the kids
and you need to leave.
There is money
in this storage locker.
Just run.
I love you Mia.
So much.
[sniffles]
[knocking]
[Saskia] Oh, there you are.
You took your time.
[voices being sped up]
Okay, I will disappear.
You will never
see me ever again.
I've got you.
[voices being sped up]
There you go.
Just take a deep breath.
[Jeremy groans]
[gasps]
There you go. Deep breath.
- Lean forward.
- [Mia whimpers]
[screams on video]
Oh my God.
Oh my God,
what were you thinking?
[Oscar] What was who thinking?
- Shit!
- Oh, geez. I'm sorry.
Fucking Christ, Oscar,
you gotta stop doing that!
I'm sorry, I do.
What are you watching?
- Jerry sent a video.
- Hmm?
Saskia killed him.
She pushed him.
- What?
- We have proof.
Where have you been?
Hmm? Oh, I had to break out
of the police station.
What? Why were you
at the police station?
I was arrested for murder.
Oh, my God, I'm so sorry.
I had to run,
it was either that or tell them
- everything, you know?
- Thank you.
[whispers] Yeah.
What's with all the bags?
The deal went bad.
We're leaving the country.
I'm going to get
the kids and go.
- You're coming too, obviously.
- I can't.
Yeah, of course you can.
We could go to Australia.
We could go to the islands.
No, Mia, I can't.
I don't have a passport.
Yeah, I'm aware of the irony.
We'll just make you one.
We'll just hide out
for a couple of days.
We don't have a couple of days.
Oh, fuck,
I know, I know, I know.
Okay, I'll just, I'll send
the video to the cops.
The Cartel's going
to come after us
even if the cops
believe our story.
They knew I was
in the police station.
They're everywhere.
You're right.
The only way is to run.
I'm not going
anywhere without you.
Wait.
There is still a deal
on the table with the cartel.
But we're going
to need George for that.
Holy moly!
People will come
looking for this van, so.
Yeah, we get it to Chewy's.
And then, um, what?
Once he's done his thing
so they don't recognize it,
then we do the drop-off.
What if the Cartel
don't believe how we got it?
These are their drugs.
That's what they're expecting.
And they won't stop
until they get them Oscar.
Look, I have
to get the kids, okay?
You meet me at George's after,
and if I'm not there in an hour,
you just leave it
at the car park in Muriwai.
That's where DMac
was meeting them.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
- We can do this, okay?
- Okay.
See you at George's. Now go.
[keys clacking]
- Damn it.
- [computer chimes]
Come on, come on, come on.
[loud knocking]
- [knocking]
- [Tracey] Mia!
It's Tracey.
I know you're in there.
Okay, fine. I'm using my key.
- Fuck!
- That's why you gave it to me.
Trace!
Now's not a good time, Trace.
Oh, hi.
Yeah, well, apparently, it's
never a good time for you is it?
Because I keep calling you
and you don't answer me back.
- I need you to leave now.
- Well, then I called your mom.
Yeah, I called Sally,
and she said that you went
to Bridget's for dinner.
Bridget! I mean,
what the fuck's going on?
- It was an impulse decision.
- We hate Bridget!
- It was actually fun.
- Don't say fun.
Wow. Oh, that's cool.
Yeah, well, you want
to get fucked up
with those fake Auckland
scene wankers?
Waste all your money?
Cool, go for it.
Don't hang out
with your best friend.
Look, I know that you
have been going
through a really hard time.
Can you tell me the truth?
Like, is it
because of the tarot?
What?
Because I haven't
even done a course.
I've just got
that book, booklet,
and I'm just trying
to figure it out.
Trace,
could we please talk about this
- at another time, please?
- No, we can't.
Because I feel like
I don't even know you anymore.
And since when did you have
a fucking red car?
Listen to me.
Jerry left me
in a world of shit.
I just need to get my kids
before some really bad--
[ominous music]
You see, this is why
I don't have female friends.
- [Tracey grunts]
- [Mia whimpers]
Okay. Are you sure
you can do this, cuz?
- Yeah, man. Give me ten minutes.
- Okay. Where's Monica?
Monica? Hello?
[soft dramatic music]
[clock ticking]
Sorry to Bother You.
Gone Baby Gone.
Do the Right Thing.
Boy.
Get Out.
Good Night and Good Luck.
[sighs]
[Saskia] Where's the van?
[Mia] I don't know
what you're talking about.
You can look around.
There's nothing here.
I just want out.
I just want to get
my family and leave.
Mm. I don't believe you.
Oh, you have my word.
We'll just disappear.
You sound like your husband.
You know what?
I don't
think you want out at all.
I think you liked feeling
powerful and important.
I think you got off on playing
dress up in our world.
Because I would need
a fucking lobotomy
to live in this every day.
You see,
I'm running King Street now.
DMac's dead.
Well, he will be soon anyway.
Sorry you didn't
get to say goodbye.
I know how close you both were.
So you're either with me
or you're
with your dead husband.
Where the fuck are the drugs?
[tense music builds]
Oh, yeah. This is good, George.
This is really good.
[George] Where's Mia? Any word?
You want me to come?
It's best I do this alone,
I think.
Yeah, I can do this.
[George] Okay.
Hey!
"To see the world
in a grain of sand
and a heaven in a wild flower,
hold eternity
in the palm of your hand
and infinity in an hour."
[soft vocal music]
- Go well, my brother.
- Thanks, cuz.
[upbeat music]
[Mia] You know what's funny?
I actually did
like feeling powerful.
I liked the risk.
I liked the money.
But we're both here
because of our husbands.
I guess a woman's got
to do what she's got to do
in order to survive, right?
[Saskia] Oh! [chuckles]
Oh, honey, we are nothing alike.
