NARRATOR: Previously
on "The Sounds"...

Aaaah!

Hayden, that weasel
ripped me off.

-Well, how much was left?
-Half a kilo.

Mitch is gonna find you.
You know that, right?

ESTHER: The Cabbott's wanted
someone on the ground

to protect
the Cabbott's interests.

MAGGIE: Esther Ishikawa is
breathing down my neck.

She's coming for yours next.

Who was the guy with the folder?

TOM: That's what you're
worried about?

Paperwork?
Come on, relax.

[ Tom grunts ]

Stupid little cow!

-Alright.
-What is she thinking?

JACK: She drove Anette's car
off the road.

PANIA: You really want to know?

I saw your husband doing
something that he shouldn't.

What the fuck are you
doing with my kid?

-Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
-No! No! No! No!

Pancakes, pancakes, pancakes,
pancakes, pancakes, pancakes,

pancakes, pancakes, pancakes,

Okay, okay, I get it, I get it.
That's enough.

-Hey.
-Morning.

-Jack's not here?
-Nah, he's at work.

Which is where I should be,
but the she-devil

can't be left at home
without adult supervision.

How is Zoe this morning?

Ah! Shhhhh-ugar!

MAGGIE: Uh, do you guys
have any maple syrup?

HANNAH: We do sugar,
like, sugar and we squeeze some

lemon juice on it.

You had that?

MAGGIE: That sounds great, yeah,
let's do that.

[ Seagulls crying ]

Do you think she'll stay long?

Who, Zoe?
I don't give a flying...

fart.

Have you heard any more about
what's going on at the factory?

I've heard a lot of things.

And?

Some of it would curl your hair.

Hannah, are you all right?

You just -- you seem
out of sorts.

I'm sorry. I shouldn't be
taking it out on you.

MAGGIE: No.
Taking what out on me?

I mean, you probably don't
even want to think about it.

But if you could do anything,
can you please, please

don't let the fishery
go under, yeah?

No, of course not.

No, I won't, listen.
I'm sorting it out with Stuart.

Tom really made us believe
we could turn this dump around.

That sounds like him.

I'll take care of it, I promise.

KATH: Let me check
my crystal ball.

I see a lot of mornay
in your future.

All we'll be able to put on the
table the way things are going.

Worse things
than too much crayfish.

Tell that to Pelorus's
most recently unemployed.

The fishery?
Really? That's happening?

RU: It happened.

What, the whole thing's kaput?

Yeah.

If you find Tom Cabbott,
throw him back in.

Come on. You can't blame him.

[ Line ringing ]

STUART: Brendan, hi, yeah.
Sorry I missed your call.

ESTHER: Now we're talking.

Morena whanau.
How's the freezer?

HANNAH: Oh, hey.

What have you got?

RU: Look, bubba.

-Look what uncle got.
-Oh, my gosh. Look at that.

-Can I touch it?
-Yeah. Oh, careful.

-Kia tupato.
-Is it too sharp?

-Oh.
-What's that?

-Jengas.
-You're supposed to be

cleaning your teeth,
you little munts.

Mum, Auntie Zoe's done
a runner again.

Oh, no, no, no.

Does she do that a lot?

Yep.

Where does she normally go
when she takes off?

I don't know, but when Mum
finds her she'll go ape.

That thieving little bitch!

[ Groans ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Groans ]

[ Grunts ]

[ Laughs ]

[ Boat engine whirring ]

Aaah!

Hang on. Circle back.

Look at that.

You know whose that is?

Nah.

I never even noticed it
until yesterday.

Right.

I don't know.

Let's check it out.

[ Breathing heavily ]

Now, maybe -- maybe try and find
a way around that way.

[ Groans ]

[ Groans ]

Oh, my God.

So have they found him?

ESTHER: No. Still
100% "unrecovered."

God, Esther, do you have to --

[ Sighs ]

Nate? Are you there?

Mm-hmm. Yeah, I'm here.

On the plus side, it appears Tom
was sloppy with his paperwork

and there is a problem
with the fishery.

FRANK: Where the hell is he?

Uh, hang on, Esther.

FRANK: The meeting's
already started.

NATE: Dad, it's Esther.

No, it's not Tom.
About the business.

[ Groans ]

[ Gasps, screams ]

[ Screams ]

MECHANIC: She's toast.

I think it's a write-off.

That girl of yours.

MAGGIE: Where do you
think she's gone?

She'll be on a bus
to Christchurch.

Well, you're not going
after her?

We can't keep her here
against her will.

Believe me, I've tried that.

Where in Christchurch?

Maggie, it's my job
to look after Zoe.

