JOYCE: You've changed.

In a good way?

In a good way.

MARTIN: We can't compete
with Glow Bronze

if they're offering a BOGO.

VICKI: So just cut off
their supply.

(MARTIN GRUNTS)

MONY: You've brought me
some peace, Terry,

and I like to take care of
those who take care of me.

- VEGA: We have an issue.
- Issue?

Mate, you're gonna have to
take a drug test.

(SCREAMS)

OZAN: There have to be
consequences.

What kind of consequences?

You will hand over
your territory.

The casino?

JOYCE: You found something?

NOVA: Yes, I did.

SUSI: There's
an opportunity for me

that's outside of all of this.

MONY: You're not going anywhere!

Oh, my God. (GASPS)

Congratulations! You did it!

- We really did!
- Let's celebrate!

- HENLEY: Ooh!
- Whoo!

Oh, I would've brought you one,
but...

...we did all the work.

Well, you could've just brought
a normal-size one.

I sure coulda.

- So let's talk expansion.
- VICKI: Mm.

How quickly can we have Tansform
on shelves nationwide?

Yeah, about that...
Uh, no need to panic.

OK, now,
by phrasing it that way,

you are kind of invoking panic.

OK, so... (CLEARS THROAT)

...the last couple of weeks,
there's been some changes

on the exec side
here at Chemist Galore.

What do you mean?

It means that
the new VP of retail -

not me, didn't get it -

uh, he doesn't rubber-stamp
new deals

that he hasn't
personally reviewed.

Sure, OK, what kind of delay
are we talking?

Oh, not long. Three, six months.

Six months, Henley?

Yeah, uh, no,
I get your frustration.

Do you, Henley? You do?

Yeah, you said that,
if we sold enough spray tan,

we'd go national!

You looked us in the eye

and you swore an oath

on the lives of
your three children, man.

- I don't think I did that.
- (MOCKINGLY) I think you did.

OK, this VP, can we meet him?

Oh, well, let's give him
some time to settle in

and, uh, I'll schedule a
sit-down in the next few weeks.

We don't really have
a few weeks.

VICKI: Our financial
situation is grim.

Yeah, can we talk to him sooner?

Well, I'm having dinner with him
tonight, but, uh...

So I can put in a good word
and maybe get you in earlier.

Tonight, you say?

That wasn't an invite.

Look, if we succeed,
you succeed, right?

Well... s-sure.

So help us help you.

- VICKI: Mm.
- MARTIN: Mm-hm.

And, Henley,
even if you don't invite us,

we're gonna find out
where you're having dinner

and we're gonna show up anyway.

(VICKI CHUCKLES)

OK, fine.

7pm sharp.

And just try to look the part.

- That's my man right there!
- Alright.

- Whoo! Let's go.
- Send us the details. Yeah.

HENLEY: Yeah. Oh, Martin,
Martin, stick around?

Weird.

What's up?

So, um, the new VP,

he's... he's tricky.

He's, uh, hard to please

and he's not planning on
approving many new deals.

So if you want tonight
to go your way,

things need to go perfectly.

Oh, we get it.

What I mean is...

...it might be wise

for Vicki to sit this one out.

Wait, Vicki is half the company.
I can't tell her to stay home.

Oh, you know what?

Don't you worry.
Yeah, I can manage her.

Hey, you're driving, right?

So I can have yours?

Yay!

(HENLEY SIGHS)

She likes champagne.

Do you know what,
you're married, right?

(HESITANTLY) Yes.

Uh, y-yes.

And your wife is discerning

and d-d... (WHISPERS)
...different to your sister?

Very much so.

Bring her along.

She, um... she might
dilute Vicki.

You know, keep things level.

OK.

Martin...

...I'm rooting for you...

- Oh, thank you.
- ...so you know.

This is your shot.

VICKI: Henley really said
I shouldn't come?

I literally thought
that guy loved me.

MARTIN: I told him
that you have to be there.

Yeah, no shit
I have to be there,

and I'm gonna
prove him so wrong.

Oh, no,
please don't start any trouble.

No, no, no. It's gonna be fine.

In fact, I am going
to behave so properly,

act with so much decorum,

that Henley's gonna
fuckin' choke

on my good fuckin' manners.

