Previously on "The Sounds"...

TOM:
We're going to get it, Maggie,

everything we ever wanted.

MAGGIE: I have spent
half my life with him.

He's a good man.

You two seem like the real deal.

I thought so, too.

ZOE:
Does she look like him?

MAGGIE: I've never met him.

You were married to him.

How do you know that Tom
is Bella's father?

Look at her.
Tell me she isn't his.

MAGGIE: If I can get you
the sample today,

how soon could I
get the results?

So they're definitely a match?

I don't want his itinerary.
I want my money.

The money is hidden
in a complicated web.

Whatever you're hiding from,
I hope it's worth it.

My family.

We did it, Maggie.

We really fucking did it.

[ Birds chirping ]

All you have to do
is stick to the plan.

Our first meet-up
is in four weeks,

and if there's a problem,
I'll go to the shrine --

At Nikau Bay, and we meet there.

Yes, I know.

We've planned this
within an inch of our lives.

We're ready.

Aren't we?

Because if we aren't,
we don't have to do this.

And we can just go sailing
around New Zealand

and then go home.

Go anywhere, for that matter.

Without the money?

The money doesn't matter.

But this next bit?

We both have to really want it.

[ Sighs ]

I want it.

After today,
there's no going back.

Are you sure?

I love you.

God, I love you so much.

Be careful.

See you in four weeks.

MAGGIE:
You're hurt.

TOM: Yeah.

Being dead's more painful
than you'd think.

[ Grunts ]

What happened?

TOM: There was a landslide
right by the cabin.

I got trapped
under the water tank.

Thought that was gonna
be it for me.

[ Winces ]

Rusty nails.

Tom, that looks serious.

TOM: You couldn't have
come to me anyway.

There were cops
crawling all over the place.

Here.

Ru's daughter.

I mean, what are the chances?

Yeah, turns out Pelorus wasn't
the perfect town after all.

You treated that yourself?

You wouldn't believe
what I've been through.

I had to get the hell out of
there before the cops found me.

I mean the stitches, Tom.

Look, don't worry.
It was just a hermit,

-ex-con I came across.
-What?

TOM: He didn't have
a clue who I was.

How do you know?

Trust me, it's not a problem.

Trust you.

Yeah.

Things got pretty
messed up out there.

Yeah, things got pretty
messed up where I was, too.

TOM:
Why, what happened?

Well, for a start,
your father sent Esther

to take care
of the family interests.

Has she put it together?
Us and the money?

Do you want to stop for a second
on the fact your father

and brother stayed home
when you drowned?

Why would I be surprised
by that?

All I know is that
I am done in the bush.

We need to change the plan,
like now.

The plan we spent
three painstaking years

putting together?

The plan we had to
stick to like glue

so we don't end up in prison
for the rest of our lives?

Yes, Maggie, the plan.

Yeah, our plan.

[ Sighs ]

I wanted to drink it.

[ Sighs ]

A thousand times over.

MAGGIE:
But you didn't.

Hey, it's okay.

Tell me what happened.

The bastard blindsided me.

FRANK: Gross revenue rising
at more than 10% per annum

and nothing
but further growth predicted.

Impressive, especially
when you consider

my father all but drank
this company into the ground

after his father
built it from nothing.

Do you have any idea
how difficult it is

to turn around a ship that was
leaking as badly as this one?

Well, it takes perseverance.

[ Frank chuckles ]

I don't take crap.

I do take risks.

I cut throats when I have to,
and I persevere.

These are the qualities
that our next CEO needs

to secure our expansion
for the next generation.

You're my sons,
and I love you both.

But this is a business decision.

What is this?

He's giving it to you?

FRANK:
It's for your brother to decide

if he can find a role for you.

Well, I w-- I will.
Of course I will.

Tom!

MAGGIE: He cannot be allowed
to keep doing this to you.

It's not gonna be him.
It'll be Nate.

Talk about cut-throat.

We need to get away
from these people.

[ Chuckles ]

Yeah, like a vacation's
gonna fix everything.

No, I mean for good.

Let's get out of here.
Let's get out of Vancouver.

Let's get out of Canada.

We can start over anywhere we
want a million miles from here.

We could be a family on our own.

Away from this poison.

Isn't that what you want?

We could try another adoption.

And what would we live on?
You know he'll cut us off.

We're able-bodied humans, Tom.
We'll make it work.

He'll never let me walk away.

MAGGIE: He doesn't have to
letyou do anything.

We just go. It kills me
to see him crush you like this.