Yes, I just -- I really wanted
to do something

for you for a change.

Look, if you're worried
about Bella, don't be.

Alright?

She's exactly where
she should be -- with us.

KARL: Fuck you.

Karl!

Hey, you going out on a shift?

Two days.

I need to lay low for a bit.

Can I tag along?

Could be worth heaps
in kiwi dollars.

We can score before we leave?

Come on.

Mind the mess.

[ Engine starts ]

MAGGIE: Uh, just this.

Sweet, two dollars.

Oh, um...

Sorry, we don't do things
on tick any more.

No problem.

Good book?

Yeah, it's really good.

You don't happen to know
Zoe McGregor, do you?

Yes. She's why we don't
do things on tick any more.

Did she come in here this
morning and buy a bus ticket?

No. No way.
She owes us 50 bucks.

Any idea where I would find her?

If she knows you're looking
for her, you won't find her.

[ Bell dings ]

-Hi.
-Hi.

How are ya, mate?
Galway regulars, thanks.

CHARLENE: Oh, we've
only got menthol.

-Sure, yep, that'll do.
-Okay.

That's 26.

Oh, they're two dollars each.

SKELTON: There you go.

CHARLENE: 30 dollars.
Thank you.

Thank you.

[ Bell dings ]

[ Engine starts ]

STUART: I don't have
that kind of cash!

I don't care how you do it,
just get it!

[ Sighs ]

[ Footsteps approaching ]

MAGGIE: What was in
the yellow folder?

You scared me half to death!

The night of the party.
The man who just drove away.

He gave Tom a yellow folder.

The environmental report.
Yeah.

I started to tell you
last night.

Yeah, and then you left
and didn't return my calls.

I thought I could sort it out
just now, with him but...

MAGGIE: I don't understand.

The deal's signed,
so the financing is in place.

What went wrong?

Yes, the deal's signed,
but without the report,

there is no deal.

The day after the party,
the day Tom went missing.

It starts out all right,
but then, as you can see,

there's nothing there.

I can't activate your loan,
Stuart.

Not until the Council have it
in writing, as promised,

that there'll be
no negative impact.

It's the last box to be ticked,
and the deadline is so close.

It's a printing glitch.

[ Chuckles ] Give me a couple of
hours, I'll sort it.

Sure thing.

But it wasn't a printing glitch.

Tom took a short cut.

And it backfired.

Everything is riding
on one environmental report?

I know.
Seems a strange ball to drop.

Do we know why he dropped it?

ESTHER: Not yet.

Tom bribed this guy?

Why?

Unless the salmon farms
will do harm?

STUART: No, no, no!

The farms are honestly
as sustainable as they can get,

but the Panias of the world
don't want any farming at all.

And if she gets
into the wrong ear, well...

So Tom didn't want
to take that risk.

But what you're really saying
is there wasn't one.

Yeah.

And then the scum bag
tripled his fee.

This is everything
I thought we were against.

So, they've pulled the plug
on the processing factory?

Yeah, and I am not surprised.

I've been into the accounts.
There's nothing left.

He wants $200,000?

I don't even have a credit card
at the moment.

Well, I'm tapped out, Maggie.

I'm going to lose my house.

Stuart, we cannot let this
business collapse.

There's just -- there's got
to be another way.

Well, could you, you know...
a loan, an overdraft?

No. The scrutiny I'm under?

No.

Well, what about Tom's
trust fund?

If I take that kind of money out
of my missing husband's account,

do you have any idea
what that...

All hell will break loose.

Well, in the circumstances,
could you see

if the family would help out?

You want me to ask Frank Cabbott
for money to pay a bribe?

No.

Never.

So they still have time
to pull it off

if this report
should come through?

ESTHER: Close of business day
after tomorrow.

FRANK: You better
make sure it doesn't.

Would you rather the investment
was wasted?

It's not our investment.

No, but it's an asset of Tom's,

and in the fullness of time,
it will pass to Maggie.

Take care of it, Esther.

Dad, she just lost her husband.

Take care of it.

Brendan, this is Esther Ishikawa

calling on behalf
of Tom Cabbott.

I'd like to discuss the status
of the loan for Pelorus Salmon.

If you can call me back
at your earliest convenience.

Isn't she supposed to be
leading the search?

Doesn't she normally stick
to eight knots?

So, you make an appointment
with the bank,

and I'll see if I can scrape
together enough money to --

PANIA: No, I'm going!
I'm going!

Hey, no, Pania, no, no!
Pania! No.

What's going on?

Kath found something
at Matai Bay.

STUART: Matai Bay?

It could be nothing.

It's not nothing.