Did you sleep with him?
With Jerry?
Oh my God. Oh, [gags] no.
Darling, please.
I mean, I didn't have to.
The idiot was
so starved of attention,
he was putty in my hands.
I know you killed him.
Yeah, I saw you.
Jerry filmed the whole thing.
Not such an idiot after all,
is he?
Well, I destroyed his phone,
so that's bullshit.
Well, it uploaded to the cloud,
and I have Jerry's passwords,
you fucking psychopath.
Now I'm getting
my kids and leaving.
Or I'm sending
the video to the cops.
Kids, kids Ah!
Kids? You mean this kid?
Yeah?
You think I'd actually
trust you with no leverage?
Our friend Ryan is
standing by for my call,
and I'm getting really
fucking sick and tired
of your family still breathing.
Give me the laptop
and the password!
[slow tense music]
Okay.
[Mia breathing shakily]
Oops. Just sent.
[grunts]
[screams]
[both panting]
[Saskia]
You shouldn't have done that.
[exhales]
[computer notification]
[dramatic music]
[knocking in video]
[Saskia] Oh, there you are.
You took you time.
[voices being sped up]
You need some fresh air?
Let's open that window, yeah?
Up next, Olivia Bennett.
[crowd applauding]
Kia ora e te whanau.
My name is Olivia Bennett.
I've been working on a speech
for months now.
I really wanted
it to be perfect,
but the harder I tried,
the messier everything got.
[both screaming and grunting]
[both grunting]
[Olivia] Some of you may know
my dad died recently.
It taught me that you
can take nothing for granted.
Nothing's fair.
[Mia grunts]
[Mia screaming]
Whoever becomes Head Girl,
it doesn't matter.
Because it's not about us.
It's actually about you.
[both grunting and screaming]
You deserve a leader
who will stand up
for what you care about,
who doesn't always
play by the rules,
because the rules are
all made up anyway.
My mom
is my biggest inspiration.
She doesn't always get it right.
[Mia yells]
But she never gives up.
- [Mia shrieks]
- [piano clangs]
She does everything
with grit and grace.
She's not perfect,
but she's a fighter.
[Mia grunts]
And that's the kind of leader
that I want to be.
One that never gives up on you.
Tell me,
where the fuck are my drugs?
- [grunting]
- What?
[screams] Rape!
[recording] Police!
Come out with your hands up!
[Olivia] I will not give up.
I will fight for you.
[Saskia grunts]
And I will get the job done,
no matter the consequences.
Tēnā koutou.
Tēnā koutou. Tēnā koutou katoa.
- Thank you.
- [all cheering]
[dramatic music]
[upbeat music]
'Cause I gave up a lot
when I patched over, man.
I really believed
in your plan for King Street.
I really saw your vision.
[groans] Just kill me.
Fuck, I miss my kids, man.
I didn't know you had kids.
Because you never fucking asked!
[DMac] Hey.
Spider?
Hey!
You did good, boy.
I'm proud of you.
Thanks.
[softly scoffs]
[elevator chimes and opens]
[rueful chuckle]
Where am I going to go?
[tense music]
Oh, shit!
Bro, it's the fucking pigs, man.
Just run boy!
Run, run, run, run, go!
Go on, run.
Oh, thank God, Woody.
The bad man went out the window.
Stay right there, MacNeill.
Oh, get fucked!
[rapid tense music]
I need all available units
to Bellevue Terrace.
I've located MacNeill.
Fuck!
[DMac moaning]
MacNeill!
[dramatic music]
MacNeill! Come on, it's over.
[DMac groans]
I don't have a weapon.
Oh, well, that was stupid,
Woody.
Pew!
Pew, pew, pew!
Put the gun down, mate.
Units are on the way.
[DMac] Oh, fuck off, Woody
You win.
All right, I got nothing.
I got no one.
I'm not the head
of King Street anymore, mate.
Didn't you get the news?
What a cock up, the whole thing.
[exhales]
Shot in the back
by the love of my life.
- Don't do it!
- [mocking] Don't do it!
Fuck off! For fuck's sake!
[panting weakly]
Darren MacNeill,
you're under arrest
for the importation
and distribution
of a class A drug.
- [gun clicks]
- [police sirens blaring]
Fuck's sake.
You are the one they arrested.
Oscar Clarke, P.I.
Thanks for busting me out.
How did you get this van?
Um, Mia Bennett got it.
She stole it off the 47's,
because they were
trying to rob you.
And then she told DMac
that she'd bring it to you.
- Then where is she?
- I don't, I don't know.
She just asked me
to bring it here to you.
Okay.
Cool. Oh! Oh!
Um
[tense dramatic music]
Oh! No, no, no, no, no.
Oh, man.
Um
Listen. Hey. Please, just,
Just look.
We did what we were told.
Mia got the shipment cleared,
and we brought the drugs to you.
I mean, we
Wait, I didn't talk.
Ask the lawyer.
Fine! Okay, fine.
But just listen.
You make sure that Mia
and her family are safe, okay?
Because she's the one
who put it together.
She is smart.
Can you just,
please don't hurt her.
[whimpering]
You know, we could have run,
but we didn't.
We stayed.
So just think about that.
- Face forward.
- [Oscar grunts]
I mean,
I didn't have to show up,
but I did,
because it's the right thing.
I think we did the right thing,
and I,
surely that counts
for something.
[sniffling and exhaling]
[chuckles]
Heaven in a wild flower.
[laughs] Oh!
Hi, Jules.
[sniffling]
[gentle music]
[Oscar panting]
Are you okay?
George told me where you were.
But I thought,
I thought you were like,
"Gone Baby Gone."
Oh, I forgot one.