You can't be the man
you are meant to be

if he is constantly bullying
and belittling you.

You don't think I'm the man
I'm meant to be?

I love you more than anything.

You know that.

But look at where we are.

Look what he does to you.

I know.
I just...

[ Sighs ]

I don't want to be poor.

MAGGIE:
We're not gonna be poor, Tom,

and -- and there are
worse things.

Excuse me.

It's Tom and Maggie Cabbott,
right?

Do I know you?

Monty Roberts.

I work with your father.

Associate Vise President,
Asset Protection.

So today's the day he gave
the CEO job to your brother?

You're the guy...

MONTY: Yeah, who protects
your father's assets.

That's me.

And I have a proposal
I'd like you to hear.

I siphon off, say, $60 million,

and then I bury it in a cavern
of trusts and shell companies

so complicated no one but you
can ever find it.

MAGGIE:
Okay, um, this is ridiculous.

We should go.

H-How do we get this money
if it's tied up in your cavern?

Well, in a couple years,
you know, when the heat is off,

you burn out, disappear --
That's up to you.

But eventually you turn up
where I tell you, and voilà.

The money is yours.

No one can ever put you
and it together.

You realize that talking
about this,

just talking about it,
is conspiracy to commit fraud.

You know, the decision
to make Nate the CEO

-is not a recent one.
-How do you know that?

Because they meet regularly
without you.

Have done for a couple of years.

That's not true.

MONTY: I've been in some
of the meetings.

Maggie, these are not
good people.

No.

But weare.

How exactly do you expect
to get away with it?

Well, that's the beauty of it.
I won't.

Advanced pancreatic cancer.

Confirmed as of 9:47 a.m.

There's nothing can be done,

and even if there was,
I wouldn't do it.

I'm very sorry.

Don't be.

I've been a shitty husband
and even shittier father,

and unfortunately, my only skill

lies in hiding other people's
money, not managing my own.

I'm screwed.

Sorry, man.
That's rough.

You know,
I've spent a lot of time

working out ways to stiff
your old man in recent years,

but this is perfect.

I take the rap and die in jail,
and you get off scot-free.

MAGGIE:
Oh, my God.

My only condition
is that when you collect,

my ex and daughters
get $10 million.

It's -- [ Chuckles ]

It's genius.

I'm very sorry for your health.

And everything else, um,
but we've heard enough.

Meet me at Stanley Park,
Third Beach, day after tomorrow,

if you have second thoughts.

Yeah. We don't have much time
and only get one shot at this.

TOM:
Once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

It's a crime!

TOM:
It -- It's a victimless crime.

You of all people know
how I feel about your father,

but I'm not gonna
steal from him.

I can't even take the things
he tries to give me.

But you were the one
who wanted to run away.

MAGGIE:
I said I wanted to moveaway.

It's perfectly legal.

You're being naive if you think
we can just disappear

and have this magical
just-add-water family

and live happily ever after!

No, that isn't what I said.

I don't think that we will --

It won't be easy, okay?
We'll have to work.

But it will be better than this.

We won't have to steal anything
to get it.

That's not naiveté.

That's how the real world works.

But Monty's plan is foolproof.

Now who's being naive?

Baby, no plan is foolproof.

Was Monty a setup all along?

What?

Did you arrange
for Monty Roberts

to be waiting for us
in that bar?

Are you ser--

Of course not!

The man was drowning
his sorrows.

I had nothing to do with that.

But thanks to him,
look at what we've done.

He saved us, Maggie.

From what?

Jesus Christ, what is this?

From my father.

He's a monster, and now we're --
we're rid of him.

[ Stammers ]

You know, this is not
exactly the reunion

I was -- I was hoping for.

Oh, I'm --
I'm disappointing you?

I'm sorry.

Oh, for God's sake.
We're both here.

Look at us.
We're getting away with it.

There's no cops, no SWAT team.
What's your problem?

How could I have been so blind?

Seriously, do we have to
do this now?

[ Groans ]

What's the matter with you?

Baby, we've been apart for what,
not even two weeks.

You're acting like
a total stranger.

What's the matter with me
is I no longer believe

a single word you say.

I feel like crap.

Did you want that baby?

What baby?

Why would you dig that up now?

MAGGIE: Because that was
the beginning of everything.

Maggie!
Thank you for seeing me.

Please, please sit down.

I thought Tom would be here.

Time for the adults
to talk amongst themselves.

The adults?

FRANK: My son can charm
the birds out of the trees,

but you must know you're
considerably more intelligent

than he is.