OK, well, sounds great.

I'm still gonna bring Joyce
since Henley thinks it'll help.

- OK?
- Hey.

- (UNEASY MUSIC)
- We have a problem.

(VICKI SIGHS)

(UNEASY MUSIC FADES)

NOVA: OK, so he hasn't
destroyed any evidence.

No clandestine meetings
with shady figures.

No uncontrollable weeping
at religious sites.

Nothing to suggest
he's feeling guilty.

So how's he been acting?

(SIGHS) He's still trying
to win me back.

So... nice, attentive.

You think he knows
something's up?

No, but it's getting hard

pretending like
everything's normal.

You sure you want
to keep doing this?

(JOYCE SIGHS)

I need to know
if he was involved.

You really think
he could be capable of murder?

I don't know,
but... he is different.

'Feed a man to a croc'
different?

(SIGHS)

Obviously, being extorted
the night Kash died looks bad.

- But...
- NOVA: Hmm.

...it doesn't prove
he's a murderer.

True, but it does put him
on the shortlist of suspects.

Still, there's no evidence.

Maybe we should go back
to the beginning.

It's possible we missed
something along the way.

OK. For me, it all started
when that croc went boom.

- (NOVA CHUCKLES)
- JOYCE: Mm-hm.

Oh, speaking of -
check this out.

- What? (LAUGHS)
- Nice, huh?

I should sell these.

Yeah, I'll take one.

(NOVA LAUGHS)

What would cause
that kind of explosion?

Um, I googled 'Do crocs
spontaneously combust?'

They don't.

But maybe that's
where we should start.

Mm.

(TENSE MUSIC)

(LID POPS OPEN)

(PILLS RATTLE)

(TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES)

(SIGHS)

(TENSE MUSIC FADES)

What's that?

Losing the casino
was a tough break.

It's not easy
to replace that revenue.

No shit.

So I've been trying to find
alternative ways

to put some cash in your pocket.

I spoke to
these real estate people.

They reckon
the value of this place

has skyrocketed over the years.

You could sell.
You could walk away, retire.

Do whatever you want.

Holy fuck.

Someone would actually
pay that much

for a fucking kid-themed park.

Not the park, Mones. The land.

To do what?

Develop it.

Develop how?

They said into townhouses.

- Townhouses?
- Yeah.

Like, nice ones.

Three storeys,
community pickleball court...

What the fuck is pickleball?

You know,
when me and Kash were kids,

we didn't have a lot of
supervision at the foster house.

Climb over the fence,
sneak in here most days.

And when we got enough cash,

we bought the place,
made it ours.

Yeah, Mones, I know.

But Kash is gone.

This is the only home
Kash and I have ever known.

So you tell your guy
and his pickle balls

to get fucked,

'cause I ain't selling.

Besides,

I've got the perfect replacement
for the casino.

(INDISTINCT ANNOUNCEMENT
OVER P.A.)

MONY: Yeah, this has
everything we need.

Degenerate gamblers

that we can, uh, target
for high-interest loans.

Fat-pocketed whales that we can
extort for their winnings.

(PUNTER COUGHS AND SPLUTTERS)

It's not quite the income
bracket we're used to.

Yeah, Mones, the guys who, uh,
come here are pretty wrung dry.

Yeah, and I'm a dog person.

This place is pretty hard
to stomach.

Listen, we're going to have
a meeting with the owner

about partnering.

No more negativity.

This place is perfect.

MARTIN:
Gotta get this thing steamed.

Hey, do you have
a needle and thread?

These are starting to fray
in the crotch.

Oh, no, please don't tell me
you're wearing those tonight.

These are my lucky jeans,
Martin.

Of course they're for tonight.

Come on, don't you have anything
a little more, like, CEO-y?

You know,
a pantsuit of some kind?

Or a lady tux?

My God, this is like
Little Miss Indiana.

Little Miss what?

Remember that pageant
Mom would make me compete in?

Oh, yeah, yeah, where you bit
one of the judges

and got disqualified, yeah.

I do remember that.

That was very bad.

Yeah, I feel like you and Henley

are trying to
Little Miss Indiana me.

Oh, no, look, look,

I'm not asking you to pretend

to be someone you're not, alright?

