We've got company.

(ALARMS BLARE)

Party's over.

- Sorry.
What for?

- I hit a guy.

The party's over.
I literally just said that.

- Yeah, and I thought it was cool.

(SIGHS)

(ALARMS BLARE)

- Oi! Stop right there!

Oi!

- Get the jeep!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Look out!

Get in!

It's locked!

(MUSIC INTENSIFIES)

(DRAMATIC, MYSTERIOUS MUSIC)

Pull him in!

- I'm trying.
His body is all slippery.

Pull him in!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

They're getting closer.
I think I have a plan.

- I think it just might
be crazy enough to work.

I haven't said the plan yet.

- Yeah, I'm just predicting
that the plan is gonna be good, but also crazy.

I guess. Thank you for
having faith in the plan.

I would like to hear the
plan before I share my opinion on the plan.

Grab that can of paint
from the boot.

We're gonna get this thing
driving itself.

The plan was good.
The plan was good.

We better get moving, though.

The car's gonna crash out
at the end of this road.

(QUIRKY MUSIC)

- Where's Isabel?
- Uh, she's gone to Auckland.

- Forever?
- No, no, just for four days.

Here we go. Open the dossier.

Last night, Sue snapped some
documents.

And one name kept coming up.

Jim Marshall. He's a politician.

Leader/only member
of the Unite party.

Tomorrow morning, on the 10.30
train from Wellington to Auckland,

Jim Marshall is planning
to meet Dennis Green.

Next photo.

As we know, Dennis is the head
of the AIS, which stands for?

- Australian.

The A stands for Australian.
Australian Intelligence Service.

- Nice one, Sue.

Jim is a traitor.

He's agreed to sell Dennis
classified New Zealand documents.

- Those documents are classified.

- We need to find out
what those documents are.

- Whoa!

Awesome.

Why was it under the sheet?

- Just a little bit of showmanship.
I really like it.

- Now. There are six carriages
on the train.

Jim Marshall is travelling at the
front of the train, in carriage one.

Dennis Green is travelling at the
back of the train, carriage six.

At midday, they plan to meet
in the dining car, carriage four.

You will be travelling
in carriage three.

Upon departure, you'll
convert the carriage into a fake dining carriage.

At midday, Dennis Green will move
through to the real dining car.

At the same time, Jim Marshall will
come back and hit carriage three.

And think it's the
real dining carriage.

- Exactly.

Where, Anderson, you will
be waiting, pretending to be Dennis Green,

and you'll intercept the
documents from Jim Marshall.

Simultaneously, Michael, you'll
be disguised as Jim Marshall.

You'll make your way back
to the real dining car,

meet the real Dennis Green
and give him fake documents.

What am I doing?

- You will be the waiter in
the fake dining carriage.

(SCOFFS)

Nah.

No, I do not accept.

What?
What do you mean, what?

I always get the worst
fricking jobs.

Oh, here we go.

In Queenstown, I was stuck in a frickin
car all day while these two were frickin skiing

That's, like, so fun.

- It was fun.

In Christchurch, I was just
a straight up chef cooking spaghetti all day,

while these two are frickin
winning medals and all that.

Bronze.

And now you're telling me these
two muppets get to play high ranking diplomats

doing actual espionage
while I'm a frickin waitress?

No, I do not accept.

Nah.

- I'll go and talk to her.
You stay here.

Do not touch the train.

Oh.

- Help yourself to a pistachio.

You don't eat the shell, Michael.

Maybe you can have a bit of fun
with the character.

The backstory.
A complex characterisation.

The thing is, Sue,
they both kind of need to be men

because Jim and Dennis are both men.

So if you show up as
Dennis, or Denise,

Jim's gonna be suspicious.

Please.

Fine.

But just so you know, I am
gonna have a lot of fun with this character.

- OK.

Accent ? French.

- OK.

Personality ? crazy.

- Not a problem.

She'll also have a very nice hat.

- OK, we'll get you a hat.
A nice one, though.

- Yeah, and I'll get you
a really nice hat.

OK. I'm in.

- What the hell?

You ate all the pistachios.

You said we could.

- I said eat a pistachio, Anderson.

One pistachio.

Those are imported from Iran.

They were really moreish.
- I was gone for two minutes.

How did you even eat that many
pistachios in two minutes?

- I love pistachios.

Should we just get back
to the mission?

- Um, yes.
Um, intercepting the documents.

There is one problem with the plan.

We tried to book all the seats in
carriage three, that fake dining carriage,

but three of them
had already been booked.