P.S. I Love You.
Oh! Calm down.
Oh
Oh, yeah.
[student] And I'm honored to be
standing here today
as a candidate for Head Girl.
Over the past few years,
I've learned that leadership
isn't just about speaking up.
It's about showing.
It's about listening,
supporting others,
and helping to create
a school environment
where everyone feels seen,
heard, and valued.
I care deeply
about the school
[tense music]
Eyes to the front.
I need you to listen
very carefully.
You will leave here now.
There is a body in my house
and you will get rid of it.
Then, if I ever see you
near my family again,
I will hunt you down.
And I will fucking kill you.
Do you understand?
[dramatic music]
Thank you for considering me.
[applause and cheers]
Olivia was amazing!
This other girl is rubbish.
[person] Shh!
Got something on your lip, love.
[upbeat music playing]
[music continues]
[Mia] Come on, guys,
you're gonna be late.
She's coming. She's tried on
about a million
different earrings.
[Olivia]
My first official day, dick.
She's not even Head Girl yet.
[Olivia]
Uh, I won the vote, didn't I?
Oh, I kept one pair.
Saves you buying me more shoes.
[Olivia]
Okay, tell me the truth.
Oh
Oh, you look great.
Do you like the studs?
I was gonna go with hoops,
but then
Oh, that's a perfect,
very professional.
But like, casual?
Oh, so casually professional.
Okay, the bus is here.
Remember, Nana's picking you up.
- Yeah.
- I love you.
- Love you too, Mom.
- Have a great day.
[clears throat]
Thank you.
[Mia's musical ringtone]
How bizarre, how bizarre ♪
Thought you were off the clock.
[Woody] Heh, almost.
Just tidying up a few things.
I just wanted to give you a call
and let you know
that, uh, Jerry's case
has officially been closed.
Darren MacNeill is in custody
and awaiting trial,
which is, it's a big deal,
getting him off the streets.
Good for you, well done, Woody.
We've recovered the body
of a person
of interest in Tauranga.
We believe her to be his wife.
She was operating
either alongside
or possibly above MacNeill.
We think she's
the link to the Cartel.
I can't give you a name yet,
but the media
are calling her "Ms. X."
And you think she killed Jerry?
Oh, yes, we know she did.
Footage was sent
from Jerry's iCloud.
He must have timed
the email to arrive
after his passing
to keep you safe.
[chuckles]
Sounds like my husband.
Listen,
people do some crazy things
when they're desperate.
I hope this can help
give you some closure.
It does. Thank you.
Hey, it's the job.
I'll leave you to it.
- All the best, Ms. Bennett.
- Mia.
Look after yourself.
Hey, you can't kill weeds.
[gentle music]
You ready?
He hadn't drink
for days when I found him.
I'm just keeping him hydrated.
I didn't say anything.
How's Monica?
She's just getting a head start
on the JB Print rebrand.
Okay, Oscar, I told you,
don't go overboard.
Me? Never. Hold Monsieur Crump.
Okay, let's do this.
Mmm! Who's the little baby?
[soft upbeat music]
Hi, I'm Mia Bennett.
I remember.
It's all there.
You said you didn't care
how it got paid, right?
Looks good to me.
You have a lovely day.
[Crumpit whimpering]
[phone ringing]
Where to now?
[phone ringing]
[ending theme music]
[clock ticking]
[DMac] I feel
like you're ignoring me.
- [Jerry] I'm not ignoring you!
- [DMac] Watch your tone, Jerry.
Don't forget
who you're talking to.
When I call, you answer, okay?
I've got a lot riding on this.
Why is there a delay?
[Jerry] No, no, no,
everything's on track, DMac.
Okay? It's nearly ready.
[DMac] Good, 'cause
I fucking vouched for you.
It's 50K, Jerry.
Call it a deposit.
You get the rest on delivery.
No fuck-ups, right?
My bosses
are very powerful people.
They always get what they want.
And if they don't get
what they want, they take it.
Plus interest.
And you are the interest in this
scenario, Jerry. Capiche?
Don't make me come back here
and put a bullet
through your fucking skull.
[tense fast-paced music]
[yells] Fuck!
Fuck, fuck, fuck!
[music slows]
[distorted slow music]
[recording ding]
Hey, Mia. Um,
if you're watching this,
then, uh,
things haven't
gone as I planned.
[distorted music continues]
[music builds then stops]
[generic lobby music]
Hey. We're good?
[exhales]
[elevator chimes]
[electronic beeping]
[muffled voices]
Ah, there you are.
You took your time.
[Jerry]
Look, I've made a mistake, okay?
DMac came by the office.
No, he doesn't know
anything about you and me.
But if I don't deliver
what I promised him,
I am a fucking dead man.
You want more money?
Is that what this is?
No, I just don't want to be
in the fucking middle anymore.
Okay? I fucked up.
I should never have
promised it to you
when I'd made a deal with him.
You don't have to worry.
I will not tell DMac.
Okay, I will disappear.
You will never see
me ever again.
Just tell me where it is
and we won't have
a problem, yeah?
You know what?
I'll go to the cops.
I mean, if I have to.
If someone tries to hurt me.
It'd be
a very silly move, Jerry.
Where's the passport?
[slow tense music]
I didn't make it.
And I don't want to make it.
But he threatened me,
and I can't
give it to both of you.
Okay.
- Really?
- Yeah, okay.
You're a good man, Jerry.
I'm sure
you'll do the right thing.
So tense.
Let's have a drink, Jerry.
- [Jerry sighs in relief]
- Yeah?
Can I be honest with you?
You see, I don't give
a fuck about the passport.
- [soft scoff]
- Um
I just want my husband to lose.
And I will do anything
to make sure that happens.