I'm just saying
put on something nice

and act like
you know what you're doing,

because you do.

Thanks, bud.

But keep your teeth to yourself.

God, everybody
always focuses on that,

but I finished
in the final round that year.

- Yeah, you did.
- Yeah, I did.

- Hey, Vic?
- What?

You got this. I believe in you.

Thanks.

(TENSE MUSIC)

(WHISPERS) Fuck.

(YELLS) Fuck!

(KNOCKS)

Tez!

I need some pills.

But aren't you meant to be

entering treatment
in a few weeks?

Yeah, I g... I know, I know.
I got it.

Wait, wait, wait -
opiates take a while

to clear your system, OK?

If you're gonna pass a piss test

and enter the trials,
you're gonna...

Yeah, I understand. I get it.

I just need some pills.

Oh, hey, hey, hey. Hey.

I know this shit's
really hard to kick, OK?

But I would hate
to see you waste your shot.

I told you - I'm fine.

I've got a plan.

(PILLS RATTLE)

(SIGHS)

(BROCK LAUGHS)

BROCK: Well,
as far as I'm concerned,

the conventional banking system
is a relic of the past anyway.

Yeah, so you get it, Brock.

You want to sell financial
services to my customers?

I say it's a free market.

Oh, music to my ears.

And the more money you loan
these deadbeats,

the more ends up in my pocket.

Always said you were
a quick study.

Problem is...

...what happens
if one of your borrowers

wins big?

Yeah, well, see,
we've got a, uh, fail-safe.

My colleague here, Susi,

she's, uh, an expert

in putting people
in compromising situations.

BROCK: Bit of a life-ruiner,
are you, eh?

Not hard to see why.

MONY: Yeah, the best.

Never missed a target.

So if someone walks out of here
with too much of my money...

Well, we just bring it
all the way back to you, Brock.

Bar your cut.

Which is...

...how much?

We take 80% of
the extortion revenue.

Well...

...I heard that you were having

a bit of trouble
with the casino.

The word is, yeah...

(CHUCKLES)

...the syndicate's
giving it to Skinner.

Is that what you heard?

No, I gave it away.

Place was past its prime.

Either way, it seems like
the options for your skill set

are rather limited.

Excuse me?

Well, what I'm trying to say

is that maybe we can negotiate
that percentage.

(LOW, MENACING MUSIC)

70.

50.

- 60.
- 50.

You know it's fair.

51.

Or I walk.

(MENACING MUSIC CRESCENDOS)

Here's to
a fruitful partnership.

(EXHALES)

(SIGHS)

And fuck the casino.

(CHUCKLES)

It's all there.
You can trust me.

Yeah, yeah, I'll be
the better judge of that.

(SKINNER SHUFFLES MONEY)

Mate, I wouldn't mess around.

Not after the last couple
of weeks you've had.

What the fuck does that mean?

Nothing. Nothing.

No, no, no. Go on.

Tell me about the last couple
of weeks I've had.

It's just the...
the thing with Mony.

What thing?

Branding.

Who the fuck
told you about that?

I don't know who told me
initially, but I...

Fuckin' tell me!

Jeffers, Lefty, Don Don.

And then Big Rod, he was saying

that, uh, you wanna be careful

it doesn't turn into
an infection.

He's done a first aid
accreditation.

- He's fully ticketed.
- What the fuck?

But no-one thinks any less
of you based on any of that.

- Less of me?
- Nuh.

- Who the fuck's saying that?
- No-one.

Wombat said it.

And... Steve.
But the other Steve.

He's back in town.
He said something.

Is that rhetorical,
what you just...

I don't know. I can't tell.
I don't have those nuances.

Um, I feel like I should go.

And, um, your father was
an inspiration to many of us.

(TRAFFIC HUBBUB)

- (LIFT BELL DINGS)
- (LOUDLY) Joyce!

Martin.

Uh... What are you doing here?

I know, this is your workplace.
It's just a...

Well, first, for you, milady.

Thanks.

So, look, Vicki and I
have this dinner tonight.

It's a Tansform thing with
this VP at Chemist Galore.

And I realise
this is last minute,

but I was hoping
you might be able to join.

Oh.

I know, we're talking spray tan.
Very boring stuff.

But having you there
for support would...

