You've changed.

In a good way?

In a good way.

We can't compete with Glow Bronze

if they're offering a BOGO.

So just cut off their supply.

You've brought me some peace, Terry,

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

-We have an issue. - Issue?

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

There have to be consequences.

What kind of consequences?

You will hand over your territory.

The casino?

You found something?

Yes, I did.

There's an opportunity for me

that's outside of all of this.

You're not going anywhere!

Oh, my God.

Congratulations! You did it!

- We really did! - Let's celebrate!

-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. -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...

...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. - 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.

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.

-Mm. -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.

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.

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!

She likes champagne.

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

Yes.

Uh, y-yes.

And your wife is discerning

and d-d... ...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.

Henley really said I shouldn't come?

I literally thought that guy loved me.

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.

We have a problem.

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?

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?

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?

Obviously, being extorted the night Kash died looks bad.

- But... -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.

Mm-hm.

Oh, speaking of - check this out.

- What? - Nice, huh?

I should sell these.

Yeah, I'll take one.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Fuck.

Fuck!

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.

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.

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

Not hard to see why.

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...

...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.

70.

50.

- 60. - 50.

You know it's fair.

51.

Or I walk.

Here's to a fruitful partnership.

And fuck the casino.

It's all there. You can trust me.

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

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.

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.

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?

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.

OK. Cool.

Yeah. Mm.

But, um, good luck.

You're gonna be great.

Thanks. 'Bye.

You wanna make some money?

Ohh!

Oh, that... that is the cleanest piss

this side of southern Sydney.

That is... that is so clean.

You could drink that.

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

I mean, c...

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

All done.

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

Yeah, did a lot of crunches this morning.

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...

Shit.

OK, just, like, give me 20 minutes

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

Just...

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.

God.

Nah.

Bleurgh!

What?

Joyce can't come tonight.

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...

Goddamnit!

Ah, fuck it!

Hello!

Hey, are you busy tonight?

Why?

I need a date.

A date?

Not like that.

Not like what?

Not, like, romantic.

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...

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.

Mm.

What time?

Yes!

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...

And don't kill yourself.

OK. OK.

Andy, behind! Behind!

Tez!

What's going on?

Can you hold onto this, please?

You know there are people who can help you detox?

Professionals?

How long?

24 hours.

OK.

Now, remember.

Play by the rules.

Yeah. I'm all zipped up and corporate ready.

You don't have to worry about me.

Yeah.

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. - Yeah.

Now, that prescription counter...

-Yes. - ...can be marketed.

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...

Hi. It's great to meet you.

Good evening to you... both.

- Yeah. -Hi.

Um...

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.

-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.

That's romantic, isn't it?

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.

Aw!

Yeah, but what I'd love to know

is why Henley here was so insistent

that I meet with you two.

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.

Well, that's interesting.

- Isn't it? Yeah. -Yeah.

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.

- That's right. -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.

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.

Uh, you know, respectfully speaking.

Mm.

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

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

Thanks, uh, yeah.

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

that resulted in a significant sales boost.

Right.

Oh, you mean the crash.

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

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

- Yeah. -You know?

- Yeah. - Kind of beautiful, actually.

Right?

Yeah, beautiful.

Beautiful, if you think about it.

Maybe we should get some wine.

- Yeah, that... Please. Yes. -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.

Ah.

Are you OK?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Just need a little reset.

He's not giving me very much.

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.

Delicious vino.

This one's from the Margaret River.

-Margaret River. -Yeah.

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

And... Oh.

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.

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?

Really good.

And I said, "I can't control

"who buys your fuckin' foot cream!"

So he bends the entire table.

No!

There's sang choy bao

and sweet-and-sour pork...

- So... so, Lachlan... -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.

Thank God.

Thank God this is over.

Whoo!

-Vicki. - Mmm!

- 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.

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.

Hah!

Good!

I mean, I am wearing shapewear

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

Gloria...

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

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

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

-Uh? - Don't...

I was his secretary.

-Gloria! - He got me pregnant.

Fuck!

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.

These two understand that.

Cheers!

Oh. Hmm.

I should melt down more often, huh?

Mm! You absolutely should.

Don't encourage her.

OK, so what was it like being Joyce?

Oh, you don't have to answer that.

-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.

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.

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

Alright, give me the keys. I wanna drive.

Over my dead body.

I'm not drunk.

I don't get...

- Maybe I am drunk. - What?

Yes, you're drunk.

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

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...

- After we smoke? - Yeah.

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.

Yeah.

What the fuck does that mean?

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

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.

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!

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.

Mone!

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

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

Understand?

Mm-hm.

Now fuck off.

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?

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... ...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.

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. -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.

Anyway, do let me know about this profile thing.

I do jujitsu. Could be a fun angle.

My trainer's always, like, "You should go pro..."

That sounds good! Right, Joyce?

Yeah, great.

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.

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.

Fuck.

You two doing OK?

Get the fuck out of here.

Yep!

Maqui berry.