[grunts]
But what about me, then?
You?
You're just collateral damage,
Jerry.
[Jerry groans in confusion]
[Saskia distorted]
You see, it's all about trust.
You don't look so good, Jerry.
You need some fresh air?
Huh?
Collateral damage, Jerry.
You don't look so good.
- Some fresh air?
- [Jerry grunts] Yeah.
Come on, come on.
- Hey! Oh!
- [Jerry grunts]
[Saskia] There we go.
Let's, uh,
let's open that window.
Yeah?
[Saskia] There you go, Jerry.
Inhale. There you go.
[music builds and stops]
[photocopier whirring]
[DMac]
Anyone got eyes on Tavita?
[Spider] He's gone off the grid.
Can't track a burner.
[DMac] Spider, how the fuck
are we going to find him?
If we lose those drugs,
the cartel will kill us.
Baby, baby, come on.
You're too tense.
Oh, yeah.
It'll go straight to my neck.
You need to relax.
- Yeah?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- That's it. That's it.
- [Mia's ringtone plays]
[DMac groans]
[Mia] Max!
[Max] Mom, where are you?
Dylan is freaking out.
His dad didn't come back
from the open home.
Listen to me, sweetheart.
I need you to go to the school.
Be around people.
Is Dylan with you?
Yeah. Why?
I know where he is.
How do you know that?
Tavita's got Ricky, and Ricky's
phone says he's right here.
His son just tracked him.
He's trying to fly out.
Clear out.
Why are we standing around
with our dicks in our hands?
Fucking move!
[exhales]
[Crumpit whimpers]
Baby, what if something
happens to you?
This isn't your game, love.
Stay here, all right?
I promise I'll be careful.
Hey, boys. Come on, let's move!
[fast-paced dramatic music]
Where is it? Huh?
I need my plane now!
It's circling the airfield.
Oh, so you want to be killed
by the fucking Cartel?
The landing gear
isn't extending.
Then use one of those ones!
Nah, Boss. The gear won't fit.
We're wasting time, all right?
We need to move that shit
before they find out it's gone.
You, go on lookout.
- Where is he supposed to go?
- [yells] Outside, all right?
Climb a fucking tree
or something.
Bunch of fucking muppets!
Tell him, stay hidden.
If there's any sign
of DMac or the Cartel,
I want to know about it.
You get that plane
on the ground.
Oh, sorry. Um,
I'm looking for an Oscar Clarke.
- Yeah.
- Great.
[Woody] Thanks, Karla.
[Gina] Right.
I'm your court-appointed lawyer.
I'm Gina Davis.
Your name's Gina Davis?
Yes, with an I. G-I-N-A.
Listen, Detective Morrison,
my client didn't consent
to having his blood drawn.
- Yes he did.
- Yes I did.
Right.
Okey doke.
Okay, I'll just be over here.
Just, uh,
just catch up on these.
[Woody]
When those bloods come back,
I'm expecting
a match with the sample
we collected from the hotel
the day Jeremy Bennett died.
I plead the Fifth.
That's not a thing
in New Zealand.
Listen,
I know you work for the Cartel.
I know
you kill people for money.
And I get that you don't
want to talk to me.
But if you give me something,
a name, anything,
I can try and help you.
I can stop them
from coming here.
I didn't kill Jerry Bennett, okay?
What about Felipe Gonzales?
No, no, I didn't kill anyone.
All right? I'm not a murderer.
[Woody exhales]
Do you know this man?
[Oscar] Um
You don't have
to protect Darren MacNeill.
He's a hardened criminal.
This is serious, Oscar.
I have CCTV and a witness
who places you
at Jose Roberts' house
the night
his passport was stolen.
You need to start talking.
People are dead.
[knocking]
[sighs] Excuse me.
[electronic lock beeps]
What's going on?
Two bodies found in an open home
riddled with bullet wounds.
Looks like it was
a cocaine pack house.
- Shit.
- There was a shipment last night
that was marked
for inspection that went AWOL.
And now remnants
of cocaine have been found
in the open home ovens.
It's being evaporated down.
- Cartel cocaine?
- Yeah, it's gotta be.
It's gotta be
King Street's operation.
Trying to track down
the real estate agent,
but he's not picking up.
- Who you got in the room?
- It's the jacket, Oscar Clarke.
Is he talking?
Not yet,
but he's covering for someone.
We got a warrant to search
MacNeill's driving range.
Find out what your guy
knows about the ports.
Copy that.
[DMac] I know, I'm sorry,
but distribution's
been compromised.
No, no, no, no, no.
I have the product with me,
so I will deliver it to you
personally in two hours.
Great. And then we'll
call it all square, eh?
Muriwai car park.
Yeah, I got that.
Okay.
[exhales nervously]
This had better fucking work.
I didn't know
that Saskia knew Jerry.
Nah, she didn't.
She's not in the game.
Yes she is.
She was at the hotel
the day Jerry died.
Oscar was there
and his secretary
saw them together.
[slow dramatic music]
[DMac] Hold on.
You're telling me
Saskia knew Jerry?
How the fuck did she--
- [shot clangs]
- [lookout grunts]
- Oh my God.
- [lookout screams]
Oh my God.
Okay, I'm gonna deal
with Tavita first.
Then I'm gonna deal with her.
You can't just go in there
and shoot everyone.
Yes, I fucking can!
Let me get Ricky.
Okay, just give me
five minutes, all right?
And then you can just
do whatever you want.
Fine! Go, go.
[exhales]
Oscar, I was wondering
if you could tell me
where you were last night.
Yeah, I was at home.
Can anyone corroborate that?
Yep, my cousin.
A large shipment of cocaine
went missing last night.
Your bosses would have sent it.
