SHE SIGHS

KNOCK ON DOOR

Give me a minute, there's someone in here.

It's only me.

She's barely in the ground.

She cheated on me, remember?

Yeah, not on me, she didn't.

It's OK.

Let's grieve...

..in the more conventional way.

Well, in this part of the world, that means drinking a shit ton,

probably getting into a fight and passing out under the food table.

You do you.

Shit.

INDISTINCT CHATTER

QUIETLY: Sadie...

..have you done something really fucking stupid?

My whole life? A few things. For example, when I was...

Listen! Listen to me, Sadie.

Did you...?

Have you taken something out of my bag?

What? No way.

What about those little shits? I haven't seen them around.

But could they have got in here and taken things?

Oh, you've lost your drugs.

I haven't lost them.

Someone has removed them from my bag.

And frankly, right now is a terrible, terrible time - obviously.

I don't know anything. I promise. Everything OK here, Mia?

Why don't you excuse us for a minute, eh, Sades?

I'm fine. I just, um... Just, um...

You lost something.

Have YOU taken...?

Where is it?

I'm sorry, Mia, it's gone.

Oh, what the FUCK!

What the fuck! What the fuck!

That's not up to you! Do you even know what it was for?

Hey, hey, I took it... Is it in here?

You left it here, didn't you?

I got rid of it this morning... Where is it?

..while you were sleeping.

It's... It's gone!

Where is it?! What the fuck! WHERE IS IT?!

You lied to me about using. Get the fuck off me!

Get off me! Get off me!

Get off me!

SHE SCREAMS

Help! Help! Help! Help!

HOARSE SCREAM

Shh... Shh...

I'm going to let you go.

I'm going to let you go. I'm going to let you go now, OK?

I put them in the incinerator, Mia.

It's gone.

You're a psycho! You're insane!

You're a fucking psycho!

Mia, don't!

You don't even know what it's for!

Don't go! Please, don't!

Mia! I hope you know I'm just trying to help you.

Have you ever heard of tapering?! You can't just...

You can't just come off it!

I... I just will help you through it!

What?!

Mia!

TAKES DEEP BREATHS

Why was she screaming? You did something to her, didn't you?

You're talking about Mia, Mum. I did something FOR her.

Oh, you're always pushing, just like your father.

Did you learn nothing from the way he treated you?

You know, sometimes people need to be helped, Mum.

All you do is push them away.

Poor Hera.

Cassy, OK? Poor Cassy.

Do you know that she was having an affair, Mum?

Cassy - no.

Mm-hm.

Anyway, it doesn't really matter any more, does it?

Hmm. I suppose it doesn't.

Do you love me?

Of course, Mum.

Hmm. Of course I do.

Hi.

I just came to give you the...

..for the fashion show, this arvo.

You OK?

I said... I said no.

You can't.

There's literally no-one else and my dress is basically the finale.

I've already altered it for you, so...

OK.

These.

Cute.

Sa... Sadie, can you drive?

A car?

Yeah.

OK. Cos I would drive myself, but as you can see,

I'm not having the best of days.

I can drive if I have someone in the car with me

who has their full licence.

Huh. OK. Let's go.

Um, yeah, but what about insurance and stuff?

Cos Mum said that if you crash, then you...

Fuck.

It's fine. That's OK.

I just need one...

..one stop on the way, OK?

Arrested her yet?

I was hoping I'd catch you with the kettle on.

Want to follow me back up to the house?

Here's good.

OK.

Thought I might see you at Cassy Beaton's send-off yesterday.

I'm not a hypocrite.

Where were you the night before last?

Here. Teddy with you?

Nup. Right.

Anyone else?

Just me and the goats, Libby.

You know the eco-pods up at Korimako?

One of them got torched that night.

What's that got to do with me?

Someone was inside when it went up.

Door was locked, so I figured...

..whoever torched it knew someone was in there.

SHE SCOFFS

Are you pulling my tit?

Are you actually suggesting that...

I'm just asking questions, that's all.

So you think that I tried to burn someone alive?

Who? The bloody Scot-woman?

Someone bloody did.

I don't know what to think, really.

It's those rewilders who like to burn things, Elizabeth.

Not me.

Whoa! Fuck...

CRASH

Reverse is down.

Yeah. OK.

DOOR CHIMES JANGLE

G'day.

I need, um, Duranyl.

Or any opioid that you've got.

Yeah, sorry, I don't stock pharmaceuticals.

What have you got?

Weed, mostly.

Uh...

Some MDMA.

So just kiddy stuff, then?

Ha! Well...

You are without a doubt

the shittest drug dealer I have ever met.

Do you know that?

Aren't you a doctor?

Can't you just write yourself a prescription

for whatever the hell you want?

Unfortunately, it doesn't work like that.

Oh, and if you keep smiling, things are going to get

a lot worse for you.

OK, OK, just calm down.

Um, our local pharmacy wouldn't stock Duranyl anyways.

That'd probably have to come in from town, I'd say.

SHE GROANS

Oh! Oh! Oh!

What the hell? No!

How much is that?

It's um, it's...

..it's 190.

Wow.

Oh, what the shit?

Hey, hey! Take your spew with you!

Mm. OK. Let's go find where we're meant to be.

Um, the stage is a flatbed truck, but I'm not sure where the...

I'll catch you up.