...it would mean a lot to me.

You wouldn't
have to do anything.

You just sit there
and be charming

and laugh at all my jokes,
obviously. (LAUGHS)

(CHUCKLES WEAKLY)

Yeah, I...I can't.

Oh.

- Oh, OK.
- Yeah.

It's a...
I've got a work thing, so...

Yeah, I mean, is there any way
that you can get out of it?

Pretty please?
Please, please, please?

(CHUCKLES) Yeah, I wish,
but, um...

...my boss, you know?

Yeah. Uh...

Well, I get it.

I mean, totally...
totally fine, yeah.

Yeah. Sorry. Another night?

Uh, for sure. For sure.

Yeah, OK.

Uh, but, like,
we're... we're OK, right?

Yeah. Yeah, of course. Yeah.

MARTIN: OK. Cool.

Yeah. Mm.

But, um, good luck.

You're gonna be great.

Thanks. 'Bye.

(INTRIGUING MUSIC CONTINUES)

TERRY: You wanna make
some money?

- BENNO: Ohh!
- (URINE TRICKLES)

Oh, that... that is
the cleanest piss

this side of southern Sydney.

- That is... that is so clean.
- (PILLS RATTLE)

You could drink that.

Alright, not... not that
I've drank my own piss, yeah?

- (ZIPPER BUZZES)
- I mean, c...

I mean, we've all
thought about it, yeah?

(CLOTHING RUSTLES)

All done.

(TERRY INHALES)

- Bit dehydrated, Benno.
- Oh, yeah, thanks, mate.

Yeah, did a lot of crunches
this morning. (SNIFFLES)

Yeah, lid.

Um...

Just hold still.

- Still!
- I got it.

Stop! You're gonna fuckin'
spill it everywhere.

I've fuckin' got it, mate!
I've got it. Go fuck...

(SPECIMEN JAR CLATTERS)

BENNO: Shit.

OK, just, like,
give me 20 minutes

and then I'll be good
to go again, yeah?

Just...

(BENNO SNIFFLES)

Oh. No, Terry!

Terry, no. You're not gonna...

Fuck. Hey, Terry, look at me.

Terry, you're better than that.
Yeah?

Mate, think of your kid.

(KEYPAD BEEPS)

What?

Joyce can't come tonight.

VICKI: Oooh, lost your
Vicki buffer. Bummer.

What are you gonna do?

She wasn't a buffer!
Uh, look, you're right.

We'll be fine, alright? So...

How's the whole pantsuit search
going?

Bad. Weird.

Everything looks bad and weird.

Ugh! God.

How is this so expensive
and so itchy?

You know what, I'm just gonna...
I'm just gonna wear my jeans.

Seriously?

Do not make this my fault,
Martin.

Vicki, our entire future
is riding on this meeting.

Can you please
just work with me?

You know what?
I love you. I'm leaving.

- I'll see you soon. 'Bye.
- Vicki, we're just...

Hello!

MARTIN:
Hey, are you busy tonight?

Why?

I need a date.

SUSI: A date?

(STAMMERS) Not like that.

Not like what?

Not, like, romantic.

(INHALES) Right.
Well, now you've hooked me.

Sorry. I...I have
a dinner tonight

with this important buyer.

And I know this is
gonna sound ridiculous,

but I need someone to, uh...

...well, to... to pretend
to be my wife.

Don't you have a wife, Martin?

She's unavailable.

Right.

Right. So you thought...

MARTIN: That you,

being someone who's
used to playing a part...

- Because I'm a con woman?
- But... No.

No, no, no, no.

Uh, well, yeah, I mean, look...

And I think
you would even admit this,

that your skills in this area

might be pretty beneficial.

I guess I do owe you
for the business plan advice.

Not to mention

the whole 'blackmail
that ruined my life' thing?

Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah, and that.

(SUSI CHUCKLES) Mm.

What time?

(SOFTLY) Yes!

(WHISPERS) OK, no, no, no.
No, no.

Hey, babes! What's the occasion?

Oh, thanks. No, I'm actually...
I'm done here.

Oh, wedding? Funeral.

Funeral?

Well, you looked really sad.

- Really? I do?
- Mm-hm.

Um... I'm, um...

I'm going to a business dinner.