Human remains.

-What?!
-Oh, God, honey.

It's not Tom.

Who is it, then?

It's not Tom.

I need to see, Jack.

[ Boat engine revs ]

Hey, where are they going
in such a hurry?

Kath's found human remains
at Matai Bay, not my husband.

Wait, you're sure
it's Matai Bay?

What does everybody here
know that I don't?

You don't want to go there
on this.

Uh, that'll be faster.

Hey! [ Whistles ]
You can't go there.

You try stopping me.

It's a crime scene, Pania.

You turn around,
or I'll have you locked up.

They find a dead body
and it's not Tom?

Aroha Kelliher, Ru's daughter.

She was murdered, must be
14, 15 years ago now.

The locals don't like
to talk about it.

HANNAH: Yeah, we're real weird
about psychos

who murder teenage girls.

Really?

It seems like
such a selling point.

You have what Kath calls
an "unfortunate manner."

Did you know that?

So how did you know the girl
was murdered

if her body only just turned up?

Oh, they caught the murderer.

Local kid, Ryan Cottle.

Pania's son.

But they never did look
for Aroha on that side

of the Sounds, right?

I really don't like this town.

DANE: Ryan Cottle.

Did 10 years
and then came back,

but everyone was pretty septic
so he shot through.

That's why Pania
is the way she is.

That's why everyone's
the way they are.

Ru's wife took off,

Uncle Jack got dark about it,
and Mum,

she wasn't like what she is now.

Before Aroha died,
she was normal.

They were close?

She was in charge
the night it happened.

[ Laughter ]

It was school camp.

We were over at Cook's Cove.

And Ryan ended up
convincing Aroha

to go bunking off into the bush.

They got into a fight.

MAGGIE: So you were there
at the camp?

Yeah.

Ryan ended up coming back,
but Aroha didn't.

What's the significance
of Matai Bay?

The school camp was over there.

Matai Bay's over there.

It's a long way
to move her body.

[ Footsteps approaching ]

Just right there.
You see it?

RU: Jack?

Jack?

Move.

[ Sobs ]

[ Sobbing ]

JACK: The scene guard
is on his way.

We won't leave her by herself.

I shouldn't be here.

PANIA: I told you!

I told you it couldn't
have been my boy!

How could he have got her
to Matai Bay, eh?

From where they were?

And he was out of it?

Ka pouri ahau.

I'm sorry.

I always have been.

Pania!

I think that the kids
snuck out that night.

That's what I believe.

Well, who else wouldn't with
that bunch of stiffs

like that for parents?

But I checked Ryan's bag
for booze.

He was in trouble
with the cops already.

I was on the war path.

I don't know what happened
that night.

But I do know one thing
My son never killed Aroha.

How did they get a conviction?

Oh, the poor kid.

He would've said yes to anything
after they'd finished with him.

-He confessed?
-Mmm.

And not one miserable soul
in this tin pot

backwater believed in him.

You did.

You know, I should've
left when he did.

But what can I say?

I'm just a natural thorn
in the side.

Do you know where he is now?

PANIA: No.
Wouldn't matter if I did.

He's not coming back.

I'm so sorry.

And here you were.

You thought you'd found
a pretty little paradise

for your grand plans?

Lady, you picked the wrong town.

You talked to Vicky?

She's, um, on a tour

around Europe with
her new husband,

so the cops need
to track her down.

Ah, mate.

GREG: The whole thing sucks.

And as for the mother,
she should've been

run out of town
with her waster son.

[ Billiard balls clacking ]

Will you pull your head in?
The guy's got a lot going on.

-Well, he wouldn't if --
-Hey! Shut it!

Let's stick together, eh?
It's a tough time for everyone.

[ Sighs ] I'm so sorry, Ru.

I can't even imagine what you
must be going through.

Actually of all the people
in here, you probably can.

Tom and I really wanted
to make a difference here

so whatever's happened
with the factory --

The fisheries, mmm.

My boat, all that stuff.

Doesn't really matter in
the whole scheme of things,

now, does it?

No, I suppose not.

She'd be 32, my girl.

She'd be the same age as Hannah.

She didn't get a chance
to grow up, though, you know?

So in my head,
she's still sweet 16.

Can I get you anything?

Um, actually, I was
just looking for Stuart.

He's hardly going to show up
here, is he?

No. Right.
I'm good, thanks.

Hey, you probably want
to leave Stu for now.

Annette.
It's complicated.

Sure.

For you and me.

No thanks.

But since I'm here, what's this
dead girl going to do

to the recovery mission
for Tom Cabbott?

Have dinner, and I'll tell you.