Would your name come up
if we asked
around the staff at the port?
My name? No, not my name.
Who are you protecting?
Is it DMac?
I don't know anyone
in the Cartel. I don't.
Come on, Oscar,
give me a name
so I can help you.
Otherwise, you're on your own.
[slow music]
Okay.
So,
there is this woman.
[Gina clears throat]
I'm sorry, I just,
can I just have
a minute with my lawyer?
Of course. Take your time.
[lock beeps]
- Oh, my God, I'm so dead.
- Mmm
I'm going to prison. Yep.
[Gina]
You need to get out of here.
Sure. Good idea.
No, no, no,
you're not getting it.
You have some
very powerful friends
that told me
to get you out of here.
[Oscar] You're Cartel?
No. They just threatened
to stitch my face
to a soccer ball
if I didn't get you out,
but they didn't tell me how.
So let me just think about it
for a second, okay?
Let me just think.
If I just happened
to put the swipe card
to the building
into this pocket,
and if you were to say,
borrow my hat and my jacket,
you could, I don't know,
leave out the door
without a guard on.
And I mean, hypothetically,
you could just walk
right on out the front door.
And you know,
if you gave them a name
pointing away from the Cartel,
we might all just
make it out alive.
So I'm just gonna be
on my phone over here.
[tense upbeat music]
[lock beeps]
- Hi.
- Hey!
- How you doing?
- Hey man.
[exhales]
[tense upbeat music]
[Mia] Hello?
Hello?
Ah, Tavita.
Just the man I was looking for.
Where's DMac?
He's being dealt with.
Tried to steal from us,
but I heard you stopped him.
The bosses are grateful.
Very grateful.
So why are you here then?
I'm here for Ricky Ioane.
He's an important member
of the family.
So the real estate guy
is Cartel?
Yes.
The Cartel owned the houses.
So I need you to hand him over.
I can't do that. Sorry, miss.
And why is that?
Because I know
you're not Cartel.
Mia.
See, you're playing
dress up for DMac
because you think
you can fuck me over, eh?
I don't appreciate
being lied to.
I don't need
to make that phone call.
My boys are here.
Please. Please don't.
[Tavita] Where the fuck is DMac?
- [man grunts]
- [Mia screams]
[slow tense music]
[man screams]
[DMac] Woo-hoo!
Oh, that feels so fucking good!
Oh!
Trust you to bring a pipe
to a fucking gunfight,
you fat fucking caveman!
[DMac giggles]
Where's her mate, Ricky?
[resigned sigh]
Out back, in the van.
[DMac] Go on, go get him.
Bring him in here. Go!
Oh, you want to steal from me?
Well now,
[panting] we got us a date.
[tense music]
[softly panting] Oh my God.
Ow! [groans] Ow!
What are you doing here, okay?
- You need to leave, okay?
- I know.
These guys are
fucking criminals.
[Mia] I know!
So you really think
you can rip me off
and get away with it, huh, rat?
When I brought you in on this?
You played me
this whole time, eh?
You lied about the Cartel.
No, no, no, no, I resent that.
I did not lie. I improvised.
The Cartel is very fucking real.
And you ripped them off,
so now you're gonna die.
Hey, Spider,
I want you to start this off.
I'd just like to watch.
Come on, mate, get going.
Sorry DMac. Can't do that.
[chuckles]
The fuck is going on here?
[laughs]
Did I say something funny,
you fat fuck?
[chuckles]
She got exactly what she wanted.
That was her plan all along.
You kill me, they kill you.
[DMac] My guys kill me?
Oh, that's good. [laughs]
We both got played, dumbass.
Your wife Saskia,
well she came to me first
to get that passport.
But then she killed
your photocopy guy
- You are so full of shit,
- and then killed the Cartel.
- Tavita!
- I don't fuck with crazy, DMac.
You do.
- Shut up!
- She wants you dead, bitch.
- Fuckin-- [groans]
- [gunshot]
[DMac groans]
Ow! Ugh!
So much more effective
than a mediator.
[DMac coughs]
[groans]
Where's my gear?
- Van out back
- [DMac groans]
Good boy. [exhales]
Now run,
before I change my mind.
Spider, go fetch.
That is so fucking poetic.
[groans] Shot in the back
by my own wife.
Just repaying the favor, baby.
I was with you
when you had nothing.
I built you up.
I took care of you.
And as soon as you get
a little bit of cred,
you just discard me
like a piece of shit.
Oh, honey,
you got to let that go.
You could have
gone out and got a job.
You love shoving that shit
up your nose.
- Fuck off!
- [grunting and groaning]
This, the Cartel, was my idea.
And you took credit for it,
and you cut me out.
[softly] Well
it's my turn now.
Yeah.
I'm going to turn King Street
into a fucking empire.
Oh, Jesus, do you think these
rats are going to follow you?
I know you love
the idea of being boss,
but you are so fucked, baby.
You killed Jerry.
- You killed Felipe.
- Shut up, shut the fuck up.
You think the Cartel
are going to like that?
And who's going to tell them?
[panting]
You can't snitch
if you're dead, baby.
Saskia! The van's gone.
The one with the gear.
It's gone.
- What?
- It's not there anymore.
[DMac laughs]
Fuck are you talking about?
[tense music]
I'll take you home.
These guys aren't
in the rug business, are they?
No.
No, they're not.
[Saskia] The fuck?
[disgusted sigh]
Okay, okay, okay.
We can't keep him here.
The cops will come crawling, yeah?
So take him to my apartment.
Make him give you
his Cartel contact
so we can do the drop.
Well,
how am I supposed to do that?
I don't know, torture the fuck?
Use some initiative,
Spider, yeah?