Oooh! Business dinner!

What's the vibe?

The only instruction
I've been given

is to refrain from being me.

- Mm-hm.
- Which, you know...

...makes me wanna
fucking kill myself.

Oooh! Spooky!

Look, lucky for you,
fixing this up is my speciality.

- OK.
- Yeah, so...

- (SIGHS DRAMATICALLY)
- And don't kill yourself.

Play by the rules.

Yeah. I'm all zipped up

You don't have to worry
about me.

Yeah. (SNIFFS AND SIGHS)

Susi's supposed to be here.

Honestly, it might be
for the best.

Having your extortionist
cosplay as your wife is cool,

but, trust me, it can backfire.

Yeah.

Hey.

We're gonna be OK.

- We've come this far.

(VICKI EXHALES)

(PATRONS CHATTER)

MAN: Now,
that prescription counter...

- HENLEY: Yes.

HENLEY: Yes.
Oh, yeah, that's right.

So, um, Martin and Vicki Marvin,

this is Lachlan Jennings, uh,
Chemist Galore's VP of retail,

and, uh, his lovely wife,
Gloria, so...

MARTIN: Hi.
It's great to meet you.

(FORMALLY) Good evening
to you... both.

- Yeah.
- LACHLAN: Hi.

- (MARTIN AND VICKI CHUCKLE)
- LACHLAN: Um...

(SIGHS) Right.

Are we expecting anyone else?

Sorry, my wife,
she was, you know...

Wouldn't miss it for the world.

- Hi, darling.
- Oh!

Sorry. There was traffic.

Hello. I'm Joyce.

Lachlan Jennings.
This is my wife, Gloria.

- SUSI: Hi, Gloria.
- Hello. What a cute couple!

How did you two meet?

How did we meet? Uh...

Well, there's, uh... uh...

Funny story. It's a...
interesting and funny story...

We met at a convention.

I made the first move.
Dragged him to a wine bar.

- Then bottle of pinot.
- Wine bar.

And before he knew it,
I trapped him.

- Forever.
- (LACHLAN AND GLORIA LAUGH)

- That's romantic, isn't it?
- (OTHERS LAUGH)

SUSI: What about you two?

I'm sure there's
a great story there.

Oh, no, no, no. It's not
a very interesting story.

- Come on!
- Come on, Gloria!

We're all friends.

Um, well, we were colleagues,

uh, working on a project
that required a lot of travel.

And so after
a few international flights,

we fell in love.

And, um, yeah,
a few months later,

he proposed.

Aw, that's a cute story.

- GLORIA: Aw!
- (ALL CHUCKLE)

LACHLAN: Yeah,
but what I'd love to know

is why Henley here
was so insistent

that I meet with you two.

VICKI: Uh, yes.

Um, Mr Jennings,

uh, my brother, Martin, and I

have spent the past year
building our spray tan start-up

into a successful business.

Over our trial period
with your company,

we have not only reached
our sales goals,

we have surpassed them,

despite facing normal hurdles
of a small business.

We feel ready and confident

to become long-term partners
with Chemist Galore.

(EXHALES)

Well, that's interesting.

- Isn't it? Yeah.
- LACHLAN: Yeah.

(STAMMERS)

And what differentiates Tansform

from every other spray tan
on the market

is the maqui berry, right?

Its... its anti-aging elements

sets us apart from
the rest of the industry,

gives us a compelling USP,

and has proven to have a... a
loyal and growing customer base.

- (SOFTLY) That's right.
- LACHLAN: Right.

But from what Henley's told me,

it sounds like your sales
have been assisted

by some... unique events?

Well, I...you know, there are
always external factors, right?

We just try to navigate the path

that's laid
right in front of us.

LACHLAN: Yeah, of... of course.

But didn't one of
your biggest competitors lose,

like, a week's worth of stock

from a vandalism incident?

Right, uh, well, Glow Bronze
was already on the back foot.

- Ah.
- Uh, threatened by us, actually.

And had to resort to a BOGO.

Kinda sad. Pathetic, really.
(CHUCKLES)

Uh, you know,
respectfully speaking.

VICKI: Mm.

Um, why don't you tell them
about the plane?

- The plane, yeah. The plane.
- VICKI: The plane! Right.