I don't think that's true.
I don't think that's fair.

He'll never finish college
if he becomes a father at 21.

I can promise you that.

Tom and I have talked
about it, and...

I can handle my course load,
and if I help Tom --

FRANK:
On three hours' sleep a night?

God knows the world needs
one less environmental lawyer,

but are you really ready
to throw all that away

for changing diapers
and mopping up spit?

You'll ruin your life.

You'll ruin the kid's life.

You'll ruin Tom's life.

Mr. Cabbott, I don't think that
you're giving us any credit.

FRANK:
You haven't earned any credit.

Neither has Tom.

[ Sighs ]
I mean...

he's soft.

He's in love.

One day he can be a father,

but right now I wouldn't
be doing my job

if I didn't try and persuade you
to reconsider this...

decision.

If you love him, you won't force
this responsibility on him

until he's ready.

You should have the liver.

You're looking a little pale.

MAGGIE:
Did you?

Did you want it?

Give me a break, Maggie.

You have no idea
what I've been through.

Do you have any water?

Back on the yacht.

Is there any chance we can --
you know, you can tell me

what this is really all about
so we can...

patch this up
and get the hell out of here?

Yeah, it's about trust.

TOM:
Oh, here we go.

You can't have a marriage
without it.

Maggie!

'Cause if you don't,
then how do you know

where the lies end
and where they begin?

Hey, where have you been?

I've been trying to get ahold
of you all afternoon.

I just thought we could do
something simple for dinner,

like, I don't know, pasta or...

What's wrong?

I met with Monty.

You're -- You're kidding, right?

After everything
that we talked about.

My father paid the baby's mom
to take her back.

[ Laughs ]

I don't believe that.
Even Frank wouldn't do that.

Monty arranged the payment.

He told me.

What are you talking about?

Frank paid that woman off.

Why?

TOM: To stop us getting
what we wanted.

We had that little girl
for a week.

I held her...

...in my arms for a week.

She was mine.

She was ours.

He hates me.

How would we do it?

As soon as you can,
you set up a business

as far away from here
as you can get.

Something Frank won't
be interested in.

And then?

I give you the key to the money.

When the time is right,
you sell the business

to a shell company you also own,

and you launder your way
to happiness.

I want $160 million,
not $60 million.

I'm going into
the protest business.

MONTY:
Anti-mining, by any chance?

All I'm going to give you
is a name and address.

You should keep it to yourself.

You mean not tell Tom?

I've worked for this family
for a long time.

He's my husband.

He's a Cabbott.

MAGGIE:
So Monty wasn't a setup.

Right?
That's what you're telling me?

Monty was the real deal?

How do I know?

How do I know Frank really
paid off that mom?

All I've ever had is your word.

You think I'd lie to you
about something like that? Why?

Because you knew
it would change my mind.

TOM: Baby.

Please, we're in this together.

Okay?
We -- We always have been.

So you've never lied to me?

[ Chuckling ] Hey.

You know, you buy me a sweater
and I hate it

and I tell you I love it.

But if that's a crime...

So there's nothing
about the salmon fishery

that you've kept from me?

Are you kidding me? It's the key
to the whole enterprise.

Yeah, and because
of the loose ends

that you promised me
didn't exist,

we nearly lost the whole thing.

All you had to do was get
the fishery set up properly.

I did!

You bribed a crooked
environmentalist.

And guess what.

Half the report he gave you the
night of the party was blank.

The bank pulled out.
Work at the factory stopped.

And the whole thing
nearly collapsed.

And I had to fix it.

With no money,
without raising suspicion,

all while Esther
was breathing down my neck

every minute of the day and
reporting back to your family.

So you fixed it.

You bribed him, Tom.
You didn't even need to.

I had to make sure
we could pull this off.

You got to understand that.

So if it worked out okay,
can we just move on?

Spoken like a true Cabbott.

Okay, Saint Margaret.
You know what?

You lost your halo
the second you decided

to steal $160 million, okay,

so you can stop with all
of that high and mighty!

No, you're right.
I did.

It was a mistake.

This whole thing was a mistake.

Pelorus Sound at the top
of New Zealand's South Island

is particularly deep,
with a strong tidal drag.

Yeah, yeah,
get to the guts of it.

Which means,
ecologically speaking,

the salmon farms create
far fewer problems

than in shallower water.

How much are you asking for?

$5 million, from my trust fund,
to set it up.

We need boats, nets,
platforms, transportation,

all the infrastructure before
we buy in the fish stock.

That seems reasonable.

It'll never make any money.