Mia, you can do this.

You literally don't need drugs to have a good time.

Ha!

They... They teach you that in school?

Do you have any experience with the management of...

..opioid withdrawal symptoms?

Maybe you should eat something. Mum's always at me to eat,

even though I'm not a breakfast person.

But I could get you a whitebait fritter if you want.

If you want me to wear the dress...

..you need to stop with the...

..fritter chat.

OK. OK.

BOOT SHUTS/SHE WHIMPERS

You can just catch me up, or I can...

Are you going to be OK?

I'm really grateful you stepped in.

I get it. Cassy was your one real friend.

It's getting better.

OK.

OK.

Argh!

HARRY: Why did you give her the Pounamu? I gave that to you.

TEDDY: It was her something borrowed.

She came to my work. You could have warned me.

Hey, it'll stop now.

Now that she's buried.

HARRY SIGHS

Not here.

Where's your model?

She's here.

Where's your dress?

I thought you were modelling too.

Oh, no. I... I decided not to do it.

You know it's going to be lame, right?

Arrgh! Josh, you moron.

Grey Man's going to get you.

Get that paint away from my dress.

THEY LAUGH

Hey. Hey. Better effort, you know?

Actually doing the make-up this year.

That would be me. The guys all came round this morning.

Did their make-up.

Yeah.

It was everything we wanted. Thank you, Sadie.

It was perfect.

Yes.

Good job.

Hey, you coming up to the mountain tonight?

Me? Yeah, come on. You've never been.

It's going to be so much fun. It's festival night.

Only if you like being out of it and getting lost.

That doesn't seem right this year.

Hmm. Well, OK. Well, it's over to you.

But we'll miss you.

Eh, Ava?

Maybe.

I'll see.

Yeah, great.

Uh, Ewan will be here soon.

OK.

Yeah, you have a nice day too, eh?

Feijoa wine?

What's feijoa?

It's like guava, only a bit more pineapple-y.

I make it myself.

And, uh...

Don't worry about the colour.

I don't drink.

Well, technically, I can't sell it to you.

It's all about distilling licences and...

Mmm.

Yeah. I'll take the bottle.

Oh.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Ooh.

I thought you were lost for a minute. Or done a runner.

What do you think?

Can you see my nipple? There.

Yeah. I can fix that.

Just there.

Yeah.

Yeah. Good? Good.

Yeah. Yeah.

Sorry, just going to...

You have a singular talent for this, Sadie.

Is this what you want to do with your life?

Yeah, it is.

But...

..Mum would kill me.

Mmm.

Hiya.

You know...

..disappointing your mother is an essential part of growing up.

What's yours like?

Dead.

Oh. I'm sorry. How did she...?

Car accident.

How old were you?

Uh... I was ten. Cassy was eight.

They separated us and put us in care.

Brutal.

Mmm.

When I was 18, I applied for guardianship.

Amazing.

Man, Cassy was so lucky.

Being an only child sucks.

Can you just...?

Can you get my bag? Can you get my bag?

Yeah.

Thanks. Ta.

What's that?

Oh, it grows on you, actually.

Hmm. OK. As long as you don't fall off the stage.

Right.

I mean, you did some lovely work, Sadie, but...

I know. I'm sorry.

You're not.

Just the way I went about it all.

Is there anything I can do to make you feel better?

Don't ask.

Riz?

The missing Duranyl?

Only three people had access to the drugs room

at the time it went missing.

Riz...

How many times do I have to tell you I'm clean?

The other two checked out.

Do you realise how shitty a position you're putting me in?

I'm not the first doctor to self-medicate, all right?

I just needed them for the trip.

You need to come back to Scotland.

Riz. It's not just the missing drugs - it's Coulter.

I've spoken to Jacky. It's just formalities now.

Maybe police. The board will support me.

Look, I know what you're thinking.

But that man's death had nothing to do with the drugs

that you mistakenly imagine I was on at the time.

I stumbled upon this, Mia.

I was only supposed to be investigating the missing Duranyl.

What has happened? I was trying to build a case.

Support. In the event the Coulter enquiry went sideways.

Well, it hasn't. So while I appreciate your support, it's...

I spoke to a couple of your former colleagues.

Other hospitals.

Oh, come on, Mia. I think you know what I'm going to say - Dundee.

50-year-old male patient.

He developed severe arachnoiditis, died two days later.

That was an innocent error.

I was handed the wrong syringe.

Your next job - two deaths that could have been avoided.

Three patients dead after intraoperative cardiac events.

Traces of potassium chloride found in their... I...

I know you. You do not mess up.

Look harder, Riz.

Did you look at who those people were?

You're an anaesthetist, Mia.

You hold people's lives in your hands.

Precisely. Rapists. Child abusers.

One who beat his victim to such a pulp that she was unrecognisable.

Patient safety is our responsibility.

No-one mourned any of them.

It's not up to us to judge.

Four deaths, Mia - four.

That...that's not careless. It's not incompetent. You...

Four? Is it?

Well...

..you missed one.

THEY COUGH

No, Mia.

Get out! Get out!

So, no, there's no going back, Riz.

Jesus, Mia.

You know I'm going to have to say something.

I don't care what you do, Riz.

See, I'm staying here.

I am not budging until I find out who killed my sister.

And then...

..I'm going to fucking murder them.