Thanks, uh, yeah.

We had a, you know, a... a
creative viral marketing stunt

that resulted in
a significant sales boost.

- (LAUGHS)
- LACHLAN: Right.

Oh, you mean the crash.

Oh, you know, we...
we think of it as

a... a demand-generating,
non-fatal ocean landing.

- Yeah.
- VICKI: You know?

- Yeah.
- Kind of beautiful, actually.

(LAUGHS) Right?

Yeah, beautiful.

VICKI: Beautiful,
if you think about it.

Maybe we should get some wine.

- Yeah, that... Please. Yes.
- VICKI: Yes. We love...

Uh, you know,
I'll... I'll be right back.

Excuse me. Yeah, thank you.

OK. Thank you.

He'll be right back. (LAUGHS)

(OTHERS LAUGH)

(BREATHES DEEPLY)

(EXHALES)

Ah.

Are you OK?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Just need a little reset.

He's not giving me very much.

SUSI: I know his type.

His biggest fear

is losing his place
at the top of the food chain.

It's why what I do works.

Guys like that, they only think
about what they have to lose.

So you... you have to show him

what he has to gain.

Yeah, I'm... I'm trying.

Not the business, Martin.

You.

You know, most people

would've broken under
Mony's interrogation.

But you didn't.

If you can survive that,

you can survive anything.

Show him who you are.

(HOPEFUL MUSIC)

Delicious vino. (CHUCKLES)

This one's from
the Margaret River.

- VICKI: Margaret River.
- LACHLAN: Yeah.

VICKI: Oof! In my opinion, one
of the better rivers, you know?

- And... Oh.
- (MARTIN GRUNTS)

So, uh, Lachlan,
can I ask you a question?

Shoot.

So, what do you look for
in a long-term retail prospect?

Minimisation of risk.

Well, interesting you say that,

because before
we started Tansform,

I was actually a risk analyst
at a... a small investment fund.

So I'd spend my days,
like, studying data

and predicting outcomes,
making determinations.

So I get where
you're coming from, right?

We're small, unproven,

you don't know
what might happen.

And there is certainty
in saying no.

(QUIETLY) Hey...

But when you say no
to everything,

you miss out on a lot, right?

For example, if I'd said no

to going on this
Tansform adventure with Vicki,

I'd still be a risk analyst.

So, Lachlan, I understand.

The safe move here
is to turn us down.

But wouldn't you rather
find out what happens

when you take a journey
down the uncertain road of yes?

Why don't we...

...order mains?

(VICKI LAUGHS)

LACHLAN: So he bends

No!

There's sang choy bao

and sweet-and-sour pork...
(LAUGHS)

(HENLEY CHUCKLES)

- So... so, Lachlan...
- VICKI: Mm-hm.

Listen, Martin...

...you hit your numbers.

You know, your USP is good.

But... but you are small
and you are unproven,

and... and the risk-taking speech

was, you know,
yeah, it was relatable.

But I didn't get to my position
by gambling on unknowns.

So...

...I'm afraid the answer is no.

I...I wish you guys good luck,
both of you.

Mmmm-hmmmm. (CHUCKLES)

Thank God.

Thank God this is over.

Whoo! (LAUGHS)

(SLURPS NOISILY)

- MARTIN: Vicki.
- Mmm!

- (WINEGLASS BANGS)
- (SWALLOWS NOISILY)

- Vicki.
- That river wine fucks.

Oh, good.
I didn't want to wear this.

But I had to project
the right image, right?

Oh, my God.
I'm so glad I did that!

For what?

Can we go now?

I wanna go.

(TENSE MUSIC)

Uh, but...

...Lachlan...

...I think that what Vicki
is trying to say

is that sometimes
we change who we are

because we feel
that it's necessary

to represent ourselves
in a different way.

- Yeah.
- Right?

To prove to someone else

that we're what they want.

Like, earlier, I told you,
"Oh, I'm a risk-taker."

But you know what? In truth,
I'm also still the risk analyst.

I'm just wearing
a different outfit today.

But if there's anything

that this journey with Tansform
has taught me,

it's that I can be
more than one thing, right?

I'm a skincare company CEO,

uh, a product pitcher,

uh, a rebate distributor.