Because I'm off
to do your job for you
and find these fucking drugs.
[Saskia] [disgusted sigh]
[exhales]
I'm really sorry about all this.
There were just some things
I couldn't talk to you about.
But I had
a really nice time with you.
One more thing.
You can't talk about this.
To anyone.
Sorry, I just don't want
these people to find you.
Yeah, I got it.
You know, if you need to talk
It's best if we don't
do that anymore.
[soft dramatic music]
[sighs] Fuck.
- Thanks, Jess.
- [lock beeps]
Where is he?
Um, he just went to the toilet,
but he's keen
to give you some names.
How long has he been gone?
About 20 minutes?
Wait. He couldn't have!
- Oh no
- Fuck!
[tense music]
No!
[DMac groans]
[Spider sighs]
Fuck, take a drink, man.
You trying
to keep me alive now, Judas?
Just tell me how I find her, man.
Where's the fucking phone?
No, no, no, no, I'll tell!
- Where is the--
- I'll tell you.
I'll tell you, I'll tell you.
I'll tell you, all right?
You're looking
in the wrong place.
It's up my ass.
[sniffles]
[DMac moans and grunts]
I'm never gonna tell you,
all right?
I'm not stupid.
[groans] You're dead, Spider.
You're all dead.
Don't you get that?
Saskia is gonna lead
you all straight to hell.
She's worse than I am, mate.
I was married to her for years.
Made me want
to crush my left nut.
[Spider] Worse than you?
And you're a fucking shit boss,
you know that?
You never,
you never fucking listen.
You always
took me for granted, man.
Oh, I'm sorry!
Maybe you should have
taken that up with HR.
I was trying to build you up.
Just a thank you every now
and then would have been nice.
I said thank you, didn't I?
[tense dark music]
[music continues]
[sighs]
[music continues]
[Jeremy] Hey Mia,
if you're watching this,
then things haven't
gone as I planned.
I have made so many
fucking mistakes, Mia.
I'm so sorry,
but everything I tried to do
to fix things
just made it worse.
And now, here we are.
I hid things from you
because I didn't want you
to see me for who I really was.
You were always too good for me.
Mia, I know that you
were always stronger.
And you gave up so much for us.
And
I failed you.
Now Mia, you need
to listen, okay?
If I don't come back,
there is a woman.
Her name is Saskia Harlowe.
Now she's married
to a man who goes by DMac.
You need to stay away
from both of them.
You need to get out, Mia.
You need to take the kids
and you need to leave.
There is money
in this storage locker.
Just run.
I love you Mia.
So much.
[sniffles]
[knocking]
[Saskia] Oh, there you are.
You took your time.
[voices being sped up]
Okay, I will disappear.
You will never
see me ever again.
I've got you.
[voices being sped up]
There you go.
Just take a deep breath.
[Jeremy groans]
[gasps]
There you go. Deep breath.
- Lean forward.
- [Mia whimpers]
[screams on video]
Oh my God.
Oh my God,
what were you thinking?
[Oscar] What was who thinking?
- Shit!
- Oh, geez. I'm sorry.
Fucking Christ, Oscar,
you gotta stop doing that!
I'm sorry, I do.
What are you watching?
- Jerry sent a video.
- Hmm?
Saskia killed him.
She pushed him.
- What?
- We have proof.
Where have you been?
Hmm? Oh, I had to break out
of the police station.
What? Why were you
at the police station?
I was arrested for murder.
Oh, my God, I'm so sorry.
I had to run,
it was either that or tell them
- everything, you know?
- Thank you.
[whispers] Yeah.
What's with all the bags?
The deal went bad.
We're leaving the country.
I'm going to get
the kids and go.
- You're coming too, obviously.
- I can't.
Yeah, of course you can.
We could go to Australia.
We could go to the islands.
No, Mia, I can't.
I don't have a passport.
Yeah, I'm aware of the irony.
We'll just make you one.
We'll just hide out
for a couple of days.
We don't have a couple of days.
Oh, fuck,
I know, I know, I know.
Okay, I'll just, I'll send
the video to the cops.
The Cartel's going
to come after us
even if the cops
believe our story.
They knew I was
in the police station.
They're everywhere.
You're right.
The only way is to run.
I'm not going
anywhere without you.
Wait.
There is still a deal
on the table with the cartel.
But we're going
to need George for that.
Holy moly!
People will come
looking for this van, so.
Yeah, we get it to Chewy's.
And then, um, what?
Once he's done his thing
so they don't recognize it,
then we do the drop-off.
What if the Cartel
don't believe how we got it?
These are their drugs.
That's what they're expecting.
And they won't stop
until they get them Oscar.
Look, I have
to get the kids, okay?
You meet me at George's after,
and if I'm not there in an hour,
you just leave it
at the car park in Muriwai.
That's where DMac
was meeting them.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
- We can do this, okay?
- Okay.
See you at George's. Now go.
[keys clacking]
- Damn it.
- [computer chimes]
Come on, come on, come on.
[loud knocking]
- [knocking]
- [Tracey] Mia!
It's Tracey.
I know you're in there.
Okay, fine. I'm using my key.
- Fuck!
- That's why you gave it to me.
Trace!
Now's not a good time, Trace.
Oh, hi.
Yeah, well, apparently, it's
never a good time for you is it?
Because I keep calling you
and you don't answer me back.
- I need you to leave now.
- Well, then I called your mom.
Yeah, I called Sally,
and she said that you went
to Bridget's for dinner.
Bridget! I mean,
what the fuck's going on?
- It was an impulse decision.
- We hate Bridget!
- It was actually fun.
- Don't say fun.
Wow. Oh, that's cool.
Yeah, well, you want
to get fucked up
with those fake Auckland
scene wankers?