By who?

- What?

OK, if you're not gonna go, we're
going to need you to cooperate with us.

We're spies.
We're not supposed to say that.

- These are not our regular clothes.
Shut up, Michael.

- Spies?
- Not real spies. Are you real spies?

Not so much yet.

We are going to need you to
play along with something.

A performance.
- A performance?

Yes.
- Oh.

In 80 minutes, a man will enter this carriage.
When he opens the door, it's showtime.

- Oh, OK.

(POPPY FRENCH MUSIC)

(MUSIC CONTINUES)

You ready?

- You've not given us any lines.

You don't have to say anything.
Just be yourself and act natural.

- I take acting classes.
That's perfect.

- We're not doing it
unless we get lines. - And motivation.

Like, what's my motivation?

No way.
I'm with them.

What?

As someone who was overlooked and
is playing a waiter, I think they should get lines.

- I perform better with catering.
Jesus Christ.

You have cheese and
crackers right there.

- Hot food. I think we need hot food.
- Yeah, we need hot food.

(TRAIN HORN WHISTLES)

(TRAIN CHUGS)

(TENSE MUSIC)

It's a dog-eat-dog world.

- It's a doggy dog world.

It's dog-eat-dog.

- It's dog eat dog.

Yeah, that's what I said.

- That's what I said.

Sounded like you said doggy dog.

- It sounded like
you said doggy dog.

Well, I didn't.

OK, well, maybe start again.

OK. It's a dog eat dog world.

- It's a dog eat dog world.

Luckily, I like the taste of dog.

Good.

Jim Marshall.

- Jim Marshall.

Dennis Green.

- Bonjour, monsieurs.
Welcome to the, um, how you say, uh, restaurant.

Have you dined with us before?

No.
- No.

- First time? Well, that is fine.

Do not worry, because all the meals
are written out on his, uh...

Oh, I just say an English paper.

- Menu's a French word.

- Mm, mm.

Um, what would you recommend?

- But that's the question.

Um, I personally love...

that one.

The side salad?

- Oui. Oh, I love the side salad..

I think we'll get the steak, rare.

- Fantastic choice, sir.

Uh, for you?

- I'll have the chicken parmigiana.
- Chicken.

And would you like that rare as
well?

- Won't rare chicken make me sick?

- It 100% will.

Why would you want it rare, then?

- I am from French, and so I?
My English is not so good.

So I will now, as you say, take those
orders to the kitchen and put your orders in.

So, why thank you.

I highly recommend the
leg of lamb.

- We've already ordered.

- You don't do milkshakes, do you?

No. Sorry.
- That's OK.

Tap water is fine.

OK, so that's one lobster risotto with
a glass of red wine and one oodles of noodles with t

- But an adult sized
oodles of noodles?

Yes, an adult size
oodles of noodles. - Correct.

- Thank you.

You're younger
than I was expecting

- Thank you.
You're looking good as well.

You bring the documents?
- Mm-hm. Big time.

You bring the money?
35,000.

- That's all it takes for a
man to betray his country.

It's a lot of money.

(FAMILY COUGHS)

WHISPERS: This train is weird.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

- So that's one steak rare and
one chicken parmesan well done.

- Well done to you as well
for getting my order right.

OK, buddy. Good luck, sir.

What?
- Bonjour. It is I, here with your meal.

(CHILD HYPERVENTILATES)

Danny?
What's wrong with him?

- Oh my God. Oh my God.

He's panicking. He's panicking
because you told him he was a spy.

- I did not.

FRENCH ACCENT: I did not do this.

OK, we're gonna move through there, I reckon.
- I told you, you must stay seated.

- I like it in here.
There's a bit of ambience.

Australia thanks you.

- Don't mention it, Australia.

See you tonight.
- Absolutely.

Wait. What is happening tonight?
Party.

That the Australian Beef Board
is throwing. You RSVPed.

- I can't wait for the party tonight.

- Stay seated, please.

This is crazy in here.
We're gonna move through there.

- I cannot let you do this.
I cannot let you do this.

Move!
- Do not be rude.

Oh my God, this man.
This man is violent.

- I said 'do not be rude.'

It's boring as hell out here.

I just looked at the top secret
documents we intercepted.

And it's just a list of every farm
in New Zealand.

How's Jim?
Still out cold.

Good. Don't let him
out of your sight.

(FANCY MUSIC)

Michael, you need to track down Dennis
Green and find out what he wants with those documents.

- Magnus is here.
He knows what I look like.

I told you you should
have worn those glasses.