I believe

that with something as simple
as a coat of spray tan,

we can become a different
version of ourselves.

Alright, someone
who's willing to... to do things

they've never even imagined, right?

Because at Tansform,

we want to help people
become whoever they want to be,

because no-one should be limited
to just being themselves.

(HOPEFUL MUSIC)

(SNIFFLES)

Hah!

Good!

I mean, I am wearing shapewear

tight enough to squeeze the arse
out of an elephant because...

LACHLAN: Gloria...

GLORIA: ..that's what you have
to wear as a VP's wife, right?

- LACHLAN: Darling...
- It's fine. Stop it.

Do you know that
we did not meet on a project?

- VICKI: Uh?
- Don't...

I was his secretary.

- LACHLAN: Gloria!
- He got me pregnant.

LACHLAN: Fuck!

GLORIA: Oh, Lachlan, stop it.

You put on this hard-as-nails,

no-feelings VP face.

But do you know what he'll do
as soon as we get home?

The moment we get home, he's
gonna snuggle up with the cat.

Hmm?

Alright, we all need

to wear a mask
every now and then.

Otherwise the world would know
how full of shit we all are.

(LAUGHS)

These two understand that.

(VICKI AND MARTIN CHUCKLE)

- MARTIN: Cheers!
- (SUSI LAUGHS)

VICKI: Oh. Hmm.

I should melt down
more often, huh?

SUSI: Mm! You absolutely should.

Don't encourage her.

OK, so what was it like
being Joyce?

Oh, you don't have
to answer that.

- VICKI: Yes.
- You know, not the worst.

"Not the worst." High bar.

It's like you said,

it's nice to be someone else
for the night sometimes.

OK, pee-pee Vicki
gonna go pee-pee. 'Bye.

SUSI: Hm.

So...

...what happens now
with the company?

Well, you know, we get it
into more stores

and sell more product
and it will... grow.

Hmm.

That's really great, Martin.

Look, I could not have done it
without you.

- Oh, come on.
- No, really!

I mean, what you said to me
in there,

no-one's ever said anything
like that to me before.

Oh.

Well, I've never said
anything like that

to anyone either.

- Hmm!
- Hmm.

OK, well, I should...

I should go.

Well, thank you so much
for tonight. Really.

I mean, if that whole
hotel thing doesn't work out,

you've got a bright future
in the spray tan business.

Ah! Well, I do go to
a lot of beauty conventions.

(BOTH LAUGH)

- (MARTIN SNIFFS)
- Goodnight.

MARTIN: Goodnight.

(INTRIGUING MUSIC)

VICKI: Alright, give me
the keys. I wanna drive.

MARTIN: Over my dead body.

VICKI: I'm not drunk.

I don't get...

- Maybe I am drunk.
- What?

Yes, you're drunk.

VICKI: I don't think
it even matters in this country.

(FAIRGROUND MUSIC PLAYS FAINTLY)

MAN ON VOICEMAIL: Hi, Susi.

This is Phil from
Western Sydney United Bank.

Uh, look, we did have to go
through your background check,

and, unfortunately,
some issues have come up.

Yeah, namely a criminal record.

And, unfortunately,
in this situation,

you have been deemed
too high a risk.

So, yeah, very sorry.

Um, we do thank you...

(PHONE BEEPS)

(BOTH CHATTER INDISTINCTLY)

- After we smoke?
- Yeah.

MONY: How did we do?

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

- Yeah.
- Good.

- Good.
- Yeah? Yeah?

I mean, today was mostly about
acclimatising.

Yeah, just familiarising
ourselves

with the, uh, new environment.

DAVE: Yeah.

What the fuck does that mean?

Well, well, Mony, it takes time
developing leads.

PETE: You gotta build
your clientele.

How many gamblers
took out a loan?

Well, I mean, numbers-wise,

it's a little skewed
in the short term.

I don't think it's a...

I don't think... numbers
is the clear indicator

to the progression
that we're actually making.

No, I mean, the future's long.

DAVE: Yeah, we don't need
to discuss 'specificities'

about numbers.

How many?

None.

Zero?

That... that's accurate.
Um... numbers-wise.

You two are fucking useless!

(FOOTSTEPS APPROACH)

And where the hell
have you been?!