It's a solid investment.

Solid sets the bar too low.

I'm persevering, Dad.

Isn't that what you're always
telling me to do?

[ Chuckles ]

TOM: Bye.

I can't believe we did it.

"Solid sets the bar too low."
Give me a break.

We're really doing this?

We're really doing it.

Do you even remember
why we chose Pelorus

in the first place?

We chose a fishbowl.

So that everyone would see how
in love, how flawless we are,

so there would never be
any question.

But left to your own devices...

The drinking, Tom!

You started drinking, after 10
years, without asking for help,

without even telling me.

TOM:
Oh, my God.

I didn't think...

Hey, look, it was just
a minor blip, baby, okay?

I swear.

I was just trying to be social.

You know what the Kiwis
are like.

It never became a problem.
I never lost control.

But you're right.
I should have asked for help.

I just --

I was ashamed.

I told you, it's about trust.

TOM: I know, I know.
You're right.

You're so right,
and I am sorry, okay.

I'm so sorry.

It'll never happen again.
I promise you.

Is there anything else
I need to know?

I swear on my life, no.

The report -- my bad.

The drinking was stupid.

[ Sighs ]
Stupid, stupid, stupid.

But that's it.

What about the meth pipe
on the boat?

What meth pipe?

MAGGIE: The one stashed
with the life jackets.

No. No, no, no.
We're talking, uh...

a few drinks here and there
with the locals.

I...

I never saw anything like that.

It's not mine.
I promise you.

Must belong
to someone else, then.

Someone who likes partying...

...and heavy metal and has
an ever-so-tasteful tattoo.

Maggie, whatever
you're thinking --

Zoe McGregor,
the cop's daughter.

That's what I'm thinking.

You know, not only
did you betray me

and everything that I thought
we had together,

you actually put me in danger.

You risked three years
of planning.

You risked everything.

You were prepared for the cops
to look closely.

I was not prepared for you
to cheat on me.

You cheated on me.

TOM:
Maggie.

Just don't lie to me
anymore, okay?

Whatever else there is,
I don't --

I don't think that
I can take any more lies.

I was drinking.

She got me at a weak moment.

She had drugs.

I fall apart when
I'm not with you.

You know that.

You know, coming down here
by myself,

I wasn't sure I could do
everything I was supposed to.

What can I say?

You know, sometimes
I think Frank's right.

I don't have what it takes.

That's what it feels like
when I'm not with you.

[ Voice breaking ] I screwed up,
baby, okay? I screwed up.

I really screwed up,
but I love you.

I love you so much.

You more than screwed up, Tom.

TOM:
She meant nothing to me.

She has a baby.

Yourbaby.

That's not possible.

You have a baby, Tom.

Not mine.

Not ours.
Yours.

No, Maggie, Maggie.

-Stop. Just stop.
-Maggie, you have to believe me.

After everything
we've been through.

It is bullshit, okay?
It's bullshit.

She is just some
small-town loser.

That baby has nothing
to do with me.

A DNA test begs to differ.

Then she faked the test!
She's lying.

Ihad the test done.
It's your baby.

That can't be true.

Looks like you got
everything we wanted, Tom.

Just not with me.

[ Sighs ]

I feel like I'm being punished.

Hey, hey.

We can adopt.

What happened to us?

I'm so sorry.

We could've just moved away when
Frank gave Nate the company.

We could be living somewhere...

ordinary
with a family of our own by now.

Instead, look at us.

Can I come closer to you?

Can I come closer?

I'm a screw-up, okay?

I've always been a screw-up.

But you know
how much I love you.

We can fix this.

We can figure this out,
the two of us.

Nothing has to change
because of my mistakes.

We just need to ramp up
the timing.

We can still pull this off.

Pull it off?

I need food, clothes.

Okay, and then you
get the passports.

-We can --
-Tom, you have a daughter.

What, you would just leave her?

I'm a dead man, Maggie.

I can hardly just walk back
into Pelorus.

Yes, you can.

-No, no, you can. You can.
-No.

That's how we fix this.

You just walk back in.

Say you've been lost
in the bush.

It's not even a lie.

It's too late.

MAGGIE:
It's not what we planned, but...

The people in Pelorus,

they put their faith in you,
in us.

If you saw the -- the risks
that they took looking for you.

Lying to them has been --

How can I talk about trust?

We could stay.

In Pelorus?

Well, we can't undo
what we've already done,

but we can just stop,
just stop right now.

Maybe you and I will survive
this, and maybe we won't.