I hope you don't mind.

I found some food
in the fridge.

I just thought
you might be hungry.

Don't know what to say.

Best thing that's happened
to me all day.

I want to apologize
for coming out to Matai Bay.

I shouldn't have done that.

I needed to see for myself.

It's okay.

Yeah, look,
I've cordoned off the area

and left a uniform from Blenheim
there for the night

so the CIB
can take their time.

Alright, I'll see you
first thing.

Um, so what happens next?

Next, the circus comes to town.

So the Criminal Investigation
Branch from Wellington.

And they will...?

They will tear up the hillside
looking for evidence.

Pania's son, he was found guilty
and served time.

You know about that?

MAGGIE: It's hard to avoid talk
in a town this small.

Pania swears he's innocent.

Well, he confessed.

Does where they found her
make a difference?

Any word from Zoe?

No, but I'm here if she
needs me. She knows that.

So do you speak Japanese?

Do you?

[ Chuckles ]

No.

But you must have been
to Japan, right?

What does that have to do
with anything?

KATH: It's called
getting to know you.

It's called putting your nose
in where it's not welcome.

You're right.

Once a journalist.

Speaking of which,
the dead girl.

Is she going to bring
any trouble?

Her name's Aroha.

Will she bring the media?

In this day and age?

To Pelorus?
I don't think so.

Good.

My employers don't want
undue attention on Tom.

Well, no one down here cares
about a floating Canadian,

so my guess is you'll be fine.

Look.
It's been four days.

Tom's not floating.

He's gone.

TOM: It's crazy.

After all these years,
a baby in the house.

-Yeah.
-Yeah.

Everything you've been through.

You're incredible.

Are you still going to think
that when I wake you

to do the 3:00 a.m. feed?

Oh, you'll never wake me up
for the 3:00 a.m. feeds.

-No, probably not.
-[ Laughs ]

ZOE: Whoo-hoo!

[ Pania singing
in native language ]

[ Singing continues ]

PILAU: Is this going
to be a problem for you?

JACK: What?

PILAU: Having me in charge.

No, not at all.

Happy to see you've risen
through the ranks,

Detective Senior Sergeant Pilau.

Ryan Cottle's confession
was valid.

He retracted it.

He'd had sex with her, argued
with her, he was off his face.

It was a good conviction.

Then why are you here?

Because I know first hand
just how blind

small town cops can be.

That's fine by me.

I've got a recovery mission
to manage anyway.

PILAU: HQ has had
to prioritize resources,

so as of 1100 hours,

the search for Tom Cabbott
is officially over.

You're joking.

You're dreaming if you think
you're going to find him now.

JACK: This is not my call.

If it was, we'd still be
looking, but the resources,

they can only be
stretched so far.

But we can keep
our own planes up, right?

We could pay volunteers
to keep looking.

We don't have to stop.

You can do whatever
you like, Maggie,

and I'll help as much as I can.

ESTHER: But we need
to be realistic.

How long would you normally
keep looking in this situation?

I'm really sorry, Maggie.

Is it that much of a surprise?

You just don't have any idea,
do you?

About what?

You heard what he said, right?

They've given up.

Tom's never coming back.

My life is never going
to be the same.

You get that, right?

I got it a while back.

Now I'm charged with sorting out

the business
and getting out of here.

Leave the business alone.

My instructions are that
it is not your problem.

Tom's problems are my problems.

He's made promises
to the people in Pelorus.

I intend to keep them.

Well, you'd better be quick.

What does that mean,
I better be quick?

Why do you even care so much?

You've been here what, a week?

You don't even know
these people.

Tom knew them.

They believed in what
he was doing.

You could have a heart, Esther.

Yeah, because that always
works out so well.

What happened to you?

Nothing happened to me.

Can you even imagine
what this is like?

My husband is dead.

Stuart, who else knows
about the deadline

other than the guy
at the bank?

Okay, stop using your computer.
I think Esther has access.

Yeah, and call me
if you hear from Skelton.

Alright?
We can't let this happen.

GREG: Taking the million dollar
yacht out for a spin, eh?

Nice for some.

Got a face like a slapped bum.
What did you say to him?

I'm having a bad day.

Yeah. Yeah, I heard.

The search.

You feel like a boat ride?

It's good to have a special
place like this to come, eh?

Talk.

Cry, laugh, scream.

Whatever.

Do you think it was Zoe McGregor
on the boat with him that day?

PANIA: You need
to let go of that.

That's gonna drive you crazy
if you're not careful.

You know, just because
he was a dick,

it doesn't mean
that you didn't love him.

I'll just give you a moment
by yourself, okay?