Extortion op.

Finally, someone who knows
how to earn.

How much are we gonna net?

Uh, the shitbag's credit card
was rejected.

Turns out he was, like, seven
months behind on child support,

so there was nothing to extort.

I spent fuckin' five hours
with the prick.

So you're fucking useless too,
are you?

Fuck! Mones!

It was you who decided to go
all in on a fucking dog track.

The place is a shithole.

The punters are too broke
to pay for their drinks,

let alone interest.

The ones who win
don't pocket enough cash

to make blackmailing them
even worth it.

You know, if you really wanted
to right this ship,

you would sell Fun Time

and cash the fuck out.

(MENACING MUSIC)

(THUD!)

- (SUSI GROANS)
- DAVE: Mone!

(BREATHES UNEVENLY)

Talk to me like that again
and I will fuckin' kill you.

(SUSI GASPS)

And I'll kill that cunt dad
of yours as well.

(SUSI BREATHES HEAVILY)

Understand?

(FAINTLY) Mm-hm.

Now fuck off.

(GRIM MUSIC)

VICKI: Where's the waitress?

We should get, like,
mimosas or something.

A little hair-of-the-dog action.

If I even smell alcohol,
I'll barf.

I'm good with coffee.

OK, so what's the plan today?

(SIGHS)

OK, once our advance
from Chemist Galore

goes through, right?

Mm-hm.

- We stop by the bank...
- Mm-hm.

Pay back Mony because,
you know, I think that...

And maybe it's just me,

but I think it'd be really nice

to not have to go through life

worrying about getting killed
by gangsters all the time.

Ugh! That sounds great.

You know what?
We are getting champagne.

Hi.

Guys, you're really supposed to
go through the proper channels

for these types of things.

We understand, but this isn't
specifically about the victim.

It's about the crocodile.

Oh!

Well... (CHUCKLES)
...most people aren't aware

that dead animals
found at crime scenes

are normally handled by
people like me.

Yeah, they assume it's
a different skill set entirely.

But, no, I do it all.

Maybe that's a message
we could help promote.

In what sense?

We occasionally do, uh, profiles
at 'The Graph',

reserved for only the most
important local figures,

like the medical examiner.

I don't do this
for the attention.

JOYCE: Of course not.

Um, but can you help us?

That's dependent on
the information you're after.

Obviously, can't get into
anything from the police report.

Well, it's more of a curiosity.
Right, Nova?

Uh, yeah, I am somewhat of
a reptile expert.

Uh, removal, care,
uh, wilderness return.

- Nova found the croc.
- NOVA: I did.

And I'm stumped how
an animal like that explodes.

Well, we found a plethora of
man-made chemicals inside of it.

Um, by-product of living
near the city.

And any one of them could've
caused an adverse reaction.

But nothing specific?

No, not that I can recall.

Well, actually, there was
this one strange thing.

Um, we found traces of
this berry.

It's quite rare. Not local.

What kind of berry?

Oh, it was the...

Let me see.

It was...

It was...

...the maqui berry, yeah.

Maqui berry.

(INTRIGUING MUSIC)

Anyway, do let me know
about this profile thing.

I do jujitsu. (CHUCKLES)
Could be a fun angle.

My trainer's always, like, "You
should go pro..." (VOICE FADES)

(INTRIGUING MUSIC)

(MUSIC INTENSIFIES)

NOVA: That sounds good!
Right, Joyce?

- (GASPS)
- (MUSIC STOPS)

Yeah, great. (CHUCKLES WEAKLY)

(PHONE NOTIFICATION HOOTS)

Chemist Galore just emailed
our contract.

Yes! OK.

Read it to me. I wanna know
exactly how rich we are.

Alright, alright. Let's see.

"The terms and conditions
therein require..."

- Skip the boring parts.
- Yeah, OK.

Alright, the advance,
the advance. OK.

VICKI: Advance.

- Come on.
- Advance. OK.

Looks like we're being paid...

Oh, fuck.

Martin?

Martin.

Say it! What the fuck?

This thing says we're not
getting paid for three months.

OK. Uh...

So then we would not have
the money for Mony today.

That's correct.

(SOFTLY) Fuck.

You two doing OK?

Get the fuck out of here.

Yep!