Waste all your money?
Cool, go for it.
Don't hang out
with your best friend.
Look, I know that you
have been going
through a really hard time.
Can you tell me the truth?
Like, is it
because of the tarot?
What?
Because I haven't
even done a course.
I've just got
that book, booklet,
and I'm just trying
to figure it out.
Trace,
could we please talk about this
- at another time, please?
- No, we can't.
Because I feel like
I don't even know you anymore.
And since when did you have
a fucking red car?
Listen to me.
Jerry left me
in a world of shit.
I just need to get my kids
before some really bad--
[ominous music]
You see, this is why
I don't have female friends.
- [Tracey grunts]
- [Mia whimpers]
Okay. Are you sure
you can do this, cuz?
- Yeah, man. Give me ten minutes.
- Okay. Where's Monica?
Monica? Hello?
[soft dramatic music]
[clock ticking]
Sorry to Bother You.
Gone Baby Gone.
Do the Right Thing.
Boy.
Get Out.
Good Night and Good Luck.
[sighs]
[Saskia] Where's the van?
[Mia] I don't know
what you're talking about.
You can look around.
There's nothing here.
I just want out.
I just want to get
my family and leave.
Mm. I don't believe you.
Oh, you have my word.
We'll just disappear.
You sound like your husband.
You know what?
I don't
think you want out at all.
I think you liked feeling
powerful and important.
I think you got off on playing
dress up in our world.
Because I would need
a fucking lobotomy
to live in this every day.
You see,
I'm running King Street now.
DMac's dead.
Well, he will be soon anyway.
Sorry you didn't
get to say goodbye.
I know how close you both were.
So you're either with me
or you're
with your dead husband.
Where the fuck are the drugs?
[tense music builds]
Oh, yeah. This is good, George.
This is really good.
[George] Where's Mia? Any word?
You want me to come?
It's best I do this alone,
I think.
Yeah, I can do this.
[George] Okay.
Hey!
"To see the world
in a grain of sand
and a heaven in a wild flower,
hold eternity
in the palm of your hand
and infinity in an hour."
[soft vocal music]
- Go well, my brother.
- Thanks, cuz.
[upbeat music]
[Mia] You know what's funny?
I actually did
like feeling powerful.
I liked the risk.
I liked the money.
But we're both here
because of our husbands.
I guess a woman's got
to do what she's got to do
in order to survive, right?
[Saskia] Oh! [chuckles]
Oh, honey, we are nothing alike.
Did you sleep with him?
With Jerry?
Oh my God. Oh, [gags] no.
Darling, please.
I mean, I didn't have to.
The idiot was
so starved of attention,
he was putty in my hands.
I know you killed him.
Yeah, I saw you.
Jerry filmed the whole thing.
Not such an idiot after all,
is he?
Well, I destroyed his phone,
so that's bullshit.
Well, it uploaded to the cloud,
and I have Jerry's passwords,
you fucking psychopath.
Now I'm getting
my kids and leaving.
Or I'm sending
the video to the cops.
Kids, kids Ah!
Kids? You mean this kid?
Yeah?
You think I'd actually
trust you with no leverage?
Our friend Ryan is
standing by for my call,
and I'm getting really
fucking sick and tired
of your family still breathing.
Give me the laptop
and the password!
[slow tense music]
Okay.
[Mia breathing shakily]
Oops. Just sent.
[grunts]
[screams]
[both panting]
[Saskia]
You shouldn't have done that.
[exhales]
[computer notification]
[dramatic music]
[knocking in video]
[Saskia] Oh, there you are.
You took you time.
[voices being sped up]
You need some fresh air?
Let's open that window, yeah?
Up next, Olivia Bennett.
[crowd applauding]
Kia ora e te whanau.
My name is Olivia Bennett.
I've been working on a speech
for months now.
I really wanted
it to be perfect,
but the harder I tried,
the messier everything got.
[both screaming and grunting]
[both grunting]
[Olivia] Some of you may know
my dad died recently.
It taught me that you
can take nothing for granted.
Nothing's fair.
[Mia grunts]
[Mia screaming]
Whoever becomes Head Girl,
it doesn't matter.
Because it's not about us.
It's actually about you.
[both grunting and screaming]
You deserve a leader
who will stand up
for what you care about,
who doesn't always
play by the rules,
because the rules are
all made up anyway.
My mom
is my biggest inspiration.
She doesn't always get it right.
[Mia yells]
But she never gives up.
- [Mia shrieks]
- [piano clangs]
She does everything
with grit and grace.
She's not perfect,
but she's a fighter.
[Mia grunts]
And that's the kind of leader
that I want to be.
One that never gives up on you.
Tell me,
where the fuck are my drugs?
- [grunting]
- What?
[screams] Rape!
[recording] Police!
Come out with your hands up!
[Olivia] I will not give up.
I will fight for you.
[Saskia grunts]
And I will get the job done,
no matter the consequences.
Tēnā koutou.
Tēnā koutou. Tēnā koutou katoa.
- Thank you.
- [all cheering]
[dramatic music]
[upbeat music]
'Cause I gave up a lot
when I patched over, man.
I really believed
in your plan for King Street.
I really saw your vision.
[groans] Just kill me.
Fuck, I miss my kids, man.
I didn't know you had kids.
Because you never fucking asked!
[DMac] Hey.
Spider?
Hey!
You did good, boy.
I'm proud of you.
Thanks.
[softly scoffs]
[elevator chimes and opens]
[rueful chuckle]
Where am I going to go?
[tense music]
Oh, shit!
Bro, it's the fucking pigs, man.
Just run boy!
Run, run, run, run, go!
Go on, run.
Oh, thank God, Woody.
The bad man went out the window.