- Yeah, well, they hurt my
eyes, and they made me look like that politician.

That's the point, Michael. Find
Dennis Green, say hi, and let's get out of here.

I'll keep a lookout for Magnus.

- OK. Dennis Green.

Where are you?

Oh.

Great party, huh?

- You can say that again.

- Great party, huh?

- Yeah.

- Can you hear me?
- Yes, I can hear you.

I'm responding.
- Oh, yeah.

I'm? I'm, uh, Jim Marshall.

I'm a? I'm a politician.

- Nice to meet you. I'm Robert.

- Do you live in Auckland?
- Yes, but I am from Uganda.

We came here two years ago
as refugees.

- Oh, wow.

Dad, these two men are from the
group I was telling youabout.

the Dorian Society, New Zealand's
first organisation for gay men.

- Oh, I see.

Very, very cool.

Who's your friend?
- The name's Jim Marshall.

The politician?
- The very same.

Wow.
- You know my work.

Of course I do. You campaigned to stop
New Zealand from accepting refugees with disabili

- Did I?
Yeah.

- Sorry.

You also killed the Crimes Amendment
Bill, which would have legalised being gay.

What the hell, man?
- What's your problem?

- I just?

You just... what?

- I guess I just don't like...

Yeah?

- People who are different to me.

Like who? Specifically.

- Gay people and disabled refugees.

- Whoa!
My goodness.

You are a piece of shit.

- Get me away from this scumbag
piece of shit.

Michael?

- Isabel. I'm undercover.

My name is Jim Marshall.

Oh, sorry. Hi. Jim Marshall.

- What are you doing here?

Uh, my boyfriend got an invite.

- Oh, sorry if it's not appropriate,
but I thought you guys had broken up.

We had, but then I apologised about the whole shoes in the bed thing.

And now we are back together.

- He sounds amazing.
Where is this incredible guy?

Uh, that's him over there.

I'm not getting in
until you get in.

OK. It's warm. It's good.

Isabelle!

- He looks awesome.
He's drunk.

Get in here!

I should probably go get him
out of the fountain.

Well, a pleasure to see you,
Mr Jim Marshall.

- You too, Mr Jim Marshall.

You're Jim Marshall.

- Oh, yeah.
I'm Isabelle.

- Sorry.
From the office. - I remember.

See ya.
Bye. - Bye.

Michael, we found Dennis Green.

Find out what his plan is.

- Oh, crap.

Sue, we may have a problem.

Jimmy, boy.
- Dennis, boy.

Glad you could make it.

Of course.

What do you mean, you lost him?

Well, he can't have gone far.

Probably.

Jim. Jim.

Jim!

You really helped the cause today.

- And if I may be so bold,
what is the cause?

You're on the right side.
That's all you need to know.

- Really?

New Zealand is dying.

And a golden dawn is coming.

A green and golden dawn.

Can we help you?

My name is?

Why did you do that?
- He was weird.

- And you had me on edge
by talking all scary.

I'm going to go now.
But it's great seeing you again.

- Jim, where are you, mate?

(TWIG SNAPS)

Oh my gosh. Wow.
You really scared me.

Oh, wow, that was crazy.

What are you doing here?

Why are you?

- Oh.

Oh, sorry.

Hi, Jim Marshall.

- What's wrong?

Ricky broke up with me again.

And this time it's forever, I think.

- Oh, no. I'm so sorry.

I know. There's plenty
more fish in the sea.

- No, I wasn't going to say that.

There are plenty more fish in the
sea. But every fish is different.

And you liked that fish.

Do you have a tissue?

- No, but you could use my bow tie.

It's OK.

- Here.

Thank you, Michael.
You're a good fish.

Hey.

Are you the guy who hates
gay people and disabled refugees?

- (SIGHS)

Yes.
What?

You got 10 seconds to get out of
here before we kick your arse. 10...

- OK, I might have to go now, but please know
that I don't hate gay people or disabled refugees

But you just said that you do.

- I don't have time to explain,

but you are one of the most wonderful
and most beautiful fishes in the whole ocean.

And anyone would be so unbelievably
lucky to catch you on a hook or in their net.

OK, I gotta go.

(ROMANTIC MUSIC)

Something good
will come our way.

Maybe this good things
gonna happen today.

If I were honest,
I'd tell you everything.

But it keeps coming out as lies.

It's not a promise,

in case you're wondering,

it's not some blessing
in disguise.

Something good will come our way.

And maybe this good thing's
gonna happen today.

Something good will come our way.

Something good
will come our way.