But there's a beautiful
8-month-old baby girl

back in that town,
and she's yours.

What about the money?

I don't care about the money.

No, you can't leave $160 million
rotting wherever it is.

I can. We can.
We have to.

TOM:
No! No.

The cops'll want to interview
me. They'll never fall for it.

You'll have to massage
the truth, okay?

-TOM: I can't!
-We can do this!

I'm not going back, okay?!
I'm not going back!

Okay, we need to get the money.

We need to get the money
and we need to disappear.

We had one chance to do the
wrong thing, and we took it.

And now we have one chance
to make it right.

Well, I'm not taking it.

Her name is Bella.

Your daughter.

Oh, come on.

We can send her money.

We can set up
a trust fund for her.

She can have a great life
without ruining it for us.

You really would just leave her?

All these years,
I've been so busy battling.

Your father was right.

You don't have what it takes.

So you're gonna leave me here?
Is that it?

You're gonna leave me here
for dead

after everything
I've done for you?

Oh, what, you lied
and you got loaded

and you slept around for me?

-You have no idea!
-I have every idea.

I killed someone!

[ Gunshot ]

Okay, I killed someone!

What are you talking about?

The hermit.

It was an accident.

He was crazy.

He went for his gun.

I got there first.
I didn't mean to do it, okay?

I didn't mean to do it,
but he's dead.

He's dead.
And I killed him.

What did you do with the --

Where is he?

TOM:
No one will be looking for him.

We'll be long gone
if he's ever found.

Tom, that's someone's husband
or father.

No, he's no one.

I'm telling you.
I took care of it.

Who are you?

I'll tell you who I'm not.

I'm not the spineless wimp

no one thought
could wipe his own ass,

let alone steal a fortune
and get away with it.

It can still work.

We walk back into town.

And you tell the truth.

You say there was an accident
and you did what you had to --

You're not going anywhere
without me.

-Let me go.
-TOM: Why?

So you can go back,
start a new life without me?

I would never do that.

I just need time to think.

No!

-TOM: Oh, my God.
-[ Grunts ]

Oh, my God, I'm so sorry.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Okay?
I would never hurt you.

I'm fine.

I would never hurt you.
I didn't mean to.

-I know.
-I would never hurt you.

-You know that.
-I know.

I'm okay.

I'm fine.

I'm just gonna go to the boat
and get something for this.

No, no, no, no, no.

I-I don't think
you should do that.

I'll be right back.

I promise.

Okay, no one can see you,
so you just stay here.

Be right back.

[ Both grunt ]

TOM:
I can't live without you.

You're all I've got.
I'll die out here on my own.

[ Screaming ]

[ Screams ]

Maggie!

Maggie.

Maggie!

[ Grunts ]

[ Gun cocks ]

Maggie!

Baby, I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I'm always sorry.

I'm sorry!

Maggie, I'm sorry!

Maggie.

Just come out, baby.

I'm sorry!

Been sorry my whole life.

Do you have any idea
what that's like?

Do you have any idea
what that is like,

being sorry your whole miserable
goddamn fucking life?!

I just want you to trust me.

You can trust me, okay?

You can trust me.

You never give me the chance,
though.

You say you have faith in me
and you never prove it.

You never prove it!

I've trusted you
with everything, Maggie.

I have trusted you with
everything because I love you.

Maggie, I love you!

I love you!

Do you hear me?

[ Branch snaps ]

Baby!

Wait up. Wait!

Stop running!

I said stop...

running!

[ Grunts ]

Baby!

[ Maggie shouting ]

TOM:
I'm not gonna hurt you.

You just need to stop running.

[ Maggie breathing heavily ]

TOM:

Maggie!

Tom, please.

I love you so fucking much,
baby.

Please.

TOM:
Baby, I love you!

Tom. Please.

All I want is for us
to be together.

Okay?
That's all I want.

Put the gun down,
and we can talk about it.

No, but it's the gun
that's making you listen.

I don't know what to do.

Just tell me what to do.

TOM: Stop.

Baby, we just need
to get out of here, okay?

We need to get out of here now,

and then everything's
gonna be alright, okay?

I promise you,
everything is gonna be alright!

Everything is gonna be okay,
I promise.

Okay, Jack's expecting me back,

and there's still police
everywhere because of Aroha.

And if anyone finds the man
that you killed, Tom --

You don't love me anymore!

Do you?!

Tom, please put the gun down.

Please.

You could go get the money,
okay?

I'll tell you how.

You just need to know
where to go.

You don't love me anymore.

Tom, please!