Stay right there, MacNeill.
Oh, get fucked!
[rapid tense music]
I need all available units
to Bellevue Terrace.
I've located MacNeill.
Fuck!
[DMac moaning]
MacNeill!
[dramatic music]
MacNeill! Come on, it's over.
[DMac groans]
I don't have a weapon.
Oh, well, that was stupid,
Woody.
Pew!
Pew, pew, pew!
Put the gun down, mate.
Units are on the way.
[DMac] Oh, fuck off, Woody
You win.
All right, I got nothing.
I got no one.
I'm not the head
of King Street anymore, mate.
Didn't you get the news?
What a cock up, the whole thing.
[exhales]
Shot in the back
by the love of my life.
- Don't do it!
- [mocking] Don't do it!
Fuck off! For fuck's sake!
[panting weakly]
Darren MacNeill,
you're under arrest
for the importation
and distribution
of a class A drug.
- [gun clicks]
- [police sirens blaring]
Fuck's sake.
You are the one they arrested.
Oscar Clarke, P.I.
Thanks for busting me out.
How did you get this van?
Um, Mia Bennett got it.
She stole it off the 47's,
because they were
trying to rob you.
And then she told DMac
that she'd bring it to you.
- Then where is she?
- I don't, I don't know.
She just asked me
to bring it here to you.
Okay.
Cool. Oh! Oh!
Um
[tense dramatic music]
Oh! No, no, no, no, no.
Oh, man.
Um
Listen. Hey. Please, just,
Just look.
We did what we were told.
Mia got the shipment cleared,
and we brought the drugs to you.
I mean, we
Wait, I didn't talk.
Ask the lawyer.
Fine! Okay, fine.
But just listen.
You make sure that Mia
and her family are safe, okay?
Because she's the one
who put it together.
She is smart.
Can you just,
please don't hurt her.
[whimpering]
You know, we could have run,
but we didn't.
We stayed.
So just think about that.
- Face forward.
- [Oscar grunts]
I mean,
I didn't have to show up,
but I did,
because it's the right thing.
I think we did the right thing,
and I,
surely that counts
for something.
[sniffling and exhaling]
[chuckles]
Heaven in a wild flower.
[laughs] Oh!
Hi, Jules.
[sniffling]
[gentle music]
[Oscar panting]
Are you okay?
George told me where you were.
But I thought,
I thought you were like,
"Gone Baby Gone."
Oh, I forgot one.
P.S. I Love You.
Oh! Calm down.
Oh
Oh, yeah.
[student] And I'm honored to be
standing here today
as a candidate for Head Girl.
Over the past few years,
I've learned that leadership
isn't just about speaking up.
It's about showing.
It's about listening,
supporting others,
and helping to create
a school environment
where everyone feels seen,
heard, and valued.
I care deeply
about the school
[tense music]
Eyes to the front.
I need you to listen
very carefully.
You will leave here now.
There is a body in my house
and you will get rid of it.
Then, if I ever see you
near my family again,
I will hunt you down.
And I will fucking kill you.
Do you understand?
[dramatic music]
Thank you for considering me.
[applause and cheers]
Olivia was amazing!
This other girl is rubbish.
[person] Shh!
Got something on your lip, love.
[upbeat music playing]
[music continues]
[Mia] Come on, guys,
you're gonna be late.
She's coming. She's tried on
about a million
different earrings.
[Olivia]
My first official day, dick.
She's not even Head Girl yet.
[Olivia]
Uh, I won the vote, didn't I?
Oh, I kept one pair.
Saves you buying me more shoes.
[Olivia]
Okay, tell me the truth.
Oh
Oh, you look great.
Do you like the studs?
I was gonna go with hoops,
but then
Oh, that's a perfect,
very professional.
But like, casual?
Oh, so casually professional.
Okay, the bus is here.
Remember, Nana's picking you up.
- Yeah.
- I love you.
- Love you too, Mom.
- Have a great day.
[clears throat]
Thank you.
[Mia's musical ringtone]
How bizarre, how bizarre ♪
Thought you were off the clock.
[Woody] Heh, almost.
Just tidying up a few things.
I just wanted to give you a call
and let you know
that, uh, Jerry's case
has officially been closed.
Darren MacNeill is in custody
and awaiting trial,
which is, it's a big deal,
getting him off the streets.
Good for you, well done, Woody.
We've recovered the body
of a person
of interest in Tauranga.
We believe her to be his wife.
She was operating
either alongside
or possibly above MacNeill.
We think she's
the link to the Cartel.
I can't give you a name yet,
but the media
are calling her "Ms. X."
And you think she killed Jerry?
Oh, yes, we know she did.
Footage was sent
from Jerry's iCloud.
He must have timed
the email to arrive
after his passing
to keep you safe.
[chuckles]
Sounds like my husband.
Listen,
people do some crazy things
when they're desperate.
I hope this can help
give you some closure.
It does. Thank you.
Hey, it's the job.
I'll leave you to it.
- All the best, Ms. Bennett.
- Mia.
Look after yourself.
Hey, you can't kill weeds.
[gentle music]
You ready?
He hadn't drink
for days when I found him.
I'm just keeping him hydrated.
I didn't say anything.
How's Monica?
She's just getting a head start
on the JB Print rebrand.
Okay, Oscar, I told you,
don't go overboard.
Me? Never. Hold Monsieur Crump.
Okay, let's do this.
Mmm! Who's the little baby?
[soft upbeat music]
Hi, I'm Mia Bennett.
I remember.
It's all there.
You said you didn't care
how it got paid, right?
Looks good to me.
You have a lovely day.
[Crumpit whimpering]
[phone ringing]
Where to now?
[phone ringing]
[ending theme music]
